I'm honored and excited to be blogging for change.org on immigration issues.  I am an immigration attorney at a nonprofit legal services organization, so I am most familiar with U.S. immigration law and policy.  However, I am interested in migration as a global phenomenon and in the ways the U.S. immigration system overlaps (or doesn't) with international human rights law.

I also believe that immigration cannot be viewed in a vacuum, but must be seen in the context of foreign policy in its many facets: trade, environment, war, aid, finance, diplomacy, etc.

I've blogged on immigration as "yave begnet" at a couple of group/community blogs--Citizen Orange and the Sanctuary--so check out my co-bloggers there for additional informed perspectives on the subject.
