Ortega, Canossa and Associates, PLC Stay Informed

Stay Informed

At Ortega, Canossa and Associates, PLC we believe that the first step towards immigration reform, a humane and more just immigration system is taken by maintaining the public informed. The supporting public can then make informed decisions, get involved, contact congress, contact the media or most importantly vote, vote for members of congress and a president that will support an immigration system that will uphold family unity, recognize the need for skilled workers that will enrich the economic system of the United States and in turn benefit friends and family.

Ortega, Canossa and Associates, PLC offers its own compilation of documents regarding immigration reform, immigration news, immigration views and history, and for children we offer a page regarding immigration awareness. We hereby encouraged you to get involved and take the second step towards immigration reform.

In addition, the following links will provide you with reliable information regarding the latest developments on immigration laws and enforcement. Immigration attorneys often use these sources of information to stay informed and so can you:
