Los mexicanos pueden solicitar asilo político debido a la violenta guerra de los carteles de droga
Muchas personas del país de México se fugan hacia los Estados Unidos pidiendo asilo debido a los
carteles de la droga que luchan por el control de la región fronteriza.
Durante muchos años, los mexicanos que solían solicitar asilo era negado debido a la democracia
pacífica y estable del país mexicano. Pero ahora todo está cambiando.
En la última semana, no menos de 30 mexicanos de la ciudad de El Porvenir se paseó sobre el
paso fronterizo puesto en Fort Hancock, Texas, y pidieron asilo. Normalmente, su demanda
hubiera sido rechazada y hubieran sido regresados a su país. Pero por otra parte, fueron llevados
a El Paso, donde ellos esperan que sus casos sean escuchados, y ya que sus casos fueron fuertes y
razonables, fue muy probable que se les concediera asilo.
En El Porvenir, uno de los carteles ordeno a todos los residentes de la ciudad de 10,000 personas
a abandonar la ciudad en el próximo mes. Se metieron a la pequena ciudad y plasmaron en la
plaza un cartel diciendo a todos los residentes que salieran de la ciudad o la muerte tendría que
hacer frente, dijo Mike Doyle, el comisario jefe adjunto de Condado de Hudspeth, Texas.
Mexican Citizens Can Seek Political Asylum Due to Violent Drug Wars
Many people are fleeting from their country Mexico and into United States asking for asylum
due to the drug cartels battling for control of the key border crossing.
For many years, Mexicans seeking asylum was denied due to the peaceful and stable democracy
the Mexican country had. But everything is taking a turn-over and things are changing.
In the past week, no less than 30 Mexicans from the town of El Porvenir sauntered over the
border crossing post at For Hancock, Texas, and demanded asylum. Normally, their demand
would have been denied as unreasonable, and they would be turned back. Alternatively, they
were taken to El Paso, where their cases were expected to be heard, and since their cases are
strong and reasonable, they are much likely to be granted with asylum.
Delitos graves en Inmigración
¿Qqué es lo que se considera como un delito grave de inmigración en los Estados Unidos? En 1988, cuando el tema de delitos graves se incorporó al Servicio de Inmigración y Nacionalidad (INA), un delito agravante se consideraba y era equparable a los delitos de asesinato o tráfico de drogas, pero el Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 (AEDPA) y el Reforma de Inmigración Ilegal y Responsabilidad del Inmigrante de 1996 (IIRAIRA) amplificaron los crímenes a una posición mas severa. Hoy día un elito grave es el causado por violencia, robo, tráfico ilegal, fraude, contrabando, asesinato, violación ya bien a un menor o un adulto y el intento o conspiración para cometer un delito con agravante.
En primer lugar, cuando uno está condenado por un delito grave, el gobierno debe probar que él o ella es culpable. El juez de la corte determinará si el individuo es culpable o no y podrá condenarlo por el delito.
Sin embargo, si la condena no es definitiva, no se requerirá que la persona sea enviada a prisión. Si la sentencia es definitiva y el daño se considera uno de los delitos graves oficiales, el individuo será enviado a la cárcel por un año o menos. Si es por menos de un año, entonces ese acontecimiento no se cosiderará como un delito con agravante.
Asilo Defensivo con EOIR
Cuando el acceso de asilo afirmativo haya sido negado no es justo para muchas personas. En este caso,
el solicitante puede defender su posición mediante la aplicación de asilo defensivo con la EOIR.
La tramitación del asilo defensivo consiste en estar en el proceso de deportación y ser examinado por un
Juez de Inmigración. El individuo solicita asilo defensivo contra la expulsión de los Estados Unidos.
El solicitante normalmente es enumerado en el procesamiento de asilo en una de dos formas. Ya sea
que un Juez de Inmigración no le permitió asilo ó lo han enlistado en el proceso de deportación por no
tener los documentos requeridos para residir en los Estados Unidos.
Asilo Afirmativo con el USCIS
Una de las muchas cosas en las que los abogados tienen experiencia, es en el proceso de otorgar asilo al
solicitante que está experimentando el dilema de prosecución de su propio país. Estos solicitantes
huyen de su país y llegan a otro buscando asilo para ser protegido. Normalmente, todos los solicitantes
a pesar de su estatus de inmigración están autorizados a solicitar asilo.
Existen dos formas de solicitar asilo en los Estados Unidos. Una de ellas es a través del proceso
afirmativo y otra es a través del proceso defensivo. El tipo de asilo establecerá dónde y cómo se va a
presentar la solicitud de cierto individuo.
El individuo tiene que solicitar asilo afirmativo en el plazo de un año de la fecha en cuando el individuo
llego. Si el individuo tarda más de un año, es posible que problemas surgan y no pueda recibir asilo, a
menos que el individuo haya pasado por circunstancias extraordinarias que afectaron su elegibilidad
para el asilo.
Most common Immigration myths
Immigration myths
As in any area of law, there are always myths or beliefs about what rights people have. Different lawyers have given us what they calls the five myths about immigration. In other words, beliefs that people have about immigration law that may adversely affect their chance of reaching the residence, or citizenship in the United States.
The 245 (i) is an amnesty
Section 245 (i) of the Immigration Act is a temporary law section, which is not available at this time and that allows people with an immigrant visa available (either through family or work) paying a fine of $ 1,000.00 to receive his residence in the United States without having to leave the country. If the person has been in the country for over a year illegally and out, will be subject to a fine of not returning for 10 years.
Notaries can not speak on immigration issues
The need for low-cost legal assistance
The need for low-cost legal assistance has made use of consultants flourish without much knowledge of immigration laws, which often do nothing but pave the way for the deportation of their clients, according to authorities.
Therefore proliferate in the United States laws that seek to prevent unqualified persons providing legal advice to immigrants.
Fifteen states have laws prohibiting the operation of "on immigration consultants" and notaries – as defined in Spanish of the term – non-lawyers and six others, including Washington, are working on similar legislation, according to the Conference National State Legislatures.
Washington has many experiences of immigrants ill-advised.

Who Is Eligible for Asylum or Refugee Status
Asylum and refugee status are special legal protections available to people who have left their home country for their own safety and are afraid to return.
What's the difference between the asylum and refugee status under U.S. immigration laws — that is, who should seek asylum status, and who should seek refugee status? It's simply a matter of where you are when you apply. People outside of the United States must apply for refugee status. People who have already made it to the United States border or the interior (perhaps by using a visa or by entering illegally) can apply for asylum status.
Once granted, both statuses allow you to stay in the United States indefinitely. Asylees and refugees are given permission to work and are allowed to apply for a green card (within one year of either entering the United States as a refugee or being approved for asylum).
Green Card Application Filing, How to
You can apply for a green card after a visa petition filed for you by a relative, fiancé, or employer has been approved and you've waited until a green card ("immigrant visa") is available. (Exception: Refugees and political asylees don't need visa petitions; they can apply for a green card after one year of gaining their status.) If you're not sure what a visa petition is or whether you needed one, see the article The Visa Petition: First Step for Family and Employment Green Cards.
Now it's time to figure out where to apply for your green card. While most green card applications must be made at U.S. embassies and consulates abroad, many people would prefer to file paperwork while inside the United States, with the agency known as U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). That's often because they are either already living in the U.S. or they want to join their family or start their new job there as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the choice is not always the immigrant's to make.
How to Apply for U.S. Citizenship
U.S. citizenship gives a person as many rights as the U.S. has to offer; for example, the right to vote, petition for family members to immigrate, and live abroad without losing your right to return. For these reasons, citizenship is not easily obtained.
To become a U.S. citizen, you must first have a green card (permanent residence) and then meet other requirements, listed below. There are only a few rare exceptions in which a person goes straight from having no U.S. status to getting U.S. citizenship; some are discussed in Nolo's article U.S. Citizenship by Birth or Through Parents.
