Episode 2: Immigration, Golden Visas, H-1B, Brain Drain
“Immigrants, we get the job done.” - Alexander Hamilton and Marquis de Lafayette, immigrants (as imagined by Lin-Manuel Miranda)
Immigration is a hot-button issue around the world, but especially in the U.S. and especially during these politically polarizing times. In this episode of What In The World? we explore the history of the U.S. immigration system, break down the laws and policies shaping it today, examine how immigration shapes the economy, and most importantly, how recent immigration policies affect us all–immigrant or not.
