CHICAGO (AP) — An illegal immigrant in Chicago is reluctant to celebrate a new deportation policy that could allow many illegal immigrants facing deportation the chance to stay.

Tania Unzueta is a graduate student who could benefit if she ever faces deportation. The 27-year-old came out as illegal last year during a public rally.

She came from Mexico with her parents when she was 10. But their visitor visas have long expired.

Unzueta says she wants to see how the policy will play out before celebrating.

Homeland Security officials announced Thursday that authorities will review cases of about 300,000 illegal immigrants facing possible deportation. Those without criminal records get to stay and have a chance to apply for a work permit.

However, some GOP lawmakers say Obama is working against Congress' will.
