The Battle of the Budget

April 1, 2019 by Lisa Kobayashi

Any conversation in the federal government boils down to one thing—money.  Especially for immigration policy, the current administration wants lots of money.  It wants this money to build a border wall, fund tighter border security, and build new detention facilities.  It seems like the administration is continuously falling back on these points, moving the goalposts […]

Lengthy Processing Times Harm U.S. Families and Businesses

March 8, 2019 by Lisa Kobayashi

In 2014, you could become a U.S. Citizen in less than six months after filing your application to naturalize.  Now, you will have to wait 10 months.  Similarly, those applying for adjustment of status (green card) will have to wait nearly a year, when it took about six months a few years ago.  Across the […]

What if “Immigration” Comes for Me?

February 15, 2019 by Lisa Kobayashi

Many immigrants are anxious and uncertain about their future due to the administration’s tough stance on immigration enforcement.  Today, we will cover your rights. If an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer comes to apprehend you for whatever reason, understanding your rights can empower you and bring some peace of mind. The U.S. Constitution provides […]

Asylum and the Migrant Protection Protocols

February 6, 2019 by Lisa Kobayashi

The Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) is implementing a new set of protocols affecting those seeking entry and asylum at the southern border.  While national attention was focused on the government shutdown, the DHS has quietly announced its intention to put into effect their “Migrant Protection Protocols.”  The protocols are intended to address the perceived […]

The Government Shutdown and Immigration

January 24, 2019 by Lisa Kobayashi

The federal government is currently in the midst of the longest shutdown in U.S. history, and immigration is at the center of the discussion.  The current shutdown began before the start of the New Year, and it has continued for 34 days as of January 24, 2019.  The month-long shutdown stems from congressional disagreement over […]

Immigration in the New Year

January 16, 2019 by Lisa Kobayashi

A new year always brings the promise of resolutions, new changes, and hope for a brighter future.  The year 2018 has ended, and America now finds itself in 2019. We are more than halfway through the current presidential administration, one year before the next presidential election in 2020.  The country is still engaged in many […]

The History and Politics of USCIS

December 19, 2018 by Lisa Kobayashi

Immigration matters are handled at the national level by the country’s oldest and newest departments.  The oldest department dates back to our nation’s founding, while the newest department is still in its teenage years.  The U.S. Department of State, which issues visas to foreign citizens, was created in 1789, two years after the U.S. Constitution […]

Conditions at the Southern Border

December 7, 2018 by Lisa Kobayashi

Though the border with Mexico is not the only international border the U.S. shares with another country, it is certainly the one that gets the most attention.  The border with Mexico stretches nearly 2,000 miles.  Within those 2,000 miles, 48 ports-of-entry stand as two-way crossings for tourism, labor, and billions of dollars in trade.  However, […]

The Success of Military Parole in Place

November 30, 2018 by Lisa Kobayashi

During Thanksgiving, people express gratitude for the blessings in life.  Among the many things we are thankful for are the service and sacrifice of our military members.  Many military members may face the potential for negative events such as deportation of an immediate family member.  This could have a significant impact on the military member’s […]

Politics of the Migrant Caravan

November 21, 2018 by Lisa Kobayashi

For the last few months, the topic of immigration in public discourse has been dominated by discussion surrounding the “migrant caravan.”  These caravans are large groups of immigrants fleeing Central America with the hope of finding safety across the U.S. border.  Commentary on the journey of these migrant caravans started earlier this year and has […]
