The Chrisitan Science Montior has a story on other states taking Arizona’s lead. Here’s the link. From the Constitution itself and the body of caselaw developed in the area it is clear that immigration is the exclusive province of federal law, not state. This issue demands a national voice, not the state-by-state policies apparently to come. Congress — please make immigration reform a priority now!
I'm a solo immigration attorney based in the Washington, DC area. Thanks to the purely federal nature of immigration law, I work with clients all over the United States and around the world. I work with my clients on a variety of immigration-related matters, including adjustment of status & green cards, removal & deportation defense, Section 245(i) issues, alien relative petitions, EAD & work permit issues, K-1 Fiancé(e) and K-3 Spouse visas, asylum applications, non-immigrant visas and consular processing issues.
The purpose of this blog is to air recent developments in immigration policy and procedure outside of the usual industry places, as well as share my views and experiences helping clients navigate the often perilous journey through the American immigration system. If you would like to contact me regarding any of these blog postings or for any other matter, here is my contact info:
