It's an interesting time to be an American. For us
immigration lawyers, the tumultuous political climate adds further
complexity.
From the nonstop coverage of the southern border, you might
think that helping new arrivals fills our days. However, as
immigration lawyers who work with scientists, startup founders,
international students and researchers, we see a very different
side to the immigration system.
You may also believe that immigration laws are changing rapidly.
Not so. Congress has not reformed our legal immigration system
since 1990. While the law hasn't changed, immigration policy
has, and often seesaws from one administration to the next.
Immigration law and policy will be key issues in the
presidential campaign this fall.
