Immigrants in Kentucky and across the United States hold many important jobs. Some of them work as medical researchers. In fact, of all the post-doctoral researchers in the life sciences in our nation, 55 percent are immigrants residing in the United States through temporary visas. Unfortunately, the Trump Administration's recent crack-down on immigration and the repeal of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program has left many of them worrying about how not only their professional future, but also their personal future, will be put into jeopardy.
Immigrant researchers fear future may bring deportation
Reuniting loved ones through family immigration
It can be very difficult for a person to make the decision to immigrate to the United States so they can have more freedoms and a better future. This decision is especially difficult if a person must leave loved ones behind in their home country. However, once an immigrant in Kentucky or elsewhere in the nation is legally established in the United States, or if he or she was born here and is a U.S. citizen, they may seek to have his or her family immigrate to the United States as well.
Deportation and removal raid scrapped citing hurricanes
Immigrants in Kentucky and nationwide come to the United States to seek a brighter future, to be reunited with loved ones or to escape danger in their homeland. However, the road toward citizenship is not always easy, and sometimes an immigrant faces the threat of deportation.
Remove your uncertainty regarding the removal process
Some say that which is feared the most often never occurs. If you're an undocumented immigrant living in Kentucky, you may hope this old adage proves true. It's difficult not to live in fear, however, when no matter where you go or what you do, you carry with you the knowledge that your legal papers for residence in the United States are not in good standing. Even if you have a decent-paying job and obey state laws, you can still run into legal trouble.
'Dreamers' may have deportation concerns if Trump ends DACA
The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program protects young people known as "Dreamers," who came to America illegally before age 16 and have been living in the country for a certain amount of time and have not done anything illegal. DACA has allowed almost 800,000 young immigrants to avoid being deported and gave them the chance to find lawful work through a two-year work permit, which could be renewed. Many of these immigrants came to America when they were so young, that they have no memory of their birth country.
