Everything a citizen should know about the legal routes of access to the United States is contained in the book “Manual of Immigration to the United States” by Milagros Mejía, an expert on immigration and immigration matters. The book is prefaced by Dr. Lucy Arraya, a specialist in international law, who emphasizes the clarity with which the author explains the topics so that the reader understands the steps necessary to obtain a visa to the great American nation for vacation purposes, study, work or a permanent stay.
Arraya emphasizes that Mejía, having lived in the United States, "knows from her point of view as an immigrant the responsibilities, rights, duties and respect for procedures that must be observed," which are detailed in the manual. It includes the different types of visas and the time each one allows visitors to remain in the country, as well as the activities that can be carried out in accordance with migratory laws.
The author of the prologue understands that Mejía's book "will guide interested readers, lawyers and the public in general, who, when traveling to the land of democratic ideals, should observe its rules and procedures to always be able to count on the doors remaining open to all that the country offers — the hope, the knowledge of the history of its men and women and the enjoyment of its monuments and geographic spaces that nourish the sight and magnify the soul."
Those that venture into the text should pay attention to the authorial voice of Arraya when assessing the explanations about "the changes and transformations that occur in the current immigration system as a result of new criminal tendencies," which could cause future modifications to the current regulations. Migration, she says, is "a constant and dynamic phenomenon of all the societies of the world," which is why she recommends staying up to date with the latest information.
In an appendix, Mejía answers frequently asked questions about immigration, which makes the book a recommendable read to start 2019.
Todo cuanto debe conocer un ciudadano sobre lo que tiene que ver con las vías de acceso legal a territorio estadounidense está contenido en la obra Manual de Inmigración a los Estados Unidos, de la abogada Milagros Mejía, experta en asuntos migratorios y de extranjería. El libro está prologado por la doctora Lucy Arraya, especialista en derecho internacional, quien destaca la claridad con que la autora explica los temas, de manera que el lector entienda los pasos indispensables para lograr el visado a la gran nación americana con fines vacacionales, de estudio, trabajo o estadía permanente.
Arraya destaca que por Mejía haber vivido en los Estados Unidos, “conoce desde su punto de vista como inmigrante, las responsabilidades, derechos, deberes y respeto que se deben guardar ante los procedimientos” que se detallan en el manual, que incluye los diferentes tipos de visas, el tiempo que permiten permanecer en el país, así como las actividades que pueden realizarse de acuerdo con las leyes migratorias.
La prologuista entiende que el libro de Mejía “orientará a los lectores interesados, abogados y público en general quienes, al momento de viajar a la tierra de los ideales democráticos, deberán observar sus reglas y procedimientos para contar siempre con esas puertas abiertas a la esperanza, al conocimiento de la historia de sus hombres y mujeres, al disfrute de sus monumentos y espacios geográficos que nutren la vista y engrandecen el alma”.
Quienes incursionen en el texto debieran prestar atención a la voz autorizada de Arraya cuando valora las explicaciones sobre “los cambios y transformaciones que se dan en el sistema inmigratorio actual, como causa de las nuevas tendencias delictivas”, lo que podría en el futuro provocar modificaciones en las normativas vigentes. La migración, dice, es “un fenómeno constante y dinámico de todas las sociedades del mundo”, por lo que recomienda mantenerse al día con las informaciones.
En un apéndice, Mejía responde preguntas frecuentes sobre Inmigración, lo que hace del libro una lectura recomendable para empezar el 2019.

These countries ... have demonstrated that moral courage can coexist with diplomacy and that choosing humanity over expediency carries weight on the international stage.
No sooner had the U.S. ambassador broken her year-long silence with 'concerns' than Guyana’s attorney general bustled into action, like some jack-in-the-box, as though he had nothing else to do.
[I]n the same area where these great beasts live, someone had the primitive and perverse idea to build a prison ... for immigrants in the United States without documentation.
