Amnesty Update with Immigration Expert Philip Kleiner Posted: March 18th, 2008 By: Zach Heller Category: CLE Programming, Employment Law, Lawyer Profiles, Opinion Corner, Videos
Being that this is an election year, of course immigration is going to be a hot topic of discussion. The different candidates all have something to say on the subject of immigration, and it is hard to tell what is going to happen when the next President takes office. According to some reports, there are as many as 20 million immigrants living in the US illegally right now. That will have to be addressed in some way, whether it is allowing those who are already here to stay and closing down our borders, or enforcing stricter deportation policies.
Recently, we asked Phil Kleiner, our resident expert on immigration laws, to talk about the issue. He discussed the many possible scenarios that might play out in the next year or so with regards to this problem. Below, you can find a short video clip from the discussion. Phil Kleiner is a Lawline.com faculty member, specializing in immigration. His most recent CLE program, Permanent Residency and Employment Based Immigration, can be found in our course catalog.
