Nursing homes. We are joining this hearing in progress. Youre watching live coverage on cspan3. As one basis for work authorization. U. S. Cis has used deferred action in medical and humanitarian cases for decades. The idea is longstanding, and, in fact, customary. In one data set i received in 2011, nearly half of the cases i could identify involved serious medical conditions. And many of the cases involved more than one factor.
