Border Patrol agents say about 200 people came through the […]
Scott D. Mills the-Immigration-Lawyer.com As Congress takes a vacation on immigration reform, pressure grows on President Obama to do more. The power of the Executive branch is great – we have already seen Obama give us DACA with the stroke of a pen – and also seen the lawsuit to dismiss that program tossed […]
A US district court in Texas today dismissed Kris Kobach’s lawsuit against the deferred action (DACA) program which has for almost a year now granted DREAMers temporary relief from deportation. This is great news for DREAMers. This program has offered great opportunities to many young undocumented immigrants. It would have been a shame to take that away […]

A liberal mayor and business leaders often face off, but when the answer is this obvious, they often have to agree. Hopefully the US House feels the pressure from leaders nationwide supporting immigration reform. We applaud Mayor Charlie Hales and the business leaders of Portland for supporting reform, and feeling the need for change that […]
It took a Supreme Court ruling on DOMA, but the Federal government is now following the same standards that already require States to honor Same-Sex marriages from other states. We have long required the States to honor marriages from other states, even if that is a married same sex couple from Massachusetts that moves to […]
