What Problems Do Immigrants Face? 5 Top Problems on the Road to Immigration and Naturalization
The term “immigrant” gets tossed around a lot these days – it feels like more than ever since the Trump administration came to power. I tweet 3 to 5 new immigration articles daily, or it seems that way… In the US, however, most of us are immigrants in one way or another. It just depends on how many generations you go back. Immigrants have frequently experienced difficulties in trying to go to another country. Many are fleeing wars, or persecution at home and have already faced untold hardships before they even hit our shores. But what happens when they get here? What is the process like once they are trying to get their green card or naturalization in the US?

Executive Order on Immigration: Top 7 Myths
Executive order – It’s been five weeks since President Obama spoke to the Nation on Immigration Action. In that short time, law firms all over America which exclusively handle immigration matters have been flooded with calls, emails and in person consultations.
Most people want to know about expanded Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and Deferred Action for Parents (DAPA). We have been doing our best to educate the folks who contact us on the executive order. And in these communications we have already done our best to separate truth from rumor.
Executive Action: 10 Things You Must Know
President Obama’s November 20, 2014 Executive Action Announcement Brought with It Ten Main Points
Executive Order on Immigration: 7 Things to Know
An executive order is not an uncommon thing. Teddy Roosevelt issued more than 1000. FDR owns the record with 3500-plus. Both Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton neared 400 apiece. Clinton even entered the war in Kosovo by executive order 15 years ago. Now President Obama reportedly will issue an executive order on immigration in September. I have never been shy about criticizing the Deporter in Chief. He had the majority of votes needed to push for immigration reform early on but failed to promote that agenda.

Immigration Policy by Obama Inconsistent: Review
Last week the latest immigration policy news went public that President Obama is likely to enlarge the number of undocumented immigrants eligible for protection from deportation.
Illegal Immigration: Not Just a Modern or American Phenomenon
In the United States there has always been much controversy about “illegal immigration.” I have never been as offended by the language as some commentators and advocates. To me, it is just a term that reflects a part of American history. Hardly a new topic, the plight of the undocumented foreign national has been perpetually in the public eye. In our nation’s past, the original British colonists shunned the Germans. Then the Asians in the 19th century, punished by the infamous Chinese Exclusion Act. Later prejudice followed against Irish, Italian and Jewish immigrants in the early 20th century.
DACA Renewal in 2014 vs. DACA 2012 – What You Need To Know Now
On April 9, 2014, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services FINALLY announced the proposed renewal program for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA renewal).

Why We Love Immigrants (and You Should, Too!)
Everybody comes from somewhere. The people who arrive first make the rules. Immigrants who enter afterwards are subjected to restrictions and being deemed “illegal.”
Immigration Reform vs. Immigration Reality
For one, I would like to be an optimist about immigration reform. I really wish that immigration reform would pass already. We have been waiting since Section 245 (i) left the Immigration and Nationality Act on April 30, 2001. Gone are the days when immigrants paid a $1000 penalty in their green card applications through work and family as a trade-off for crossing the border.
Everything You Need To Know About Filipino TPS
Many Filipino associations and American politicians have requested that the President designate Filipinos for TPS.

Immigrants receiving TPS are few and far between.
