Immigration law determines whether a person is an alien, the rights, duties, and obligations associated with being an alien in the United States, and how aliens gain residence or citizenship within the United States. It also provides the means by which certain aliens can become legally naturalized citizens with full rights of citizenship. Immigration law serves as a gatekeeper for the border of the nation, determining who may enter, how long they may stay, and when they must leave. Immigration lawyers represent persons seeking temporary and permanent residency (green cards) status in the U.S., those interested in obtaining U.S. citizenship through a process called naturalization, and clients facing deportation and removal. Immigration attorneys may also represent businesses seeking to secure temporary visa status for foreign employees.
Poolville is an unincorporated town in Parker County, Texas, United States founded by Sam Jones in 1814 along Farm Road 920, about 17 miles northwest of Weatherford, the county seat. It is home to a few hundred residents, and a school district with three campuses, a seed and feed company, a post office, a convenience store, and a storage facility. There are three churches in the town; a Methodist church, a Southern Baptist church, and a Church of Christ. The Church of Christ building is located just west of the town square, behind the seed company. Fires came through this small town because of a drought. The drought lasted for 8 months.
