· Border Crossing Law Firm · By Shahid Haque · From the Border Crossing Law Firm media archive.
In this Helena Civic Television interview, Shahid Haque gives a broad overview of immigration in Montana. He explains different ways people can lose or lack status, mixed-status families, the often-overlooked Canadian immigrant population, racial profiling, LR-121, and the work of MIJA and the firm. He also addresses labor, public services, and the economic consequences of a broken federal system.
The interview captures Shahid's public-education work after representing more than a thousand Montana immigrants and families. It counters the idea that immigration was a distant border-state issue by showing how federal policy affected communities throughout Montana.
