A new policy memo would require some people seeking green cards to leave the country while they wait abroad for their applications to be processed. The memo, which is vague on how this process would work, is already raising concerns for green card holders. We talk with immigration reporters and an immigration attorney about what this change means and who it impacts most. Guests: Hamed Aleaziz, reporter covering the Department of Homeland Security and immigration policy, The New York Times Michelle Hackman, reporter covering U.S. immigration policy, The Wall Street Journal Alexis S. Axelrad, president-elect, American Immigration Lawyers Association; partner, Barst & Mukamal LLP Learn more about your ad choices.
