		<title>The Fees, The Fees, Where are the Fees (Going Up!)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The surprise announcement of a proposed fee increase at today&#8217;s USCIS stakeholder meeting should take no one by surprise.  USCIS plans to raise filing fees by “generally&#8221; 10% or so across the board, except for Naturalization (which is already at an outrageous $675, but will really now be $680) and Adjustment of Status, which is only going [...]]]></description>

http://blog.uscis.gov/
Besides covering important issues like advanced parole, immigration is now publishing stories about adoptions and recognizing our veterans under their &#8220;wounded warriors&#8221; program.  It is nice to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Don’t bring the Arizona law to North Carolina</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As Arizona implements their new immigration law (A.R.S. 13-1509), making it a federal misdemeanor, punishable by 30 days in jail and/or a $100 fine, for failing to carry one’s &#8220;certificate of alien registration or alien registration receipt card&#8221;, other states have looked to replicate this law, namely North Carolina.

		<title>I HAVE Read the Arizona Law.  And, It Still Stinks!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was at church on Sunday when a fellow parishioner decided to engage me on the Arizona anti-immigration Law.  His main point was this:  ”it is exactly like federal law.”  When I explained to him that it was not actually “exactly” like federal law and that in fact there is no federal law allowing for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Immigration Reform or Immigration Timeout?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tom Tancredo recently wrote an article about his plan to get Immigration under control.  The last, and apparently most important part of his plan, is an immigration moratorium:

Every month our government lets in 75,000 permanent foreign workers via &#8220;green cards&#8221; and 50,000 temporary workers through numerous guest worker programs. That&#8217;s 1.5 million new foreign [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Arizona Law and Immigration Reform</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Much has been written and said about the new Arizona Law pertaining to immigrants (it pertains to everyone actually, and certainly is not limited to undocumented immigrants). From Eugene Robinson and Richard Cohen at the Washington Post, to John Stewart on The Daily Show, and even Tom Tancredo, everyone is up in arms about this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Perception is Reality</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my favorite movie lines is from &#8220;The Princess Bride.&#8221; Vizzini, the mastermind behind the kidnapping of Princess Buttercup, upon seeing the Man in Black pursuing them keeps repeating the word &#8220;inconceivable.&#8221;  Finally, Inigo Montoya, one of  of Vizzini&#8217;s then assistants says:  &#8220;You keep using that word.

		<title>Immigration By The Numbers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday the USCIS released its FY 2009 immigrant visa numbers.  More than a million people legally immigrated to the United States in FY 2009.  Almost 60% of those folks did so through the adjustment of status process, meaning they were already in the U.S. when their place in line was reached.  While [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Supreme Court Recognizes An Old Right for Immigrants!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Supreme Court yesterday issued what can only be considered a seminal decision as it applies to the constitutional rights of all immigrants.  In Padilla v. Kentucky, 555 U. S. ___ (2010), the court expressed, at least in summary, its dismay at the increasing difficulties caused by today’s immigration laws:
