From writing about the Startup visa, to H1bs, to a series on immigration reform, Emily has given a voice to immigration issues like no other. Frequently, she writes editorial on why immigration is important in the US. Here is one of her recent articles. If you are a subscriber to the Puget Sound Business Journal, you know this already! Emily has been and continues to be an incredible voice for immigration and I am excited that our Desi 1250am listeners will have the opportunity to hear why directly from her!
