President Obama Announces Shift in Immigration Law in Rose Garden Announcement

Maryland State Senator Victor Ramirez addresses an immigration rally in front of the White House, after U.S. President Barack Obama announced that the administration will stop deporting most young illegal immigrants who came to the United States as children, in Washington, DC on June 15, 2012. The young immigrants would be allowed to apply for work permits if they met certain criteria, but Obama noted that the policy shift did not mean immunity nor amnesty. UPI/Pat Benic
