Today's #ImmigrationTip is something I find myself saying multiple times a day.

Don't wait to find a solution to your immigration problem. The laws we use to help you are being attacked and we can't guarantee they will be around.

I'll give two examples.
We represent a woman who was brutally abused by her partner. When we got the case, it was a slam dunk asylum claim under Matter of A-R-C-G-, 26 I&N Dec. 388 (BIA 2014).

Sessions vacated that decision in Matter of A-B-, 27 I&N Dec. 316 (A.G. 2018). Now her case is much weaker.
Today I talked to a TPS holder married to a US citizen. The law in the 6th and 9th circuits allows him to file directly for a green card. Otherwise, he has to risk leaving and coming back in with a travel document. But there is a way - the clients just didn't know it.
So who knows how long there will be a way. File now, before it's too late.

I've spent 15 years fighting for the rights of aspiring Americans, 12 of those years right here in northern Virginia.

I've been asked, "What's an immigration lawyer doing running for the state house when it's more of a federal issue?"
My response: because much of what my clients have to deal with are state laws. Laws like getting a driver's license. Or send their kids to school. Or not having to constantly look over their shoulder, dodging deportation land mines placed in unavoidable aspects of everyday life.
American children wondering whether their parents will be gone without warning when they get home from school. Sure, immigration laws originate 30 miles away in Washington. But the effect comes through Richmond.

#Christmas is a day of remembrance and strengthening family bonds. The border wall behind me cuts those bonds. It disintegrates families seeking inalienable dignity.

It is a monument to bigotry, a piece of physical xenophobia.
The picture is from my trip to Tijuana in August when I spent a few days advising asylum seekers. I am standing on the Mexican side, but technically inside the US.

Here, hope and despair run feverishly as two turbulent rivers, each vying for victory in these roaring rapids.
Tonight, entire families hunker down in a tent city not a hundred yards from where this picture was taken, their futures deliberately made cruelly uncertain, and still our government throws up more walls of bureaucracy designed to break the spirit under a huge "closed" sign.

I am proud of our Virginia Attorney General @MarkHerringVA for joining in an 18-state effort to safeguard access to healthcare following the deplorable December 14 decision to invalidate the ACA.

ideastations.org/radio/news/her…
The merits of that decision will eventually percolate through the court system, but more troubling is that *no one knows* for sure what effect it has on existing enrollment. And it came out mere hours before the open enrollment period ended.
This is unacceptable. There is a right to be healthy, and government attempts to shirk that obligation are both shameful and misguided. Adding mass confusion to the exercise of people's rights to access that healthcare is even more noxious.

1/ Applying this idea to WhatsApp, it would mean that—upon receiving a court order—the company would be required to convert a 1-on-1 conversation into a group chat, with the government as the third member of the chat. But that’s not all.
2/ In WhatsApp’s UX, users can verify the security of a conversation by comparing “security codes” within the app. So for the ghost to work, there would have to be a way of forcing both users’ clients to lie to them by showing a falsified security code, ...

When the #NSA discovered that #Iran may have been buying computer chips from the #UnitedStates routing them through a U.S. ally
&
Potentially supplying them to detonate #bombs against U.S. forces in Iraq & #Afghanistan
It credited so-called economic intelligence with the find.
The solution wasn't a death blow delivered by the #military but rather a new regulation on the export of certain #technologies via the #CommerceDepartment which the #NSA said would end up “saving #American & coalition lives.”

difficult idea #1: with most high-skill activities, the doing, the knowing, the saying, the hearing, and the learning are all dramatically different things.
that's pretty pithy, so i better unpack it a little. let's take one of my high-skill activities and break it out as suggested by the headline.
i routinely, multiple times a day, walk to the nearest outside place, my upstairs deck when i'm working at home, light up a cigarette, smoke it, drink from a bottle of soda, and pace around intently, and i do it with little or no awareness.

Many people think that “illegal immigrants” are the scourge of this country, and are a very hot topic in the political world. Let’s dispel any myths and misunderstandings on this subject once and for all.
#Immigration #ImmigrationReform
Read, RT, LEARN! 😁🧠
The first item I’d like to point out, is that a better term we should use would be undocumented immigrant. “Illegal alien” creates and perpetuates the stigma that these people are inherently bad, or criminal. The reality is that they are just seeking a better life.
Probably the biggest misunderstanding is that everyone should simply just immigrate legally, when in reality there’s nothing simple about it. There are very specific and restrictive criteria one must meet in order to immigrate to the U.S. legally.

Shane is fangirling about meeting Rebekah and Kol, the Original vampires, and bragging about not being able to be compelled. Then Bex tells Kol to beat the location of the cure out of him. Lol. Imagine meeting your idols and they beat the shit out of you.
Back to this. "Truth or dare, Elena?"
"Dare." Damn that's brave.
"I dare you to tell Stefan the truth about Damon."
Sweetie, that's truth not dare, but I am here for this.
"Seriously?!" Caroline being there for Stefan again.
Bex is being really childish though
"Being with Damon makes me happy." HSHDFLK YES IT DOES.
"Makes you happy? Clowns make you happy Elena. Dig a little deeper."
Actually, clowns do quite the opposite of making me happy, but to each their own Rebekah. 🙈
