Understanding Immigration in the US with Layla Razavi, Deputy Executive Director at Freedom for Immigrants

The conversation around immigration in the US is often met with controversial opinions, buzz words, and horrendous campaign slogans. However, it is also commonly misunderstood, as are the terms within this overarching umbrella. Cue, Layla Razavi, Deputy Executive Director at Freedom for Immigrants, who we were honored to speak with on this episode. Walking us through immigration 101, Layla provided us (and now you) a critical understanding of the concepts, constraints, and controversies around immigration in the US. From defining what ICE is, to asylum, the episode captures a broad strokes picture of what immigration entails in this country.
