Which Way, L.A.?
Los Angeles and Obama's Modified Dream Act When he decided to block the deportation of some undocumented immigrants brought here by their parents, President Obama emphasized the limitations of his executive order. To get a two-year reprieve from deportation and qualify for a work permit, a candidate must have been brought to the US before the age of 16.

We get three perspectives, including one from an undocumented graduate of UCLA Law School.
