“If this election cycle made one thing evident, it is the fact that we are living in the age of the “30-second sound bite.” Unfortunately, it is impossible to discuss a topic as complex as our immigration system in 30 seconds. The tendency to oversimplify this topic has resulted in the perpetuation of many myths about our current immigration laws and regulations. This presentation will separate “fact” from “fiction,” and elaborate on some of the problems faced by individuals, families and businesses trying to navigate our complex immigration system.” – Aleksandr Troyb
