Looking Forward To 2016: Immigration
The WABE news staff is looking ahead to the big stories and issues of 2016.
Reporter Elly Yu is following immigration issues, including President Barack Obama’s executive action on immigration.
“Georgia, along with 25 other states, sued the president over this policy. This is a policy that would grant undocumented immigrants deferred action from deportation and some benefits like work permits and Social Security numbers,” Yu says.
The U.S. Supreme Court may decide to take up that lawsuit.
The Supreme Court of Georgia is currently considering a case in which the plaintiffs, a group of immigrant students, have sued to get in-state tuition at public colleges and universities.
“The Georgia State Supreme Court will likely decide that case this spring, whether these students can get in-state tuition,” Yu says.
In the coming days, we will post about many of the issues the WABE staff expects to make news in 2016.
