Why They Can't Get In Line?

This episode recorded in English, and in Spanish for those that don't speak English - Host Jacob Monty is joined by special guest host Carolina Ortuzar-Diaz, lead Family Immigration partner of Monty & Ramirez LLP. The episode covers our broken immigration system and explains in detail why those who entered without inspection, a majority of those in the US unlawfully cannot get in line because the current immigration system does not allow them to become legal in the U.S.

The episode will describe in detail how our broken immigration system prevents anyone who entered without inspection or who has been out of status for more than six months from ever becoming legal. For the 12 million undocumented Americans in the country, there is no hope for ever becoming legal until our immigration laws are changed. The episode discusses in detail common immigration myths like “why don't they get in line?”, how “anchor babies” don't actually help the undocumented and other misconceptions that fuel politicians mistaken beliefs about immigration. Stay tuned for a wonderful podcast.
