FAMILY UNIFICATION IS NOT CHAIN MIGRATION

2018-03-30T14:52:06+00:00

FAMILY UNIFICATION IS NOT CHAIN MIGRATION By: Louise Mucino “THE OPINIONS EXPRESSED IN THE FOLLOWING COMMENTARY ARE SOLELY THOSE OF THE AUTHOR AND DO NOT PURPORT TO BE THOSE OF THE FOGLE LAW FIRM.” Recently, certain prominent officials in the public eye made some statements to support the idea of restricting Family-based immigration (along with the visa lottery). This official's statement was somewhere along the line of saying that a single immigrant can bring in “unlimited” numbers of family, to include distant relatives. It is now being referred to as chain migration, as though a single person could bring a large [...]

Funding Bill Deadline and Immigration Economics BY: MIHAI SALAGEAN “THE OPINIONS EXPRESSED IN THE FOLLOWING COMMENTARY ARE SOLELY THOSE OF THE AUTHOR AND DO NOT PURPORT TO BE THOSE OF THE FOGLE LAW FIRM.” As Friday’s deadline grows near Congress needs to consider the economic benefits of accepting the Democrats bill proposal to avoid yet another partial government shut-down. It’s belief that the United States immigration system needs to be restructured to provide a more user-friendly approach to the people, period.  As a fellow immigrant to the United States it is disheartening to see a system that is so largely controlled [...]

The American Dream

“The American Dream” By: Claudia Rea “The opinions expressed in the following commentary are solely those of the author and do not purport to be those of The Fogle Law Firm.” Ever since I moved to the U.S. I’ve always had a personal conflict with the phrase “The American Dream”. With all honesty, my journey in the U.S. has been a lot of things but not a dream. Throughout ups and downs, sometimes the only thing that kept me going was the conviction that my destiny was to help others. I made it my life’s mission to be an asset to [...]

GOVERNMENT LAWSUIT LAUNCHED AMID MORE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION TREATMENT By:  The Fogle Law Firm, LLC The government does not seem to know when to draw the line in the sand when it comes to the treatment of immigrants in this country.

ICE ARRESTS INCREASE AS DREAMERS DEADLINE PASSES

2018-03-05T16:08:16+00:00

ICE ARRESTS INCREASE AS DREAMERS DEADLINE PASSES A few weeks ago Congress attempted to protect dreamers and provide a much-needed bipartisan immigration solution. Four proposals were brought before the Senate and all four bills failed to get the necessary votes for Congress to keep its word and protect the Dreamers by week’s end. With all the attention surrounding Congress’ open immigration debate in early February, many may not have noticed the large amounts of arrests and ICE raids in the Los Angeles area. Los Angeles, a targeted sanctuary city, has been the focus of the Trump administration due to its reputation [...]

Harsh Immigration Enforcement Continues Under Trump

2018-03-02T20:37:57+00:00

HARSH IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT TACTICS CONTINUE AS CHILDREN ARE SEPARATED FROM THEIR PARENTS Separating children from parents seeking asylum is a crisis and the result of a broken immigration system that is constantly being attacked and degraded by the president. The disgusting behavior made possible by Trump’s war on immigration and Congress’ failure to protect dreamers last week devastates the American people and adds to a long list of unmet promises. One of the many heart wrenching stories comes from Molly Hennessy-Fiske with the Los Angeles Times. She reports on a Brazilian woman and her son who were separated at the border in [...]
