President Barack Obama will outline in a television speech tomorrow night his plan to give between 4 million and 5 million undocumented immigrants a reprieve from deportation.
Obama’s executive actions would give temporary visas to undocumented immigrants whose children were born in the U.S., according to people familiar with the proposal. The plan would expand eligibility for his 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program that has given protection to 600,000 child immigrants.
