• Cruelty Under the Magnifying Glass

    The law gives all governments the prerogative to design and implement their migration policies to guard territorial integrity, as well as to safeguard the well-being and citizen security, but that authority is not a blank check: there are absolute human rights standards for guide those decisions to be humanitarian,...
  • MORTGAGES COULD INCLUDE THESE HOME BUYER PROTECTIVE CLAUSES

    Recently I learned when listening to National Public Radio (NPR) that a very large financial firm had bought 80,000 single family dwellings (Atlantic Coast locations) which were being rented to occupants who experienced a periodic increase in rental rates.

  • Guerra Contra la Obesidad

  • AL BORDE DEL ‘IMPEACHMENT’

    Un “impeachment” o juicio político es cosa seria. En los 242 años de historia de los Estados Unidos sólo se ha iniciado el proceso contra 5 presidentes, incluido Donald Trump, aunque las acusaciones contra funcionarios civiles menores –jueces, legisladores– han sido mas numerosas, más de 60 casos desde 1789....
