According to a 2019 Hicks & Funfsinn blog post, “Being in the U.S. illegally – either from unlawful entry or from overstaying a visa – could result in an immigrant’s removal through deportation,” adding, “If you or a loved one is facing deportation, you must act fast. The proceedings can be long, confusing and impersonal. It’s a good idea to seek an attorney who can act on your behalf”

Immigration

o According to a May 14, 2019, post on the Hicks & Funfsinn website, “People come to the United States from all over the world seeking the American dream. Many come from destitute and squalor or countries plagued with tyranny with the hope of creating better lives for themselves and their families.

“But sometimes immigrants are so desperate to come to America they do not go through all the proper channels. Being in the U.S. illegally – either from unlawful entry or from overstaying a visa – could result in an immigrant’s removal through deportation.”[1]

o According to the same post, “No one want to have to leave their home, especially when they’ve come to the U.S. to make a new life. If you or a loved one is facing deportation, you must act fast. The proceedings can be long, confusing and impersonal. It’s a good idea to seek an attorney who can act on your behalf.”[2]
