LOS ANGELES, CA -- There are aliens in our midst. Can you guess who they are?

An increasing number of people are trying to do just that, by playing a new quiz game created by prominent Los Angeles immigration attorney Carl Shusterman. The game, called "Guess Who's the Immigrant," appears as part of SHUSTERMAN'S IMMIGRATION UPDATE, a monthly feature of Shusterman's immigration web page at
