Charles Foster Foster us a
global immigration services a
law firm that focuses on
helping employers and
individuals obtain 9 immigrant
an immigrant work the system
permanent resident options as
well so Mister Faso that lets
people know that you have a
vested interest in what’s
happening with our immigration
laws and what’s been happening
now during the pandemic it has
you concerned why so.
>> A camera of course, I’m glad
to be back on your show again
because I think this is very
important. I think precisely
we’ve been going through you
serve a terrible situation will
end prices and race relations
ship all of which have
dominated the news and while
that has been what I wanted to
make is that this is a Trump
administration as insurers
sensual is shut down the U.S..
In terms of legal immigration.
We’re all familiar with the
Statue of Liberty its base.
The famous words of Lazarus.
New York or. Your huddled
masses. You’re tired. During
the free and now that should
has been replaced by Serna says
close we’re out of business.
So what this administration.
Dead they can justify recently
in part. Precisely because of
the cold bars and the resulting
economic shutdown but in
reality. The steps a chore they
have been working to
accomplish. Almost since the
very beginning of the Trump
administration what from the
time that Mister Trump came
down the escalator he you know
the immigration or immigration
type issues with things he
talked about as part of his
candidacy.
>> So perhaps you know it’s
what people voted for they knew
that he was going to be
focusing on that. But you say
that he was focusing more on
illegal immigration and what
he’s doing now is dealing with
legal immigrants.
>> Absolutely but the 3 men
that escalator and and he said
that Mexico was sending there.
Writers are murders first of
all that was ridiculous Mexico
doesn’t send you anybody in the
grass trashed as jury. Other
people that did enter from
Mexico or Central America.
Without we’re not criminals of
obviously that with any large
group of people who are you.
But he focused actually hold
rating. Illegal entrance
building the wall or anything
that was his signature build
the wall and Mexico will pay
for it. Which of course turned
out not to be true. He also We
love legal immigrants and we
want to big wide door in that
wall to welcome legal
immigrants. But my point is
almost from the beginning This
administration has tried to
shut down. Legal immigration.
And we are a to quote the
seminal work of President John
F Kennedy we are a nation of
immigrants. According to the
Greater Houston partnership.
One out of every 4 Houstonians
was born in a different
country. According to Stephen
clamber all of our population
growth since the oil depression
in the mid-eighties as for
really been in the
asian-american communities and
his friend.
>> So what’s the answer what is
the answer to change the
dynamic as you see it back in
the other direction. >> Well doing what I’m doing
>> Well doing what I’m doing
right now I don’t think most
realize just. literally from
the first time in our history
that we are shut down or legal
immigration system starting
with the so-called Muslim ban.
Banning people from a number of countries that have not had a
countries that have not had a
single incident of terrorism in
the United States. And getting
our refugee program we are a a.
>> We were started by refugees
this country. We were we have
been a moral force but now
we’ve gone from what was that
average under Republican and
Democratic presidents of some
leader. 1000 legal refugees a
year almost symbolic down to
essentially 0. Undermine his
solemn process so that no one
that we can apply for asylum
more weight a that has been
under way and for people
immigrating to informant.
And getting most a family based
immigration so. Most Americans
have not focus of the number
one is awareness secondly I
would say it’s hard to know how
we’re going to deal with this
under these circumstances.
There are a number of also so all these recently as July 17.
all these recently as July 17.
Or attacking the legality of
President Trump’s. April 22nd
executive order banning.
Permanent legal immigration in
his proclamation. On June 22nd
any temporary work visas such
as the H one B last week a
shovel.
>> What I want to do if you
want to continue this
conversation I want to have you
come on and I want to have
someone come on resident, the
opposing point of view about
this and have you guys talk it
out the see what what the
answer is what being so people
can get a sense of what’s going
on out there and get a feel for
what’s happening what can be
done deal.
>> That’s a deal if you can
find that person you can
Rachelle the other side of the
I’ll be looking for to make
that happen.
>> The attorney also said thank
you for your insight, I look
forward to say what kind of
