Obama to send 1,200 troops to U.S.- Mexico border
Who would have thought that eighteen months into the Obama Presidency that the administration's first tangible move on immigration would be to militarize the southern border.
Truth truly is stranger than fiction.

Under Obama Number of Pending Deportations Reach an All-Time High
Obama's 1,000 deportations per day mandate is being felt in our Nation's immigration Courts.
Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC), a data gathering, data research and data distribution organization at Syracuse University, has reported that at the end of March 2010 there are 242,776 unresolved immigration court cases, a new all-time high.
An analysis of the data reveals that the immigration court backlog is growing by 6.3 percent since TRAC’s last report at the end of 2009. This number is 30.4% higher than it was 18 months ago prior to Obama's election.
The added pressure on our immigration courts has resulted in the increase of the average length of time an individual must wait to have their matter resolved to up to 443 days.
Is this the Change you believed in?

Previous Deportation Order Overcome, Client Issued New Visa
We were just able to obtain the approval of an application for consent to reapply for admission after deportation (Form I-212) on behalf of our client, a Citizen of Austria. Our client required the application because she was inadmissible to the United States as a result of the entry of an expedited removal order under INA §235(b)(1)(A)(i).
The expedited removal order was entered by Customs and Border Protection at the Highgate Springs, Vermont Port of Entry last September. As a result of the order our client was ineligible to return to the United States for a period of five years.
Subsequent to the entry of the order our client was admitted to Harvard University and retained us for the purpose of attacking the underlying removal order to enable her to attend classes for the fall 2010 semester. We submitted the application for permission to reapply for admission with the Embassy of the United States in London England, together with a student visa application, and a comprehensive legal brief establishing both her eligibility and the grounds that merited a favorable exercise of discretion. We filed with London because our client is currently residing there pursuant to her employment with Oxford University.
The application for permission to reapply was approved on the same day as our client’s visa interview, and her student visa (F-1) was issued a few days later. She may now enter the United States to attend classes at Harvard University this August. We wish her luck!
