Montana Public Radio interviews Shahid Haque about how Obama's executive action could affect immigrants working in Montana agriculture, construction, and the Bakken region. He shares the story of a woman brought to the country at age two who missed an earlier legalization opportunity but could now seek protection as the mother of U.S.-citizen children. He also discusses mixed-status families, economic contributions, and the legal basis for enforcement discretion.
The interview gives a distinctly Montana account of a national policy, grounded in the families and industries Shahid encountered through years of representation.
