deported for car theft

when people plead guilty to felonies, they are typically thinking about whether, where, and for how long they will be doing time. most probably know that they will lose other rights and statuses, but they may not realize that the plea can lead to their deportation.

such is the case of luis alexander duenas-alvarez, a native of peru and permanent legal resident in the united states. he served three years for car theft in california, when immigration officials moved to deport him. this week, in gonzales vs. duenas-alvarez, the u.s. supreme court made it easier to deport aggravated felons, such as mr. duenas-alvarez. the ruling reverses the u.s. 9th circuit court of appeals, which had held that california's law applied deportation too broadly.

i've written a lot about how convicted criminals can lose the right to vote, but i'm also interested in the myriad other collateral consequences of conviction -- affecting employment, family life, housing, educational opportunities, receipt of public assistance and even citizenship status. deportation affects a relatively small number of convicted felons, though it surely ranks among the most serious and disruptive of the collateral sanctions.

Hi there! Do you know if they make any plugins to
safeguard against hackers? I'm kinda paranoid about losing everything I've worked hard on.
Any suggestions?

Hi! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog.
Is it tough to set up your own blog? I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I'm thinking
about making my own but I'm not sure where to begin. Do you have any points or suggestions? Cheers

I don't know whether it's just me or if perhaps everyone
else encountering problems with your blog. It appears as
if some of the text within your content are running off the screen.
Can somebody else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them too?

This may be a issue with my internet browser
because I've had this happen before. Appreciate it

Currently it seems like Expression Engine is the preferred blogging
platform available right now. (from what I've read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

Hey there this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or
if you have to manually code with HTML. I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding expertise so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Interesting blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?

A theme like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make
my blog jump out. Please let me know where you got your theme.
Many thanks

Hi! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site?
I'm getting fed up of Wordpress because I've had issues with hackers and I'm looking at options for another platform. I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

Howdy, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you
get a lot of spam remarks? If so how do you stop it, any plugin or anything you can
suggest? I get so much lately it's driving me crazy so any assistance is very much appreciated.
