The Yves Project

On Immigration Part 1

In the run up to the US elections, we explore legal and illegal immigration, assimilation, the dissemination of information and how the electorate needs to be able to hold both sides of the immigration argument. In today's political climate does confidence, opinion and conviction beat truth, fact and accuracy - or vice versa? And the importance of having compassion in every circumstance, for both migrants looking for a new home as well as existing citizens who are trying to build their lives too.  Hosted by Laura Piety and Yves Muya.
