Thread: Undocumented Immigrant Can be Lawyer, Florida Bar Decides

What the hell is this crap....

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The Florida Board of Bar Examiners says that an undocumented immigrant born in Mexico appears to qualify for a law license, but it still wants an advisory opinion from the state Supreme Court before making a final decision.

The board initially denied Jose Godinez-Samperio's admission to the bar but asked the justices to decide whether being an illegal immigrant disqualifies applicants. The new findings submitted to the Supreme Court on Monday are the result of a request by Godinez-Samperio to consider new information related to his character and fitness before the Supreme Court makes its decision.
Former Florida State University President Talbot "Sandy" D'Alemberte, now teaching law at the school, is representing his former student.
"I hope the bar examiners would just go ahead and approve his admission to the bar and just be done," D'Alemberte said Tuesday.
D'Alemberte, also a former American Bar Association president, said the board's findings that Godinez-Samperio had no moral character or fitness issues that would prevent his admission was more good news that could help the state Supreme Court rule in his favor. He said the justices could dismiss the board's request for an opinion.

I hope the bar examiners would just go ahead and approve his admission to the bar and just be done.

President Barack Obama announced in June that his administration will let illegal immigrants remain in the United States if they are no older than 30, arrived as children, have no criminal history and graduated from high school or served in the military.
D'Alemberte filed a motion with the justices last month arguing that makes Godinez-Samperio eligible for legal immigration status and work authorization.
"No grounds remain for denying or further delaying his admission to the Florida Bar," D'Alemberte wrote.
The board also acknowledged, in a separate filing, that the Obama administration's new policy is relevant to Godinez-Samperio's case, but contended D'Alemberte violated a court rule by including argument in his motion for an order directing the board to conclude its investigation. The board says that request now is moot because of the new findings it has filed.
Godinez-Samperio's parents brought him to the United States from Mexico on a visitor's visa when he was 9. They overstayed their visas and never returned to Mexico. He grew up in rural Hillsborough County where his father, a veterinarian in Mexico, milked cows on a dairy farm, and his mother, a dentist, worked at a factory that made sliding glass doors.
Godinez-Samperio, 25, graduated from New College, earned a law degree from Florida State and passed the bar exam.

An attorney is an officer of the court and has to meet a high ethical standard, this guy does not,in my opinion, meet that standard.

There you go, he is illegal. If he studied law, he should know how ridiculous it would be for him to be allowed to practice law.

Injecting illegal aliens as practicing attorneys injects potent credibility and boldness to illegal aliens to revere and circumvent our already compromised Constitution and immigration laws. This is Pandora's Box on bath soaps ..

Feds oppose undocumented immigrant's right to get California law license

The Obama administration on Thursday said giving an undocumented immigrant a California law license would violate a 1996 federal immigration law.

In a brief filed with the California Supreme Court, the U.S. Justice Department opposed Chico-area law school grad Sergio Garcia's right to become a lawyer as long as he remains an illegal immigrant. The state Supreme Court, which took up the case earlier this year, had asked the federal government for its legal opinion.
