In a new attempt to reduce immigration, the government has launched a program offering $1,000 to undocumented immigrants who voluntarily leave the country. While it may sound tempting, attorney Narciso Cruz warns: this decision could shut the door on any future attempt to legally return to the U.S.
Accepting this “offer” might mean giving up your chance to obtain legal residency, especially if you already have family here, U.S. citizen children, or may qualify for waivers or humanitarian remedies like the T visa, which protects victims of labor abuse or human trafficking.
There have also been reports of sudden deportations without notice to lawyers, raids on agricultural farms, and even cell phone searches at the border. All this is happening while a recent Cato Institute study shows that immigrants commit fewer crimes than U.S. citizens, debunking the anti-immigrant narrative.
Did you cross with a smuggler and suffer abuse, even years ago? Do you work under unfair labor conditions? You might have a path to a Green Card without leaving the country.
In these difficult times, knowledge is power. The first step is to have a consultation with a lawyer who understands your case. Don’t rule yourself out before knowing your rights.
