The Real USA - Immigrant children face many obstacles

Young adulthood can be a stressful time for the children of immigrants. In this story we meet Mikhel Crichlow, who arrived in the United States from the Caribbean when his mother was hired as a teacher in New York City. His mother was given a working visa for herself but Had to wait many years to apply for permanent residency. Many children, like Mikhel, turned 21 before their parents became permanent and overnight, lost their status. There is little protection for minors with pending visas and a new legal provisions are badly needed. Patrice Howard reports for teleSUR
