The US is truly scary! Schools are off limits…
In a move that can only be described as disgusting, I am again embarrassed to live in this country. Missouri has now implemented a lawthat requires schools to check their students status and prevent those that are out of status from enrolling in the schools. I understand that people don’t want the scholarships going to [...]
Rubashkin Gets Arrested
The CEO of Agriprocessors finally got hauled into court for immigration violations. Its interesting, it looks like most of the charges stem from activities after the raid. It looks like he assisted in getting the new employees fake documents, and even rehired some of the terminated people with new fake documents. This comes ont he [...]
Check Out Fox Chicago Tonight
They are doing a story on non-citizens voting. I hope they show how it can happen by mistake. Jeff Goldblatt is great, I hope he shows how people like me can get crossed up by the Secretary of State when I got a drivers license, and the idiots in the polling places.
Mayor Bloomberg Saves the US
Mayor Bloomberg wrote an awesome letter to the next president. It really hits home. I am inseritng the section on Immigration. Please listen people!
Immigration
Pioneering green energy—and countless other new technologies—requires the best and brightest minds. Unfortunately, our broken immigration system has been shutting too many of them out. In many cases, brilliant young students come [...]
Bolante goes Home
I have never been so aghast at our government. They have been colluding with Philippine officials for over two years and now they leak Jocelyn Bolante’s travel information resulting in a media circus. I can not believe that after denying him rights for so long they now have him sitting on a plane with members [...]
ICE is Repugnant
I can’t believe it. They have managed to get even worse. I already knew they had no respect for individuals and their rights. Today I learned that they have no care for human life. I guess I should not be that surprised since we have already seen ICE deny medical treatment to people and allow [...]
Dear Supreme Court – Please!
The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case where someone used a social security number that turned out to belong to someone else. The question is whether you need to know the particular SSN belonged to someone specific. Some of the jurisdictions have said you need to know in order to be punished by [...]
Visa Waiver Program Expansion
Expansion of the Visa Waiver Program! South Korea, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, and Slovakia, all will now enjoy visa-free travel to the United States beginning about one month from now. Hurray for what looks like easing of access to the US.
Let’s Debate!
I know tonight is the third and final debate, and I am hoping that somehow immigration comes up. Everyone keeps saying the candidates agree on the topic so that there is nothing to talk about, but that is just so untrue. Obama has talked about driver’s licenses for everyone, he implied he might extend immigration [...]
Priest expresses frustration that lingers months after Postville, Iowa Raid

More Raids? Really? Really?
Are you kidding me? I feel like SNL should do a skit on this its so ridiculous. After watching what they did to the Federal Government and AIG last night on the Thursday night special, I think they need to get on someone about these raids. The Stock Market is collapsing. Congress is pretending to [...]
Right to Attorneys & Good Advice
The Attorney General is reviewing the rights of immigrants to effective assistance of counsel. The right and protection that it affords is much needed, since courts have gone so far as to say that in some cases as an immigrant, even if you get bad advice and follow it, you may not have a right [...]
More Ill Advised Raids and Arrests
For some reason this country’s immigration policy keeps pushing senseless enforcement. Last week they announced over 1100 people arrested in California as part of a 3 week crack down. Before that it was a plant in Mississippi, and before that it was a plant in Iowa. Each of these crackdowns has been described as the largest in [...]
How come no one says anything about Immigration?
I watched another debate last night, and still not one word about Immigration, reform, policy, enforcement. How can something that was such an important issue be gone? No one in Congress seeems to do anything for the professions that need workers, like nursing, or trucking. What about the fact that Microsoft is moving jobs to [...]
Kudos to the NY Times Editorial Board
Its about time people stood up and said we should do something. Kudos to the NY Times Editorial Board for what they said this morning. Of course its a shame that even they don’t think its fgoing to happen. Visa recapture could grant over 500,000 Green Cards to the people who ahve been waiting in [...]
New Form of Asylum?
Recent case law suggests that there may indeed be a new form of asylum.
AzulaySeiden Client Speaks Out
I came across this article in the Chicago Tribune today about one of AzulaySeiden’s clients.
Philippine case takes odd turn <http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-phillipine-prisonerjul15,0,7685253.story>
Chicago Tribune – United States
Bolante, a close friend of the Filipino president’s husband, Mike Arroyo, controlled those funds as an undersecretary for the department of agriculture…
Why is the US trying so hard to keep me out?
I am here working hard, and making contributions to society. I don’t understand why there are so many people in government who think that everyone from another country should be sent back. I just want what every immigrant before me wants, a chance to live and prosper in this country made up of immigrants.
