Two days ago i sent an email to a very involved activist in my former Cal State Long Beach. She has tremendously volunteered to attend immigration meetings, has written books that help undocumented students apply for internships, scholarships, let's just say that she is very involved in the movement for a long time. well, her response made me think. i'll post it. please comment:

ME

Dr. E.M., i hope you remember me i attended cal state long beach for my undergraduate degree. I am contacting you to ask if you know any immigration attorneys that you can recommend just in case i need one for the new June 15 differed action memorandum. I meet all the requirements and i am still unsure whether get an attorney or not. I just want to be prepared in case i do.

SHE

HI EG. The information will not come out until mid august, so it is early to get an attorney. I would suggest that when it does come out that you talk with Dr. Nelly Paredes-Walsborn of the 605 Citizenship Project. Her telephone is 209-848-096 and her email is [email protected]. After you speak with her you will be in a better position to determine what kind of attorney you will need. She is also closer to the list of attorneys that work expertly with BCIS. For now, we are advising students to wait until after the November elections to see the outcome. If Obama wins his Executive Order will stand, but if Romney wins it is likely that he will cancel the Executive Order.
