I just released the second edition of my general reference book on immigration law and compliance in both the original English and my Spanish translation. It is an introductory guide aimed at both a supplement to existing textbooks on business law, the legal environment of business, and related textbooks as immigration law and compliance is not generally taught or covered in traditional law textbooks. But the book is primarily intended as an accessible, affordable reference for a general audienc...

Happy Birthday, America!

It saddens me that our home is the only one as I look up and down my block and well beyond it that flies Old Glory today. It angers me that too many loons see the flag as a symbol of oppression and of hatred—even as they proudly wear their old Che Guevara T-Shirts with great pride at that good-looking bad boy who murdered other Marxists who fought beside him but deviated from his personal brand of post-revolutionary zeal.

I lived my first 9 years under right-wing dictatorships and am no f...

Remember Our Fallen on Memorial Day

You can hear me read two of my poems in remembrance of Memorial Day on Apple Podcasts by clicking HERE.

Please take a moment this Memorial Day to remember our fallen. They served with honor and served as bulwarks against tyranny in two world wars. They served with honor and died in foolish wars as well in service of their country. They paid the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we enjoy. And so did their families. Please remember them and say a prayer for them if so inclined, or a silent “t...
