Article
The Myth Of Immigrant Criminality And The Paradox Of Assimiliation
Ruben G. Rumbaut and Walter A. Ewing for the Immigration Policy Center write "The problem of crime in the US is not "caused" or even aggravated by immigrants, regardless
of their legal status. But the misperception that the opposite is true persists among policymakers, the media, and the general
public, thereby undermining the development of reasoned public responses to both crime and immigration."

Dear Editor:
Thought this case would be of interest to Immigration Daily readers. The Texas Court of Appeals, Third District at Austin in Garcia v. Commission for Lawyer Discipline, No. 03-05-00413-CV, determined that an immigration lawyer violated three provisions of the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct for: fee-splitting with a non-lawyer;
assisting a person who is not a member of the state bar in committing the unauthorized practice of law; and practicing law under a trade name.
Paul Parsons, Esq.
Austin, TX
Dear Editor:
Honza Prchal's latest letter to the Editor (07/25/07 ID) again objects to attributing anti-immigrant feeling to racism, as so many of my letters have done. While none of my letters has ever said that racism is the only reason for opposing "amnesty" for illegal immigrants, or visa increases for legal ones, denying that racism has any significant role at all makes about as much sense as claiming that most people coming across the Mexican border speak Finnish, rather than Spanish, or that most H-1B workers are from Latvia, rather than India and China. One can argue, of course, about what kind of comment is racist and what is not. It is not racist, for example, to point out that crime and poverty are problems in some minority communities. I believe that it is racist, however, to imply that the people in those communities have a built in cultural or biological tendency to embrace crime or poverty, or that prejudice and discrimination have nothing to do with causing these problems. When it comes to labelling millions of immigrants from Latin America, Asia, or anywhere else as "terrorists", or, as was fashionable among certain immigrant-haters until recently, "bird flu carriers", I think that this without any doubt crosses the "border" between legitimate comment and racism. This is why I am so strongly opposed to Lou Dobbs, whose rantings, contrary to the implication in S. Accarino's letter (07/25/07 ID), I do watch whenever I can do so without endangering my health.
