Comment: Products Of Our System? A public radio station reports on the presence of so-called 'notarios' in Southern California - non-attorneys who target immigrants, charging exorbitant fees while making false promises of green cards and offering legal ways to remain the U.S. that never materialize. The federal government and local departments of consumer affairs have cracked down on these practices with a rise in investigations and are beginning to hit offenders with steep fines, but the problem appears to persist; the notarios seem to be a step ahead of law enforcement and immigrants are often hesitant to report malfeasance. Are the notarios rogue criminals who will exist in any system? Or has our government created an environment that engenders these abuses? Would sensible immigration policy - rather than the antiquated, fear-mongering rhetoric coming from both parties on the campaign trail - and things like pathway to citizenship eradicate illegal and potentially dangerous clandestine practices that have cropped up, like these notarios in California and the 'coyotes' on the Mexican border?
