Comment: Lozada Claim Presents Second Chance

The Seattle Times reports "An illegal immigrant who lived in
Washington for 17 years before being deported to Mexico three
years ago may have the rare chance to come back for an
immigration hearing after an appeals board, citing ineffective
legal counsel, ordered her case reopened." For the full story,
see here.

Nice, and thanks for sharing this info with us.Good Luck!

[Roger Algase, Attorney at Law]

As one of the "liberals. amnesty advocates and time wasting bloggers" whom Emmanuel Tipon, Esq.'s letter in a recent ID issue apparently meant to refer to (his letter objected to certain "irrelevant" articles only, but I assume that this also included any letters that Mr. Tipon's letter might disagree with), I respect everyone's right to express his or her views about about what kind of material is useful reading for ID readers.

I would only ask Mr Tipon to extend the same courtesy and consideration to others with different views from his own.
