Protestors Line the Streets of Yemen

by Daun Lee

As unrest continues to plague the Middle East tens of thousands of anti-government protestors converge the cities and provinces, it is dubbed ‘The Day of Rage’. Yemen in one of the poorest and unstable nations in the region. The citizens are calling for the end of the 32 year reign of President Ali Abdullah Saleh. They are also enraged by the violence perpetrated on the demonstrators by the security forces in Yemen. Saleh blames the numerous uprisings in Arab Nations on the US and the state of Israel. Hundreds of protestors in the nations who are experiencing political unrest have been killed by the police in these nations.

When citizens of a country fear for their personal safety they often seek asylum in another nation.  Natural disasters, wars and oppression create a class of people called refugees. It is customary for some nations to allow refugees citizenship with the guidance of an immigration attorney.  The current volatile situations in the Middle East have caused numerous people to flee the violence and poverty.

Refugees can sometimes find more economic opportunities in the US. People who are looking for more personal freedoms and a life free of fear can apply for visas and citizenship when advised by an immigration lawyer. European nations as well as the US are no doubt bracing for a wave of refugees during the tumultuous times infecting Arab nations. An immigration lawyer is indispensible for the thousands of refugees who want asylum.
