excerpt…
From Woonsocket to Westerly, the troopers patrolling the nation’s smallest state are reporting all illegal immigrants they encounter, even on routine stops such as speeding, to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known as ICE.

“There are police chiefs throughout New England who hide from the issue . . . and I’m not hiding from it,’’ said Colonel Brendan P. Doherty, the towering commander of the Rhode Island State Police. “I would feel that I’m derelict in my duties to look the other way.’’

Banker said I should look up the law for myself. So I did. Only I didn’t rely on a summary of the law; I read the actual text of the law.

Section 1433 of Title 8 of the U.S. Code is the relevant law. As in effect between 1952 and 1986 (as today) the law was clear that the residency and age of a parent was relevant ONLY for citizenship of children born outside the U.S., not children born in the U.S. The law cited by Celly doesn’t apply to persons born in the U.S. at all.

The passage repeatedly quoted by Celly and others comes from an immigration law firm web page. Celly and others fail to mention that on that page, it clearly states that the discussion only applies to children born outside the U.S.
Celly–I’m looking at 8 USC section 1401 and it says exactly what I’m saying.

The law by its own terms applies only to persons born outside the United States. It doesn’t not apply to persons born in the United States. Hawaii is a state, and it was a state at the time of Obama’s birth.
Celly–Please stop cutting and pasting blog posts and look at the actual text of the law, including the law you just quoted. It’s very clear. Persons born in the U.S. are U.S. citizens.

If you think the birth certificate is a fake, then you never would be concerned about the INA in the first place, right?

Their cases take a long time — not because the firm is slow, but because the government has a lot of paperwork to process. Often times, our clients are under an installment plan. As a result of this system, we get clients who conveniently forget to make their payments once in a while. So how would you ask a client for money? How can you say “You owe us $$$” without being perceived as insensitive?

Many Questions and Attorney Questions.? http://edfirms.com/8-month-old-in-the-hospital-many-questions-and-attorney-questions http://edfirms.com/8-month-old-in-the-hospital-many-questions-and-attorney-questions#comments Sun, 27 Jun 2010 09:06:01 +0000 Editor http://edfirms.com/8-month-old-in-the-hospital-many-questions-and-attorney-questions My son is 8 months old (born March 2008). When he was 4 days old he got the rota virus. We took him to the hospital while they toyed with him and eventually transferred us to another hospital (a university medical center). He was hook up to a pick line and TPN until the virus cleared and then we started feeding with the bottle. Since then he has always been a small eater so the GI doctors put him on 30 calories per ounce in September 2008. Around late September he just stopped sucking. He would pull the bottle to his mouth and go through the motions, but he was not sucking anything (it was like he forgot what to do in his mouth). In the beginning of October, we took him back to the University Hospital and had him in the ER and they admitted him. They put an NG tube into his nose and in his stomach to feed him. He seemed fine for a few days. The hospital conducted a dy color test to see what was going on. Shorty after he begin throwing up anything that was put into his stomach. The doctors places the NG tube into his colon to stop the vomiting. My Son then begin to have diarrhea. I came to the hospital and saw my son and he did not look right. I ask the doctors was something wrong and they just said he been through a lot so he probably does not feel good. I demanded that someone come in a take his blood and do tests on it. The tests came back and his sodium levels were off the charts! because of the diarrhea probably. Basically, my son was extremely dehydrated. He was pale and looked like death! It was disgusting looking… They had to move my son to ICU and hook him up to IV’s and stop the feeding.

Question 1: How could my son became dehydrated in a hospital, while he was being monitored, unless someone did not do there job?

After a little more then a month in the hospital, the doctors placed a G-Tube (button port) in my son. Now my wife and I can put food directly into his stomach. My son was discharged and we went home. He was fine for about 3 days… then we noticed he was crying a lot more and his stomach was hard as a rock. We took him back to the hospital ER and they did X-Rays and found his colons were packed with poop, air pockets and whatever else. They gave laxatives and sent us home after about 2 days in the hospital. A few days later he began vomiting. He vomited his food every time we gave it to him. Even when we only gave him his medicines, he would throw that up also. We had to go back to the hospital ER again, and again admitted. We have now been in the hospital for a week this time. The doctors are running some acid reflux tests.

I’m concerned about the fact that no one seems to be on the same page – doctors, nurses, assistants.
*For example today: Doctor says, We will be putting the acid tube in your son tomorrow because we have to wait 5 days with no reflux medicines. 30 minutes later another doctor come in and put in the acid tube in my sons throat. I asked about the 5 day thing and she said its okay, it was long enough.
*Another example today: Doctor said, we won’t put him on a 30 ml bolus feeds because we know he threw up last night – I responded back and said he didn’t throw up last night and was never on 30 ml boluses. The doctor told us that the paperwork said so. Did someone just write something in the medical record (that did not happen)?

These examples were just from today. Everyday there’s stuff like this and it makes me feel like it’s a horrible hospital. This hospital is basically top of the line (they say). The only other option is John Hopkins University but they don’t have a beds open and we can’t transfer because my son is considered to be monitored and they would do nothing different. Because of this, I cant even get a second opinion.

I have talked to one attorney and he said that they can not get involved until after the hospital is done. Then, I can contact the law firm about malpractice.

The thing is — I don’t want to sue anyone. I don’t want any money. I would just like the hospital to get on the same page with each other and fix my son. Is there anything else I can do to somehow light a fire up there butt? Are there lawyers out there for this? Should I pursue malpractice for my sons extreme dehydration while he was in the hospital?

I know this is a lot of questions. Thanks to all that reply.

Seriously…like I don’t mean to like stereotype here or anything but I find this to be very true.

I’m currently working towards getting into Law school and just this past Winter I had an opportunity to intern with a Law firm in downtown Chicago for Medical Malpractice Lawyers. Several of the people I got to meet there were well established successful men: lawyers, Doctors, magistrates, physicians, businessmen, etc. I got to meet up several of them and ask them questions. AND most these guys were like in their 40s to 60s.

However what blew me away was, I swear my life to you, that the MAJORITY of these men (like I’m talking about 80% here) were all married (or dating) very and I MEAN very young & attractive women in their 20s. No joke! And these guys aren’t attractive looking at all! I mean They’re smart and successful but they are most certainly not the dating type…

Hell I even got to meet an 75 year old college professor who was married to a beautiful 29 year old Latina woman. And I’m not even kidding here! I swear my life on it!

I mean seriously can someone please help me understand why else these young women would marry/date these successful men beside of their money??

They are the type of company which charges people for doing the immigration paperwork for them. We have sent these people a first deposit, but then realized that the paperwork was so easy to do ourselves that we just did that and cancelled our agreement with the company. Now they insist we have to pay the entire sum they would have charged us for the paperwork, even though we, not they, did it, and even though we cancelled the contract. Is this legal? Can they legally do that, or are they having a laugh?

I was a journalism/advertising major in undergradute. I went to a good state school in the Midwest and graduated in the top 1/3rd. I learned a great deal about writing, branding, marketing, sales and design (among other things).

However, I decided I wanted to go to law school. I went to another good school in the midwest and finished in the middle of my class. I then moved to California and took the bar and passed on the first try.

My legal experiences include: clerking for a year for a state civil law judge, interning for a British criminal law barrister, clerking for a medical malpractice defense firm, and working as a legal contract temp attorney on class action and patent cases.

My other talents include photography, writing, and doing just about anything on a computer.

So my question is, what advice do you have for potential careers, both traditional and non-traditional?

All suggestions are welcome

    What do you think of the billboard? What about the attorney’s excuses to justify the billboard? Is it really about the married person’s happiness or just money?
    Yeah HarryMay, there’s nothing quite as funny as divorce. What’s even more funny is the affect it has on children….

I am working on my French fluency and am also studying Chinese. What is the best field? I am not particularly interested in Public International Law, but am interested in International Business Law. I am not interested in living abroad or travelling every week of the year, but more of something where I would travel once in a while to other countries to negotiate deals,etc. Do most firms have lawyers who specialize in dealings abroad, and would they actually use languages?

My attorney and I have tried to negotiate with them time and again, but they refuse to accept a smaller payment. (I realize that I accidentally broke a lease, and I probably owe them $750 plus a little interest, but they are demanding almost $4500, and are being very hard-nosed about it!) I offered them $1500 to settle, or I’d declare bankruptcy on them. They flat-out rejected it.

    I believe very strongly in paying my legitimate bills, conscientiously, but not to lying, thieving scoundrels.

    Any ideas and suggestions will be very welcome.
    I was told (verbally) when I left the apartment that everything was fine, and paid for. I didn’t hear from them until 2 years later, with a collection notice. (The verbal ok wasn’t worth the paper it was written on.)
    Yes. They have won a judgement against me, but it was served on my brother while I was out of town.
