Thanks Rachel for exposing corruption within the most corrupt special interest group of them all, or at least one out of fifty of them. This demonstrates to me that you have principles and ethics that outweigh greed, a true rarity among lawyers, but also cause for disbarment. If only ethics and justice were half as important as greed among Bar Associations, America would quickly be a much better place, and our kangaroo courts wouldn’t be the joke that they have become.

I’ll believe a politician is sincere about taking on the special interest groups when he/she puts the Bar Associations at the top of the list, otherwise it’s more of the same or worse, i.e. “decisions” and “rulings” and “orders” based on money for lawyers.

Though I’m not familiar with just how corrupt immigration law has become, I’m painfully aware of how corrupt the biggest cash cow, family law, has become, and what terrible harm it has wrought upon children including my own, just so some of the sleaziest among us can bill hundreds of dollars per hour in the perpetuation of the big sham nowadays passed off as “justice”.

Follow the money.
There must be some reason these lawyers are battling to keep keep the status quo (i.e. the way things were b4 prop 100). ALL these lawyers can’t have illegal immigrant nannys/groundskeepers.

Lawyers are basically mercenary’s. They never get off their ass unless there is money in it for them. They have to be making money off these illegals somehow.
I wouldn’t doubt if it’s something very similar to what my friend went through in New Jersey.

Plus, I just donâ€™t think that many illegal immigrants come from Albania (or any other European country.)

I left out that very important qualifier.

Uh, jackal? That may be what happens with Albanian immigrants, but I just don’t see many lawyer ads in Spanish. Plus, I just don’t think that many come from Albania (or any other European country.)

P.S. I think you’re wrong about lawyers – it’s higher than 99%.

These lawyers make bucket-loads off fee’s collected by legal immigrants who pay lawyers to try and fix things for hard-working (and otherwise law-abiding) illegals. This practice can also include those who forget to renew their green-cards.

I recently had a friend go through this in New Jersey. He is of Albanian descent and his (then) fiancee was born in Albania. Well, apparently she forgot to renew her green-card.

Both her parents are U.S. citizens, and she has no criminal record, and even has several credit cards and a car payment. Docile hardworking immigrants are the ONLY ones caught up in these sweeps! Why? They’re trackable. Criminals are invisible.

Additionally my friend told the judge if they deport her he would simply join her in Albania marry her & bring her back.

This is simply a system of distortion. Firstly, the process is dragged out to give the victim’s family a lot of time to try to snag an attorney. Second, it’s hinted at (especially by attorneys) that the system is recoverable, that she/he can be released from prison and simply have her green card renewed.

My friend said he was lucky in that he only spent $500 on a lawyer. This guy said many families spend tens of thousands of dollars.
After about 120 days in prison they deported her.

And he did exactly what he said, he went to Albania, married her and brought her back.

It’s obvious why lawyers would rather have THIS system in place.

99% of lawyers are scumbags.
