Fascinating Insight Into US Immigration

Jessie Westover is an interesting person who works in the fascinating field of immigration. I was curious to better understand immigration without a political filter or angle (as much as that is possible) So I invited Jessie on to help me, and hopefully you, understand this topic a little better. His perspective is not political but rather one of a lawyer working within the system to help people immigrate to the USA. Hopefully, you will find this as interesting, fascinating, and as informative as I did.

Good stuff Dave. Great as usual. Somehow we have to vet everyone coming in and now we aren't doing anything. A wall helps but we need more tools.

most interesting!!! Thank GOD I immigrated 40 years ago within 6 months. On a Green Card that had NO expiration/renewal date! Sounds to me we need lobbyists for immigration 😉

I didn't expect to hear anything new but I did. I would support anything that incentivizes legal immigration over illegal immigration. Seems totally backward right now.
