Jason Finkelman, an immigration lawyer based in Austin, navigates the complex emotions of his clients facing fears about deportation amidst political changes. Many foreign workers, despite being highly educated and sponsored by major companies, experience anxiety about traveling due to strict immigration policies implemented by the Trump administration. Finkelman emphasizes that individuals without serious criminal records are unlikely to face deportation. He encourages his clients to lead normal lives, even as they express fears over routine international travel, highlighting the emotional toll of current immigration policies.
These days, I feel like I'm half lawyer, half therapist for my clients.
Many of these are international entrepreneurs or investors looking to get a visa to start a business in the US.
I have to keep reminding people that unless you have committed a major crime, it is extremely unlikely you'll be detained or removed from the US.
The Trump administration is picking up where it left off, making sure to be as strict as possible in adjudicating legal immigration to protect American jobs.
