No law is enforced 100%.

It’s not helpful, necessary, or sane to enforce immigration law 100%.

But if we must have 100% enforcement, how about of these laws instead?

antitrust laws
discrimination laws
ethics laws
pollution laws
tax laws
traffic laws

A have several millionaire friends.
And at least one billionaire classmate.
Most of whom have been conspicuously silent since inauguration day.

Don’t be silent. Be this guy:

The Trump administration is demonstrably on the wrong side of history on just about every issue it has touched. But I alone do not have to judge Trump and his ilk. History will be his judge, and he will certainly be both a bottom quartile POTUS and the worst in my lifetime (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_rankings_of_presidents_of_the_United_States).

As to what is right and what is wrong. I submit that it is quite easy to tell. Just ask your mother. As it says on the home page of the Clocktower Law website, “We do not, however, represent patent trolls, trademark bullies, or cybersquatters.” When representing clients, it is easy to tell the good apples from the bad eggs.

I am reminded of the Valediction of Professor Gregory, whose influence on my life is reflected in how I run my firm, and who said, “Look at reality with a cold, hard, steely-eyed gaze. Lawyers get bad reputations by distorting reality. If you feel yourself losing sight of reality, fear not. I have the solution: Ask you mother.”

Vigilance, my friends.

Friends-

Again, be vigilant about the words used.

We don’t call every speeder an “illegal driver,” but we call immigrants with any status violation “illegal aliens” (no matter how minor and nonviolent the violation). If their only “crime” is a “status” violation, then that should NOT be grounds for deportation. Unless we also jail all speeders. Most non-citizens are trying to simply keep their families together and work.

A better word for “illegal aliens” is “non-citizen American workers.”

Also be vigilant about the non-speaking policy czars. These include chief strategist Steve Bannon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Bannon) and chief of staff Reince Priebus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reince_Priebus). These people avoid TV appearances for a reason.

Words matter.

Here’s an immigration law firm that gets it:
