Since joining the prominent Tulsa law firm of Fry & Elder in 2015, Lorena Rivas has established herself as an authority figure on Oklahoma immigration law.
Rivas recently put this on full display for the Tulsa-based Hispanic media publication La Semana del Sur. The up-and-coming Oklahoma immigration law attorney, wrote an editorial piece that was featured in one of the June issues of La Semana del Sur. CLICK HERE to read Rivas’ editorial.
Not surprisingly, the topic Rivas weighed in on has become one of the most talked about and controversial topics surrounding Donald Trump’s presidential candidacy – that topic being of course illegal immigration.
In the article, Rivas wrote that a common question her clients regularly ask her is what would to them if Trump got elected as President and more specifically if he would “be able to deport them immediately.”
While those are tough opening questions to hear from clients, Rivas conveyed that she does her best to be honest, saying that a Trump presidency would “affect” immigration, but that it would not “immediately change the current state of the immigration system.”
Rivas pointed out that while the President of the United States is bestowed with a great amount of power, the legislative and judicial branches are in place to keep that power in check.
