Tahmina's Radio Show #5- 11 - 10 - 15 - Guest- Vandana Slatter

On "Immigration with Tahmina Watson" on Desi1250AM on 11.10.15, we discussed the following news updates: DAPA/DACA injunction appeal; NY Times article discussed H1bs but really demonstrated why a Startup Visa is necessary and a GlobeandMail article from Canada that highlighted an entrepreneur who went to Canada instead of the US because the immigration system is so difficult. We also had a wonderful guest- Bellevue, WA's newest elected City Councilwoman Dr. Vandana Slatter. She discussed her immigrant background, her career and how her journey brought us to present day. Later, after the interview, she emphasized why it is important for immigrants to become citizens and why they should vote. I hope you will enjoy this interview!
