 Possessing more than two decades of experience as an immigration attorney, Christopher Stender serves as a partner at Federal Immigration Counselors in Phoenix, Arizona. Christopher Stender networks with colleagues as a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA).
In a recent statement, AILA called upon the House Judiciary Committee to abandon immigration policies that focus on harsh enforcement standards that not only are burdensome to local law enforcement because they mandate procedures that are unfunded, but also violate the spirit of the Constitution. Specifically, AILA has asked lawmakers to strike down further discussion on the Michael Davis, Jr. and Danny Oliver in Honor of State and Local Law Enforcement Act and additional measures related to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations. AILA president William A. Stock condemned the measures, saying they are totally inappropriate and do nothing to further any meaningful immigration reform. He went on to further say that the House Judiciary Committee has missed the mark in its reasoning and should instead focus on trying to find real solutions to immigration issues instead of posturing “enforcement only” measures. |
