Delia de la Garza's Legal Blog

Dear fellow blog readers, I began writing this blog just a short time ago, and at first I was hoping noone would read my blogs, but then I wrote about some issues that I really care about.  All of the articles I have written have been mostly about immigration in some shape or form, and since I mostly practice immigration law, that’s what I am most interested in.  I have to keep up with all the latest news, good or bad so that I am prepared for the next online inquiry or call I get from a current or prespective client.  I really never thought I would practice immigration law.  Like others, I did not think there was anything I could do.  All the news sounds so hopeless, i.e. if you are here undocumented, good luck, basically, just bear down and try not to get arrested by ICE, because otherwise, you are screwed, they will just deport you.  But, it’s not that simple.  (Although, some people wish it was.)  Thankfully there are some remedies that are available to those out of status, whether it may be an affirmative filing or a defensive filing in removal proceedings, there is some light at the end of the tunnel.  And that light is what brings me the most joy to bring to someone.  That’s not exactly the reason I got into immigration, but it quickly became my inspiration.  I hope that the issues have been as interesting to you as they have been to me, obviously, I would not waste my time writing them.  So, I would appreciate your comments.  Thanks!
