Boston immigration lawyer's clients face deportation

Enedino Neto thought his prayers were answered in 2001 when he walked into a downtown Boston law office overflowing with illegal immigrants like him, all in a frenzied rush to apply for newly available work visas that could someday lead to US citizenship. Everyone said lawyer John K. Dvorak was the one for the job.

But now, 11 years later, the government is sanctioning the lawyer, and Neto is being expelled from the United States.

18 months suspension ....that is a crying shame, you or I would have gotten 18 years in prison. It's time for Massachusetts to take the job of disciplining lawyer out of the hands of lawyers. This guy took advantage of the weak and powerless. People who are often afraid to complain. His behavior was caught by a conscientious INS examiner, there are thousands of application that are simply denied. Dvorak is not the only immigration lawyer that takes people's money and do nothing

Yes, Senator Kennedy, "Send them back"!

So the answer is for them to just hide out illegally, because now that they stepped forward and tried to do the right thing to be here they are getting kicked out. Ridiculous...
