Are you implying that because something is illegal, it is also unethical?
If you are a lawyer, yes.
If you say of course not in that case, you acknowledge that there are unethical laws. If you say of course even Nazi lawyers are acting ethically, your absolutionist viewpoint doesn't exactly fit in with the messy real world.
I'm not sure if this is the right forum to ask, but I thought I'll try because I couldn't find much information online. My neighbor is a really nice undocumented immigrant family. The family has 2 hard working kids who used to tutor others kids in the neighborhood to make income. They are now suffering because they don't have work and they need help. I have been giving them a monthly stipend to help them pay for food…
Amazing that your comment promoting illegal activity is at the very top of the thread. I wonder if Peter Roberts would be under any ethical obligation to report this to the authorities?
Establishing a non profit to direct money to undocumented immigrants isn't illegal.
What was the illegal activity you were talking about?
1. Contract with W-2 Which requires TAX/SSN id. 2. Contract work with a Remote hire.(Off shore).
Does firms get any benefits for going route#1 ? Why staffing agencies are not taking route#2 ?
I've anecdotally heard that it's possible to go from a TN -> Green Card. Light googling is pretty mixed on the subject; one side takes the stance that it's strictly not possible and the other says it is, but a risk. Can you comment on your take? Is it possible to do this, what are the risks, and would you recommend it vs. trying for the H1B lottery?

FWIW: there is no DREAM act, it never passed. DACA is an executive order, not a law, and (somewhat hilariously in context) it remains in effect, allowing undocumented immigrants who arrived as children to get a renewable work permit. That permit allows someone to live and work in the country. Anyone can hire her as long as she has it. As far as starting a company: that's an interesting question. That's not an employm…
To add to this DACA could have been repealed in the recent SCOTUS ruling but due to improper legal proceedure it wasnt cancelled. I don't know if anything else would threaten DACA.
My understanding was that they said that the current administration did have the power to end DACA, but that the justification they gave for doing so (that DACA was illegal) was incorrect, so it could not be ended until they gave a proper justification for it.
Thanks for doing this. I have started working in the US with L1B visa in March but because of the pandemic and the US-Canada border closure I have not been able to move there officially. My L1B was issued in a US-Canada land border (basically flagpoled - took the visa and came back) and my company is fine working remotely since we will be working from home for the rest of the year anyway. However I need to get a SSN…

For most political conflicts I can figure out who would benefit and who would lose if a given policy decision gets made. For a ban on immigration of highly skilled workers I don't understand who benefits - it seems like a lose-lose to me. Can you explain the motivation behind preventing foreign engineers and scientists from entering the USA?
Non immigrant visa holders cannot vote, and there is little benefit for employers to actually go out and challenge the administration to protect them.
We are an easy target when it comes to populist actions.
