You know that feeling you get when you hand deliver a green card to someone who, after 24 years of them trying to legalize their status, you are able to make it happen and then they are literally crying because they will finally be able to see their family after all of this time??? I'm guessing most of you don't...but let me tell you-it's pretty cool!

You know that feeling you get when a family you helped obtain asylum and then permanent residence (green cards) are then sworn-in as US citizens??? Well, I'm guessing most of you don't...but let me tell you - it's pretty cool!

Just sayin...If he were brown or black, and spoke Spanish or Arabic this guy would be detained by ICE and removed from the country in a heart beat. In fact, it would have happened months ago following his last arrest. https://www.cnn.com//11/us/conor-mcgregor-arres/index.html

Just wondering...if there is such a crisis at the southern border that can only be fixed by a border wall, then why was it not funded and pushed through when the GOP controlled the House, Senate and WH for the past two years? And, if it is a new crisis, doesn't that mean it developed under the GOP's watch and control? Increased border security is absolutely a priority and should be funded but not as a political ploy; rather, as part of larger comprehensive immigration refor...m. And, imo, the best expenditure of US funds to stem the flow of migrants from Central America is increased foreign aid and assistance to stabilize economies, root out corruption and crime and provide hope and a bright future for citizens of those countries. I have many clients who would've happily remained in their own homes on their own land were it safe to do so. Spend billions of dollars on that - instead of an ineffective wall - and see what that gets you.

A few thoughts on today's turn of events: 1. Wasn't there just a story here on Long Island about some insecure, attention-seeking firefighter who intentionally started a huge fire and caused immeasurable, unnecessary harm for the sole purpose of being able to put out said fire to look like a hero? Sounds familiar. He's going to jail, but I guess when you are POTUS you can do the same and your flock will cheer and celebrate. 2. If the family separations were caused by the ...Democrats, as POTUS claimed, then how come he was able to end it with the stroke of a pen? 3. Do not think this is a true victory for common decency. The order states that parents and children will now be jailed together. How generous. How about reverting to the prior policy, that worked, of choosing not to detain non-violent, asylum-seeking families but rather release them on bond and with monitoring for them to pursue their claims?

Encouraging news.

This guy better get himself an immigration attorney that can advise him and his criminal defense attorney. I don't think he is a USC (according to wikipedia) and these charges can have serious consequences on his ability to remain in or return to the US. Just sayin'.
