Should illegal immigrants be allowed to practice law in the USA?

I almost wanted to say YES. Only because -then MAYBE they'll get it (OUR LAWS) RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

But when you perform an illegal act regardless of nature - your whole personae and priorities have their own set of rules as self serving. It's not becoming of an American. Even though most are here just for self serving purposes and could careless about becoming an American. So NO is the answer I am giving.
Either do it right or suffer the consequences of getting caught and posing for a picture with our great Sheriff Joe. Hope you like Tents and camping.

Should a child molester be allowed to work at a day-care?

Should a drug trafficker be allowed to work in a pharmacy?

Should Barry Hussein Soetoro Davis be allowed to usurp our WH?

What a silly idea that that you need permission to represent someone at all. That decision should be the client's alone.

LAWYERS are not American anyway they are part of the BAR which stands for the BRITISH ATTORNEY REGISTRY part of the British Gov't They are subjects under the Crown!

LOL It is illegal to get a law license without being a legal citizen.

What the hell is it about the word 'ILLEGAL' that people don't get?? Illegal aliens shouldn't even be in the country.

Illegal immigrants should not be allowed to work here, go to school here, or receive social assistance here. They all should be arrested, detained, and deported.

Law licenses are issued by the states, not the Federal Gov.
But why is being a criminal not a basis for denying a law license in every state?
Even Bill Clinton had his Law License suspended for criminal conduct.

ROFL, let someone breaking the law practice law...Oh yeah that sounds like California.

That sounds like lawyers!

Ok ,you got me on that one :)

Once they are deported and come back in legally, sure!

And pay for their travel out and repay all other benefits they received from citizens and legal resident taxpayers.

Exactly.

Give a bar license to someone who openly defies our laws?

Ok you want an illegal to practice LAW?? That makes no sense because they are breaking the law to begin with.

should i really have to explain this one?

Should people with no respect for the country or it's laws be allowed to practice law?

That question really answers itself. Kinda like having illegal immigrant Jessica Colotl working in an immigration department instead of deporting her.

They must become US Citizens first!

WTH?

Your sign says it all! Why should any rational person even consider giving a criminal a license to practice law?

CA? Not that many rational people to oppose that idoicy.

That is insane of course not!

How can an illegal practice law? That's sick, CA. nevermind.....

Send him back to Mexico, I here there are plenty of drug dealers that are looking for a lawyer.

'ILLEGAL'?????. Right off the bat, the problem lies with someone that is 'ILLEGAL' representing anyone in the 'LEGAL' system of the United States.

Hell no - they need to go to their own country and then practice law there.

send them back whining.

Practice law? They should be thrown out of the USA.

Absolutely not! Send him back to where he came from and let him practice law there!

Oh I wish bama would support this! It would just be another nail in his casket.

Why do we even have to ask?

That's like having a criminal be a judge.

Exactly!!

They should be rounded up and SENT HOME.

Anybody should be allowed to practice law in the U.S., but whether or not clients will take a chance on foreign, underexperienced, or inept lawyers is another matter. Yet I do think the clients themselves should have that choice instead of a government agency like the ABA.

Before the American Bar Association established a government monopoly over the certification of lawyers, lawyers would study as apprentices under their more experienced counterparts and have their mettle tested directly by their colleagues every day. And even though it seems that would be a recipe for chaos, some of the sharpest legal minds of our early history came out of that decentralized system.

If there's any true threat to the American justice system, it is the double-edged travesty of lawyers who work for the state instead of their clients, combined with juries who are not informed of their rights to nullify Unconstitutional rulings.

People here *illegally* should be allowed to practice *law*?

And the inmates should run the asylum, right?

Anyone should be able to practice law since the client is the one who should have the ultimate say as to who represents him before the government, not the government.
