The well-known story of Thanksgiving is an account of how the English pilgrims and Native Americans came together for a celebratory meal in Plymouth, Massachusetts. The true story behind Thanksgiving is a bloody one, and some people say it's time to cancel the holiday altogether. 

Some people view the holiday as a reminder of the systemic racism and oppression Native Americans continue to experience in the US. Attorney Brian Figeroux shares his thoughts.

No money, no love. Can’t make love on an empty stomach. No matter the point in time, money problems and financial difficulties are always at the center of discord. It affects our bottom line, health - mental, physical and emotional - and our relationships. Now, we have the added stress and anxiety of the pandemic. Attorney Brian Figeroux explains how we can fix this.

Trump’s single term has represented a reign of terror for many immigrants. He has done an enormous amount of damage and has really suppressed legal immigration in this country to a degree that we’ve never seen before.  By 2021, Trump will have reduced legal immigration up to 50%. There is hope now for all immigrants. President-elect Joe Biden has a vision for a new chapter in US policy – but rollbacks will take time, money and support in Congress. Attorney Brian Figeroux discusses the expected changes.

What does the phrase “eyes wide shut” really mean? It seems to be a contradiction. It could mean that a person refuses to see something in plain view, because of preconceived notions of what this something should look like or what they would like it to be. And this frequently happens to naïve people. It also doesn't only apply to naive individuals as the definition is very much a play of words. It applies to those who choose to enter into or take on something and all the while are fully aware of the perils or dubious outcomes that may lie right before them. It sometimes can be an ignorance to the obvious and not listening to intuition. Are your eyes wide shut or are your eyes wide open?

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Intimate partner violence is especially horrible for immigrants who depend on their spouses for immigration benefits. We call it Green Card Slavery. Thanks to VAWA (the Violence Against Women's Act) which is gender neutral and was sponsored by then Senator Joe Biden, there is hope through the Spousal Abuse Petition. This law shows the character of Biden coming up with a solution for women, immigrant women who benefit the most.  Attorney Brian Figeroux speaks on this, as well as children who are abandoned in the U.S., the orphan petition and other immigration issues.
