The immigration crisis is a significant concern for all of us, regardless of your political preference. A common question for many people is: “Why don’t migrants enter the United States the right way? My grandparents came here through proper means.” Many people are unsure or unaware of what is involved in coming to this country and beginning the path to citizenship. How can we remedy this enormous immigration problem? One thing we can do is to learn true and accurate information about the issue and the applicable laws.
