IMMIGRATION. It's estimated that over 1 million immigrants enter the United States each year. In 2021, that number was estimated to be near 1.5 million. Immigration is a complicated, and often controversial topic.
Jennifer Scarborough is an immigration lawyer in Harlingen. In this episode, she shares valuable insights on how the process works, many of the challenges faced by those in the system, the complexity of immigration policies, and also the simplicity that comes when you are able to view those involved in these cases as actual people. Jennifer also touches on the topic of LBGTQ rights, as many people seek asylum because they face persecution and maybe even death in their own countries, but now potentially face increasing legal challenges and even persecution in the United States.
Jennifer earned her Bachelor's degree from Mars Hill University, her dual Master's degrees in Social Work and Divinity from Baylor University / Truett Seminary (where she and Kevin met), and her law degree from DePaul. After working in law for several years, she started her own law firm in February, 2020.
