Employment And Immigration Law: The Pathway to Citizenship Deconstructed

REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS ALIKE HAVE MADE IMMIGRATION REFORM A PRIORITY FOR 2014. ONE DIVISIVE POINT IS THE CREATION OF A “PATHWAY TO CITIZENSHIP” FOR PEOPLE IN THE U.S. WITHOUT LEGAL AUTHORIZATION. WHILE THE PHRASE “PATHWAY TO CITIZENSHIP” MAY INVOKE IMAGES OF A U.S. PASSPORT KIOSK AT EVERY MALL, THE REALITY IS THAT SENATE BILL 744, THE COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM BILL THAT PASSED THE SENATE IN JUNE 2013, PROVIDES MERELY A STARTING POINT TOWARD PERMANENT RESIDENCY AND IS NOT THE AMNESTY THAT OPPONENTS FEAR. WITH A FURTHER CLARIFICATION OF WHAT THE “PATHWAY TO CITIZENSHIP” ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE, BOTH SIDES CAN MOVE THROUGH THE CURRENT BLOCKED PATHWAY TOWARD IMMIGRATION REFORM.

the fast food strikes - what will the new minimum wage in connecticut look like?

By Attorney Nadim Tarabishy of Hartford Legal Group

FAST FOOD WORKERS ACROSS THE NATION ARE PROTESTING FOR A NEW AND MUCH HIGHER MINIMUM WAGE OF $15.00 PER HOUR. THIS WEEK, IN CONNECTICUT ALONE, THERE ARE PROTESTS TAKING PLACE IN MANCHESTER, HARTFORD, WEST HAVEN AND BEYOND. PROTESTS ARE CENTERED AT MCDONALD'S AND SUBWAY RESTAURANTS- PERHAPS APPROPRIATELY SO AS THESE TWO CORPORATE GIANTS HAVE GROWN TO BECOME TWO OF AMERICA’S FAVORITE, ICONIC JUNK-FOOD DESTINATIONS.

THE FAST FOOD STRIKES ARE A BIG DEAL BECAUSE THE MASSES ARE RISING AGAINST THE CORPORATION’S PROFIT-MAXIMIZING MACHINERY TO DEMAND MORE. FAST FOOD WORKERS ARE POINTING OUT THAT THEY CANNOT SURVIVE OFF THE PALTRY MINIMUM WAGES THAT SO MANY OF THEM ARE RECEIVING, AND THAT THE CORPORATIONS AND FRANCHISEES THAT THEY WORK FOR CAN AND SHOULD PAY SOME OF THEIR PROFITS FORWARD IN THE FORM OF HIGHER WAGES.

New Connecticut Law Places Limits On Immigrants being Turned over to Federal Authorities

BY GEOFFREY MILLER - REPRODUCED FROM BREAKINGINTOCTLAW.COM WITH PERMISSION FROM THE AUTHOR.

IN A MEASURE, NOTED BY PROPONENTS AS THE FIRST OF ITS KIND, THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT IS LIMITING ITS RESPONSE TO THE DETENTION REQUESTS IT RECEIVES FROM U.S. IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT (ICE). ACCORDING TO SENATE MAJORITY LEADER MARTIN M. LOONEY OF NEW HAVEN, THIS LAW "ESTABLISHES THE PRINCIPLE THAT THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT SHOULD NOT BE ACTING UPON ICE DETAINER REQUESTS FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT COMMITTED A SERIOUS CRIME.''

THIS NEW LAW, SIGNED BY GOVERNOR DANNEL P. MALLOY ON JUNE 25TH, 2013, PERTAINS TO THE FEDERAL ICE "SECURE COMMUNITIES INITIATIVE," IN WHICH ARRESTEE FINGERPRINTS ARE CHECKED AGAINST FBI CRIMINAL HISTORY AND SHARED WITH ICE. THIS OFTEN LEADS TO THE REMOVAL OF IMMIGRANTS EVEN IF THEY HAVE NOT COMMITTED ANY CRIME. SINCE THE INITIATIVE BEGAN, 474 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN REMOVED AS A RESULT AND ACCORDING TO ICE, ABOUT 300 WERE CONVICTED CRIMINALS.
