What?!!? New Year Resolutions for Immigration Officials

By immigrationprof

On his blog, immigration attorney Angelo Paparelli offers a few New Year resolutions for immigration officials.  The first one particularly struck me:

“I will decide all cases based on the evidence of record after having read the file carefully and applied the immigration laws, regulations and agency policy memorandums in a spirit of fidelity to Congressional intent and just compassion for the people and businesses who will be affected by my decision.”

This one seems fair enough to me, as well as something required by the Due Process Clause.  All of the resoultions make for interesting — and revealing — reading.
