Clinton, 18, came to the United States from Belize when he was a year old. Since then, the Staten Island resident said he has been taking his life “day by day,” anxious about his immigration status.
Yesterday he arrived at St. Mary’s Church on the Lower East Side seeking legal advice on how to become part of a federal program announced by the Obama administration in June that allows qualified immigrants to apply for work permits for up to two years without fear of deportation. The temporary relief, called “deferred action” can be renewed.
