In this episode of Immigration Nerds, host Lauren Clarke explores how Fiona McEntee's children's book "Our American Dream" finally has its moment five years after its original release. As immigration continues to dominate headlines in February 2025, this collection of positive immigration stories told through rhyming verse has become more relevant than ever. McEntee, an Irish immigrant and immigration attorney herself, discusses how she's getting her book into the hands of children who need its message most - including community centers in areas where immigrants have faced hostility. She shares how the book is helping immigrant children feel welcome during uncertain times and giving teachers a tool to have age-appropriate conversations about immigration in classrooms. The episode also features Immigration News Nerd Rob Taylor with updates on TPS termination for Haiti, new visa interview waiver restrictions at several US consulates, and a reminder about the upcoming H-1B cap registration period.Show Links:Our American Dream: https://www.ouramericandreambooks.com/

It's a day that ends in a “y,” so it's time for a Republican sex pest story! Also, again, these are Republicans we're talking about. So it'll never be just one. First up: Johnny McEntee! Whether he's stuck reliving his college glory days, or whatever it is, McEntee seems intent on leveraging it for his sex pestery. When he's not compulsively gambling or passing counterfeit notes, that is. Next: Rep. Anthony D'Esposito, who at least had the courtesy to engage in a truly conservative sex scandal, putting both his fiancée's daughter and his mistress on his official House payroll. That's old school! Maybe that's why even George Santos finds this one so embarrassing for the Gop. (Of course, the other reason could be that D'Esposito led the charge to expel Santos as a “stain on the institution.”) Kamala Harris has now endorsed a carve-out from filibuster “rules” to pass legislation codifying Roe, and Schumer's on board. But not Manchin. On the other hand, Manchin's not actually on board the Senate train, anymore. Oh, is that a policy position? I was told that people don't know what her policy positions are, so they “can't” vote for her, or something. But that's not stopping these folks, parading for Harris/Walz in their “golf cars” through The Villages, once considered territory too hostile for such displays. As usual, Greg Dworkin delivered a thorough round-up of the latest polling, leading off with the Harvard Youth Poll from the Harvard Kennedy School Harvard Institute of Politics Harvard Harvard-y Harvard. Also, Harvard. Anyway, the kids are alright, even if Harvard isn't. Into the “cross-tabs?” Plenty of data available on Latino and Asian-American voters, too. “Dems have to win the popular vote by 4% in order to win the Electoral College” may be the new “everything in the Senate requires 60 votes!” In the “confirming our priors” department, the UK's Foreign Secretary is on board with describing Russia as a mob-ocracy. And if you're old enough to remember when floating impeachment for the use of torture, indefinite detention and/or warrantless domestic surveillance was really just “partisan tit-for-tat,” then you'll be annoyed and/or amused to find that “partisan tit-for-tat” IOKIYAR.

In this episode, Alex sits in a park in Madrid, Spain, where he reflects on why returning to Madrid always is bittersweet and brings back a lot of nostalgia. For the majority of the episode, Alex talks about Michael Cohen's testimony in the Manhattan hush-money trial; he argues that Cohen is both the least trustworthy witness but also the most likely. Alex also talks about another troubling figure in the Trump Universe — Johnny McEntee. He is a Trump loyalist, former administration member, and future thought leader that some call the deputy-president. McEntee put out a disturbing TikTok that sums up the cruel elements of the MAGA movement. In the video, he bragged (and found joy) in finding ways to give unhoused people fake money so that they will spend it and end up in jail. Alex argues that this deranged puritanism, mixed with Trump's rhetoric about vermin and “real Americans”, can lead to a dark place.

This week, I welcome back my great friend, Phil McEntee. If you have not listened to Phil's first two episodes, I highly recommend that you do for some great conversations (episodes 55 and 89). Although all guests bring immense value to the show, I love my conversations with Phil because he is a very philosophical and deep thinker. In this episode, Phil gives his perspective on life and how he has grown over the past 45 years (Phil will have turned 45 by the time this episode drops). We discuss how his outlook on life has changed, why he feels he's living his best life, and what it took to get there. We also talk about the problems plaguing our society and the importance for us to get back on track. Finally, we speak about Phil's journey as a father, husband, and brother which allows for some raw moments of emotion. There are some tear jerkers in this episode. I always enjoy Phil's presence and I know you will enjoy the conversation.

E59 The Fifth CourtThe Future of Legal Practice Summit, Part 2, at The Law Society of IrelandOur award winning podcasters, Peter Leonard, BL and Mark Tottenham BL, are joined by solicitors Sonia McEntee (Cavan based) and David Peters (based in Nenagh, Tipperary) to discuss the very real threat to the legal profession in rural Ireland. In this second part of their interview from the Legal Practice Summit they tackle issues such as access to justice as local courts are closed. Peter seems to hark back to the Tipperary town court, that was warmed by a turf fire, but sadly now closed! David Peters correlates the closure of local courthouses with the ending of local legal practices, leading to 'legal deserts' as he calls them. There's also some frustration with the rising level of regulation required of smaller practices. These views lead on to some terrific questions from the floor of the Summit...with so much engagement the session had to be extended. Terrific.And as always our dynamic duo start with three recent cases from the Decisis.ie casebookThe first case involves an application to annul a bankruptcy but an action requiring a 'duty of candour' which may not have been met.The second case involved a Notary Public and the requirement that they be 'available'. But how available is available?The third case is about a planning issue in County Meath, involving the 2014 County Development Plan.Sign up for your own personal copy of the podcast at TheFifthCourt.com Hosted on Acast.

It's not all gloom though as you will learn, as lifestyle choice becomes important and making a difference to your own community is a non-financial dividend that some opt for. The issue of rural legal depopulation is an issue that the Law Society of Ireland is also helping to tackle.And as always our dynamic duo start with three recent cases from the Decisis.ie casebookThe first case concerns particulars being raised in a Judicial Review of a planning case. It's an important case for practitioners.The second case is about employment law, and the law around restraining an employer from firing an employee. This involved the Irish Prisons Service.The third case is about a man who it was alleged had infected two women with HIV but it transpired in the case that the women had other sex partners.Sign up for your own personal copy of the podcast at TheFifthCourt.com Hosted on Acast.
