Philadelphia immigrants afraid to report crimes

The mission of the Philadelphia Police Department (PPD) is to fight crime, prevent crime from occurring, and improve the quality of life for all Philadelphians. That sounds great in theory, but in practice, the PPD need witnesses to help them prosecute criminals in Philadelphia and with the implementation of the Secure Communities Program (SCP), more and more people in Philadelphia are refusing to step up to the plate to be a witness or cooperate with the PPD for fear of deportation.

2. Marry your fiancé in the US and submit paperwork in the US. The process is easier and you and your loved one get to stay together.
3. Foreign born persons that enter the US legally may apply to adjust status without leaving US.

Complete novice looking for a fiddling instructor

I am a complete novice (at 34) to the fiddle/violin, however I am able to read music. Thanks.

Irish Immigrant’s Legal Handbook

I point this out because I am very familiar with the challenges associated with immigrating to America.

For the past few years I have been tinkering around with the idea of creating an “Irish Immigrant’s Legal Handbook,” which would include basic, yet vital legal information pertaining to Immigration Law, Criminal Law, Real Estate Law, Landlord Tenant Law, Civil Procedure, Constitutional Law and… Continue
