What makes me angry in this situation is that they make this guy out to be an all around good guy. What they fail to mention is that Humberto got deported several times and re-entered the United States illegally. The thing with the lawyers from the New York Times in the article,” Specialists’ help at court can come with a catch,” dated October 9, 2010, by Adam Liptak, kind of does not surprise me. A lawyer, wanting a case that may very well go before the Supreme Court makes me makes me wonder whether the lawyer was in it for himself. If he was in it for the client initially, why would it matter who represented him in the court session?
If Humberto was deported for being here illegally the first time then escaped deportation the second time, or even third, by being arrested, there should have been no contest with the court system that the status of becoming an American Citizen did not change. In the Court Opinion provided by Cornell University of Law by the Justice Souter, http://www.law.cornell.edu/supct ,it claims that an immigrant may have rights against him if he leaves and comes back illegally. This was completely a showboat opportunity for the lawyer in question. He saw the unique opportunity to claim his right to fame by going before the Supreme Court in handling this case whether it won or not he could get his name in the papers, the court system as an immigrant lawyer etc. What a shameful way to go public with your own interests in mind. Meanwhile a child may never see his father again due to the greed and corruption of the mind of that lawyer. This is a ridiculous way to move up in the world. However the man should not be allowed back in the country until he is given that right.
