Coming To America

America is a country of immigrants, but immigration today is more complicated than getting on a boat and stepping on Plymouth Rock. Media and commentators often say that immigrants should “get in line” to come here legally. There is less discussion of how the process works. This class will provide an overview of just what it takes to immigrate to the United States, whether immigration is based on family connections, employment, money, or refugee status. Presenters are Jetta Mathews, an attorney with Moffatt Thomas, and Jason Brown, an attorney with Legal Aid.
