Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, while America waits for House Republicans in Washington to bring immigration reform to a vote, we cannot forget about the invisible casualties of our broken immigration process, notario fraud victims. While there are many communities and religious organizations that are providing legitimate immigration-related services, there is also a growing number of nonlawyers posing as legal consultants, and they are known as ``notarios,'' and they are not licensed to give legal advice. Notarios are basically scam artists who prey on immigrant communities. This week I introduced H.R. 5228, the Notario Victim Relief Act, which would allow victims of notario fraud to reopen their cases and immigrate lawfully. The bill is just the first step toward stopping fraudulent immigration services in our Nation. I urge my colleagues to join me as a cosponsor of H.R. 5228 and help the victims of our broken immigration system. ____________________”
