Editor's Comments of the Day
The layout of Immigration Daily has changed. We have moved the "featured article of the day" ahead of the primary source news items. ILW.COM will publish articles on any aspect of immigration law. We encourage the submission of articles from attorneys, paralegals, professors, human resource managers and anyone effected by immigration law. We will not publish something we know to be factually inaccurate. Beyond that, we actively seek a variety of opinions and viewpoints. Articles do not have to be footnoted as though we were a traditional law journal. The length of an article is best determined by the subject it covers. Some topics can be covered in a few paragraphs while others may require many pages. An advantage of electronic publishing is the flexibility to carry articles of any length. With close to 6,000 subscribers to the e-mail version having an article published in Immigration Daily is an economical way to express yourself, share your knowledge, and gain recognition in the field. Send articles to editor@ilw.com.
Tip of the Day
Problems Entering the ILW.COM Chat Room
Some site users have indicated that they have had problems entering the
chat room for chat with a lawyer or to use the
24-hour public chat. You will not be able to enter the chat room if they do not have a recent computer (Pentium 90 MHz)
and a recent browser such as Netscape Navigator 3 or higher or Internet Explorer 4 or higher. ILW.COM offers many secure services that require a 128-bit encryption which only the recent browser versions can handle. Users can easily download a free copy of the latest browser version at http://www.ilw.com/membership/security.shtm.
You will not be able to enter the chat room if you access the site through a proxy server. The chat program runs on ilw:83,
which is different from ilw.com. Some ISPs (Internet Service Providers) do not permit their clients to log on to ilw:83 through a proxy server. To verify this, users may try accessing http://www.ilw.com:83/findlawyer/findlawyer.asp. If unable to access the page, contact the ISPs if at home or contact the Network Administrator if they at work.
One other reason why you might be unable to access a chat would be if there is a bug on your system. In order to detect a virus run a virus scan program or contact someone who can help you in this matter.

Cases of the Day
Vehicle Stop by Border Patrol Legal Considering Totality of
Circumstances
In USA v. Guerrero-Barajas,
No. 99-41208, (5th Cir. Feb. 12, 2001) the court held that the Border Patrol Agents did not violate defendant's
Fourth Amendment rights when they stopped a car with tinted windows, riding low in the back and traveling at normal speed
because the Agents' suspicions based on the totality of the circumstances were reasonable. The court has amended the opinion filed January 19, 2001.
Live-in Cook Not a Bona Fide Job Opportunity
The Board of Alien Labor Certification Appeals ("BALCA") in Dr. and Mrs. Zakaria Oweiss 2000-INA-185 (Jan. 24, 2001), found that where both husband and wife had full time jobs outside the home, it was likely that the position was actually a general houseworker with cooking duties instead of a full time domestic cook, and while a live-in requirement might be considered an accommodation by the employer, it was not requirement to perform the duties of the job an might have a chilling effect on US applicants.
