Marks & Katz, LLC, believes strongly in widely opening the United States' borders to immigrants. The pendulum swings back and forth in this regard, and Marks & Katz does its best to push the pendulum in favor of immigrants, who in so many ways are the backbone of American society. Everybody benefits from robust immigration.  Businesses benefit because the global economy has shrunk too much to rely solely on United States citizen labor. Citizens benefit from the vibrant social and economic contributions of immigrants. Immigrants gain from the political rights, social benefits and economic benefits of emigrating to the United States. 

Marks & Katz's lawyers have a longtime interest in helping immigrants. Partner Jay Marks's interest in the field long pre-dates his law school career, with his deeply-rooted work and mutual affection with the Hispanic community, full fluency in Spanish and Portuguese, and numerous travels to Latin America. Jay is a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association. Jay is AILA's sole representative to the immigration court in Maryland. Partner Jon Katz chairs the Immigration Committee of the Maryland Criminal Defense Attorneys Association. He speaks fluent French and proficient Spanish.
