Always Delivers The Best!

On January 25, 2011, President Barack Obama made his annual State of the Union address. He called on Republicans and Democrats to rebuild America to increase America’s competitiveness.

When talking about education, President Obama said, “Others come here from abroad to study in our colleges and universities.  But as soon as they obtain advanced degrees, we send them back home to compete against us.  It makes no sense.”He asked to stop expelling talented, responsible young people who could be staffing research labs or starting a new business, which would be further enrich America.

In addition, President Obama mentioned that “There are hundreds of thousands of students excelling in our schools who are not American citizens.  Some are the children of undocumented workers, who had nothing to do with the actions of their parents. They grew up as Americans and pledge allegiance to our flag, and yet they live every day with the threat of deportation.”

He again called on Republicans and Democrats to work together to take on, once and for all, the issue of illegal immigration.  He is prepared to work with Republicans and Democrats to protect borders, enforce laws, and address the millions of undocumented workers who are now living in the shadows.

In fact, President Obama discussed immigration reform before. On Thursday, July 1, 2010, he delivered his much anticipated speech on immigration reform at American University. Prefacing the core issues at hand, President Obama began by praising the immigrant population—a group that has been “consequential in building this country . . . [and has] made America the engine of the global economy”. While President Obama did not declare any specific measures during his address, he did acknowledge the need for the comprehensive reform of a “broken immigration system” beginning with the United States’ southern border. According to Obama, there are currently 11 million illegal immigrants living in the United States. Instead of placing blame on such individuals, Obama faults those working on Capitol Hill, citing fear among politicians of tackling such a contentious issue. Obama reasons that these illegal immigrants, despite their intentions of making an honest living, become victims of unscrupulous business practices that ultimately deprive the United States of billions of dollars in tax revenue.

We at Zhang and Associates, P.C. are friends of the immigrant community. In 2007, 2009, and 2010, some of our firm’s attorneys including Jerry Zhang, Joe Zhou, and Bennett Wisniewski scheduled several meetings with U.S. congressmen and senators to discuss employment-based immigration problems, particularly issues surrounding per country limitations. In addition, our lobbying attorneys have diligently fought to implement a system to recapture unused employment based visas not allocated due to USCIS processing delays and  have pushed forth the need to increase the annual H-1B quota. It is our hope that a comprehensive immigration reform bill will be passed later this year.
