Time for a New Law
For too many clients, there’s too little hope for legal status
by Jose Pertierra
I am an immigration lawyer and an immigrant. More than 40 years ago, when my family and I came to the United States, the law welcomed us with open arms. Now immigrants face legal obstacles everywhere. Almost 20 years ago, when I first began practicing immigration law, legal options for clients abounded. But now it’s harder than ever to legalize them.

By Kathy Hadizadeh
Sitting at Starbucks café in El Segundo, I am interviewing a rather “exceptional” candidate running for California governor position - Badi Badiozamani. Why exceptional? Let me explain.

Looking at the Impact of The I-10 on People’s Lives

When Robert Gonzales was growing up in Redlands, Calif., Interstate 10 had become a fixture in the landscape. Completed in 1964, the year Gonzales was born, the freeway, which many refer to as the Dime, had sliced through the town, leaving poor working-class areas on the north side and more affluent neighborhoods on the south. It was on the north side, only a block from the freeway, where Gonzales grew up and where he still lives.

En esta nueva superproducción, el Terminator quiere terminar, si no con todos los humanos, al menos con los ciudadanos de México del Norte.
