Episode description

This is a US immigration attorney Hardam Tripathi from Trip-law timelines are very important. We deal with timelines. That's what we live and die by as practitioners. And I think that's what congressional members also live and die by because they understand that reelection campaigns are coming up. And it's kind of an unfortunate situation. But closer towards the end of the session, at least in the House where they get voted in every two years, they tend to kind of not do as much legislating as they do focus more on trying to get reelected.

And I understand it's a necessary evil because how can you continue to push for policies and bills if you're not going to be reelected and get the necessary fundraising and do the right traveling in your constituency and things of that nature. But as it relates specifically to immigration, it does take months and months for things to actually get pushed through. I mean, we all watch school, school rock in a school house, what does a school rockhouse or whatever. And we see that it does take time.

And at the end of the day, it's a slow moving process. And the reason why, which I'm kind of happy, it is slow moving because I think they do really want bills being passed without a actual with the people that we elect to represent us in our districts. Do you really want them to just quickly pass through bills? No, because I'm very wary of bills that are pushed through overnight. Four hundred six hundred eight hundred page bills that most congressional leaders don't have time to read.
