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 [...]

2018-03-11T19:10:49+00:00

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. This is especially telling when that negative treatment involves minors or young adults fleeing horrible situations existing in their home country.                   Luis Sanchez with The Hill brings us news in his latest article of a recent lawsuit launched by an immigrant advocacy group on behalf of teenagers who were transferred from government shelters to ICE detention centers upon turning 18.

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 [...]

Senate Fails to Protect Dreamers as all Immigration Bills Bombed Yesterday

Senate Fails to Protect Dreamers as all Immigration Bills Bombed Yesterday By:  The Fogle Law Firm, LLC Congress and lawmakers have again disappointed the nation. The Senate put four immigration bills yesterday up for a vote in hopes to make good on their promise to protect the Dreamers who risk deportation after March 5th, absent two Federal Courts blocking that action by the Trump Administration. All four bills failed to muster enough votes to make any headway on a bipartisan immigration solution. After a government shutdown and months of negotiations, the Senate ends this week in a stalemate. It’s been almost [...]

TRUMP’S THREATS TO VETO IMMIGRATION BILL ADDS PRESSURE TO IMMIGRATION DEBATE

TRUMP’S THREATS TO VETO IMMIGRATION BILL ADDS PRESSURE TO IMMIGRATION DEBATE By:  The Fogle Law Firm, LLC As we continue to keep a close eye on the open immigration debate underway this week, Senator Charles E. Grassley introduced the bill “Secure and Succeed Act.” A proposal that reads as if it was ghost-written by President Trump himself, which of course, he spent no time publicly supporting. “I am asking all senators, in both parties, to support the Grassley bill and to oppose any legislation that fails to fulfill these four pillars – that includes opposing any short-term ‘Band-Aid’ approach, Trump said [...]

TRUMP’S IMMIGRATION IDEAS ATTACK THE FOUNDATION OF AMERICA

TRUMP’S IMMIGRATION IDEAS ATTACK THE FOUNDATION OF AMERICA By: The Fogle Law Firm, LLC Regardless of one’s views on race and ethnicity in America, it does not change the fact that the very identity of the United States is composed of immigrant histories from all over the planet.  If you are not native American then at some point in the family tree your ancestors were not of this land. Just last week Trump praised Elon Musk for the SpaceX launch of the Falcon Heavy, calling it “American ingenuity at its best.” He tweeted: Congratulations @ElonMusk and @SpaceX on the successful #FalconHeavy [...]
