I-601 Waivers Information

PRELIMINARY ADJUDICATION OF I-601 WAIVERS

Good news.... A federal appeals court has enjoined (blocked) two more provisions of the Alabama immigration law, the toughest in the country. Parts of the law have been blocked in piecemeal fashion by different courts. But this isn’t the end of the story. The injunctions are only temporary, until the court can make a final ruling on the law’s constitutionality. Moreover, during any lawful stop, police in Alabama are still required to determine the immigration status of anyone they suspect is undocumented. This provision was enjoined in Arizona’s law, but it wasn’t touched in Alabama.

The picture is even more bleak for slightly younger men: 22.4% for high-school graduates 20 to 24 years old. That's up from 10.4% four years ago.

We heartily applaud Governor Brown's historic decision to sign AB 131. We agree with the Governor that "...The Dream Act benefits us all by giving top students a chance to improve their lives and the lives of all of us."
