On Wednesday, July 30, 2014, Congressman Marc Veasey, TX-33, took to the House Floor to address the invisible victims of immigration fraud. While there are many community, religious, and non-profit organizations providing legitimate immigration-related services, there is also a growing number of non-lawyers posing as legal consultants, often known as “notarios,” who are not licensed or qualified to give legal advice.
• Notario’s are scam artists who prey on our immigrant communities.
This week, Congressman Veasey introduced H.R. 5228, the “Notario Victims Relief Act,” which would allow victims of notario fraud to reopen their cases and immigrate lawfully.
