Musings on Immigration

Mucho se ha dicho acerca de las declaraciones del candidato Trump acerca de los inmigrantes, los "mexicanos", y "la pared." Muchas personas, especialmente los inmigrantes recientes y aquellos que saben de ellos, han tenido una reacción visceral sobre esas declaraciones y consideran a Trump "anti-inmigrante" no apto para dirigir una nación de inmigrantes. Pero tengo que decirle, que estas declaraciones nativistas no son la razón por la que una Presidencia de Trump destruiría la inmigración en América. Hay otra razón; la causa primordial de la marcha de Trump hacia una América amurallada, aislada del resto del trabajo, centrada en sí mismos, y limitante en la integración y el crecimiento—Es el senador Jeff Sessions. Correcto. El senador Jeff Sessions, el primer senador en saltar a bordo del expreso Trump. Pregúntese, por qué el puesto de senador de los EEUU, con tanto que perder, llega a ser acogedor,en tan corto tiempo para un candidato en las primaria...

We welcome today’s announcement by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) which released the “International Entrepreneur Rule”. This is a proposal of a new rule which will allow certain international entrepreneurs to be considered for temporary permission to enter the United States (parole). This proposed rule has significant implications, not only for the thousands of potential entrepreneurs who may not ordinarily consider investing in the United States, particularly if unable to obtain a visa in the first place, but for our economy. USCIS acknowledged the benefits America has enjoyed in today’s proposal. “America’s economy has long  benefited  from the contributions of immigrant entrepreneurs, from Main Street to Silicon Valley,” said Director León Rodríguez. “This proposed rule, when finalized, will help our economy grow by expanding immigration options for foreign entrepreneurs who meet certain criteria for creating jobs, attracting investment and generat...

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced on July 29 a final rule to expand the provisional waiver process to individuals who meet the statutory requirements for immigrant visas, and whose family members are lawful permanent residents or U.S. citizens. According to USCIS , the purpose of the provisional waiver process is to encourage family unity. It enhances administrative efficiency and makes it easier for eligible individuals to complete immigration processing while they are abroad and away from their families. The final rule is an extension of a process that was established in 2013 to encourage family unity. It allowed eligible relatives of U.S. citizens to apply for provisional waivers of the unlawful presence grounds of inadmissibility, provided that the applicants’ U.S. citizen relatives would suffer extreme hardship if the waiver was denied.

A medida que los inmigrantes pasan por el largo viaje de obtener un estatus legal en los Estados Unidos, van a llenar  formularios innumerables, cuestionarios, solicitudes y peticiones.

As immigrants go through the long journey of obtaining legal status in the United States, they will fill out innumerous forms, questionnaires, applications, and petitions. Immigrants will go through interviews and even court hearings. At all times, all of the information an immigrant presents must be true and correct. The law states that during any part of the process, if an immigrant lies, falsifies a document, or presents knowingly incorrect information to procure a visa or other documentation, admission into the United States, or any other benefit, he or she will be ineligible for lawful status in the United States. In other words, any type of fraud, whether it’s lying about a date or using fake document, in the process of getting visa or other documentation, admission into the United States, or any other benefit, will make the immigrant ineligible for lawful status. Sometimes immigration grants a visa or lawful permanent residency without knowing that the immigrant committed f...
