As we have seen many times in history, often with horrific consequences, new leaders frequently try to purge their enemies when taking power. In the case of the potential second term of Donald Trump, his primary public target appears to be immigrants.

President Trump has often outlined his goal of “mass deportations.” There are numerous […]

From US citizens to Personas Non Grata to US citizens again

2024-11-05T13:30:19-05:00

The Ortegas were all U.S. citizens, from the grandfather, Joaquin Sr., to his son, Joaquin Jr., and Jr.’s wife, Laura, and their three kids, including 17-year-old Joaquin III. What made this family unique was that they were all U.S. citizens, but they were all born in, and still living in, the Dominican Republic.

Joaquin Jr. […]

Tech layoffs mean massive foreign national casualties and abandoning the heart of Tech success

2024-11-05T13:40:14-05:00

Google recently laid off 12,000 U.S.-based workers, following a trend of other prominent US Tech companies that recently had massive layoffs.

The engine that drives these companies are the engineers and tech workers, and many of them are foreign nationals who are sponsored by the Googles of the world. Google simply downsizes/adjusts/streamlines (use whatever term […]

Yes, this is about Illegal Aliens and Dinosaurs

Two years after his inauguration, when he called for immigration reform and asked for $3.5 billion to strengthen the border, it took a humanitarian crisis of epic proportions to finally force President Biden to get on Air Force One and see the real-world effect of his administration’s failure to devise a coherent and actionable […]

Making The Immigration Process Prohibitively Expensive – Is this the right way to curb immigration?

2024-11-05T14:22:40-05:00

Have you ever heard of pork-barrel legislation? Do you know where the money that taxpayers pay goes? If you take the time to read through an entire bill that is signed into law that has anything to do with spending or budgets, you will be amazed to find line items that have absolutely nothing […]

Title 42, The Covid Excuse and The Equal Application of the Law to ALL

2024-11-05T14:30:03-05:00

In April, I wrote a column about how the use of Title 42 not to follow due process and adequately process the removal of migrants who illegally entered the U.S. was outdated, given that the Covid epidemic had all but disappeared. On November 15, a federal judge agreed with me and struck it down.

Judge […]

The elephant in the room was ignored, or maybe it’s not an elephant at all?

2024-11-05T14:39:17-05:00

In the buildup to the mid-term elections, there was a lot of talk about US immigration, how the system was broken, what would be done with the thousands of migrants coming across the border illegally, and what America wanted to do with them or not. For many past mid-term elections, this was a political […]

With COVID essentially behind us, what should the U.S.’s policy be towards migrants on the border?

2023-12-18T09:54:14-05:00

In the twenty years that I have been practicing immigration law, only one topic has remained hot; Illegal border crossings of immigrants, the lack of a coherent government policy to deal with it, and the debate over the effects that this has on the U.S. economy.

First of all, there is one thing that we […]

Trump vs. Biden

2024-11-06T11:16:58-05:00

9 months into the Biden administration, what are the fundamental differences between the administrations when it comes to immigration?

Consistency is one. The Trump administration was anti-immigrant from the beginning and was consistent for four years in closing the doors to immigrants, both physically and metaphorically. The administration changed the way that immigration law was […]

The National Interest Exception (NIE) is here to stay, for now.

2023-10-19T11:52:26-04:00

The National Interest Exception (NIE) is here to stay, for now. Recently the administration announced that Presidential Proclamation 10143, which suspends direct travel to the United States from the Schengen countries, UK, Ireland, South Africa, Brazil, Iran, China, Iran, and India, would be in place “for the time being”. In doing so, it also […]
