Dear Editor:
The original title to my article published on January 22, 2001 was entitled
"Extension of 245 (i)" and not "Extension of 245(i) Helps Some Illegals." The
title was obviously edited by ilw.com. I would avoid any reference to
individuals as "illegals." The use of the term is derogatory to those who may
have fallen out of status or are undocumented because of iniquities in our
immigration laws and its administration. In fact, the distinction between one
who is in the United States legally or illegally is often blurred by the fact
that there are provisions in the immigration laws that allow undocumented
people to regularize their status . By the same token, the laws are often so
complex that people unwittingly fall out of status. It is time that we show
greater sensitivity to all immigrants who contribute to America's success
and prosperity.
Sincerely, Attorney Membership Case Tracking Immigration Daily Citizenship Materials
