I'm sure I want to pursue law, and immigration just seems like a meaningful specialization, especially here in America with the current political climate. Probably even more so here in Texas.

However, my understanding is that the immigration court system is a bit of a mess (too many cases, too few courts). Is it really that bad? Do you feel cases are rushed?

Do you spend most of your time helping people with naturalization, or helping them avoid deportation?

What do you consider your primary responsibility or goal if your client is truly here illegally? (my understanding is that illegal immigrants have the right to a hearing) I'm just curious about what they hope to accomplish.

Do you think a public defender system for immigration cases would be a good idea?

I have had plenty of Spanish classes, but I have come to understand that I am simply not going to be fluent in conversation unless I immerse myself.

Thanks for the response.

Are you bilingual?

Do you need to be bilingual to practice immigration law?
