President Barack Obama has now pushed through a policy change that means many young illegal immigrants can legally live and work in the US, sidestepping Congress after years of stalemate over the nation's immigration policy. For $465 (about 375 euros), they can apply for residency and a work permit. The new rules apply to people under age 30 who came to the US under the age of 16 and have either a high-school degree or have served in the military.
