Homeland Security Recruitment Show
What was ABC thinking when they agreed to air a reality show about the Customs and Border Protection workers? Instead of a real picture of the gross misconduct and unfair practices these power maniacs utilize, we see crazy people who get excited about finding drugs, pull guns on kids, and think everyone is a terrorist. [...]
Congratulations President-Elect Obama-Immigration?
Its official. They just called it, Barack Obama will be the next president of the United States. Senator McCain is conceding. So here we go…what will be the first level of agenda items? What might be taken care of during even this interim period? Can immigration finally get brought to the stand and perhaps get [...]
Immigration Getting a Little Attention
Well I am starting to see some people pay attention. There was an open letter in the ABA Journal that refernced immigration as an issue, and the CFO magazine included that it was one of the hot topics that CFO’s want to see addressed. These are good signs. But its scary when the most immigration [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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.
A Little Good News
So while we can not get the candidates to talk about immigration (the only time the word cameup in the debate was by McCain talking about Obama’s ads), there has been some small good news. First the TN visa has been extended from one year to three years. Second, the EB-5 pilot program was extended [...]
US should take some lessons from Canada!
I am so frustrated with how backwards the current US Immigration system is. Workers are needed in so many categories and so often its just impossible to get to the US or stay in the US. But then you see the programs that Alberta, Canada is running, and you can’t help but wonder how they [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
New Form of Asylum?
Recent case law suggests that there may indeed be a new form of asylum.
