THE UNSIDED PODCAST
Our world is divided - economically, racially, morally, spiritually, and politically divided. We are divided by sexuality and by gender. We are divided by belief which has been handed down by our family and foisted upon us by our community. Social media and the 24-hour news cycle only further muddy the waters of understanding. In a world brimming with divisions, staying open-minded is more challenging than ever. But what if we could change that narrative?
UNSIDED leaps headlong into these divides, not to widen them, but to bridge them through conversation. A conversation that explores all sides and uncovers the intersections. A conversation that requires vulnerability and willingness to learn from others. Here we allow for a space in which like-minded people can come to better understand what motivates others and to grow themselves, even if mistakes are made along the way. No judgement. No shaming. No cancelling. Just endless curiosity and ultimately, connection.
THE UNSIDED PODCAST
ROBERT A. PERKINS - THE IMMIGRATION PROFESSOR
Let me ask you a few questions - and be honest.
How much do you REALLY know about US Immigration Policy?
Do you think you have enough of an education to have a solid opinion on the matter?
Do you think everything you hear about the current state of immigration in the United States is accurately portrayed in the media and by politicians?
Need more information? Luckily we have Immigration Attorney Robert Perkins with us for this episode.
Known by many as "The Immigration Professor", for over 35 years Mr. Perkins has successfully represented thousands of individuals and companies from all over the world in their immigration cases. He joins us to shed some light on the origins of the current U.S. immigration policies and offer his unique and experienced perspective on perhaps why we are unable to come together as a nation on such a crucial issue.
Obviously, one podcast is too short a time to unpack all of the complexities here, but it's a good beginning towards understanding how we got to where we are.
Oh, and as with every episode, I've done my best to present this conversation as free from political ideology as possible and offer it as an unbiased education. Just know that was my intention, and pay attention to any reaction you may have. You might learn something about yourself, too.
Let's get into it.
