Attorney: Immigrants Should Not Worry About Trump Presidency
Cimarron, KS (westernkansasnews.com) There is a fear in the Hispanic community built up from the words of then Presidential candidate Donald Trump that those here illegally would be sent back home. Immigration attorney Michael Feltman says he has sense that tension for some time now.
