Congratulations to John Elledge & Assoc PC's Immigration practitioner, Steve Smith, who yesterday won a vigorously-contested Political Asylum trial in the Arlington Immigration Court on behalf of a Mexican national woman and her teenage son whose husband and father was murdered after being kidnapped for ransom. Steve was able to demonstrate that his client was in grave danger in her area of Mexico where the authorities are unable or unwilling to protect family members of such murder victims, and in fact, among the perpetrators of such crimes are members of the police themselves.
Ironically, Trump May Be Encouraging Immigration and Citizenship
In the run up to the 2008 election, while now President Barack Obama was inspiring supporters with cries of "Yes we can," more than 1 million people became naturalized U.S. citizens. That number dipped significantly in 2012, but this year, immigration advocates are trying to register 1 million new voters ahead of the showdown between Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump.
