Good Vs Bad Immigrants

Even though I am a pro-immigrant attorney, I’m willing to admit that some immigrants commit bad acts.

It bothers me, as a matter of policy, when colleagues portray immigrants as quasi-angels.

Such an approach harms immigrants in the long run.

Like U.S. citizens, most immigrants are good, honest, hard-working people.

Unfortunately, not all.

However, immigrant opponents commit a bigger wrong when they try to claim the majority of newcomers are criminals, thieves, and violent individuals.
