4/2/18 review of Rep. Crisanta Duran's 2018 H1B visa lottery kickoff speech

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of an H1B visa lottery kickoff then-Speaker of the Colorado State House Crisanta Duran did in April of 2018.

Speaker Duran's talk was with Dr. Maria Navas Moreno, and was about high-skilled immigrants, the value they add to America's economy, the struggles they face in getting appropriate skill-level work visas, especially when a husband and wife are both high-skilled, and how the H1B visa is therefore of high importance.

2/3/18 review of book Undocumented, by Dan-El Padilla Peralta

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the book Undocumented: A Dominican Boy's Odyssey from a Homeless Shelter to the Ivy League, by Dan-El Padilla Peralta.

The thread gives a summary of the book. The thread discusses some themes of the book, like the immigrant experience in the US, growing up in New York City in general, friends and family as support networks, the importance of the community to children, the way support networks create the support networks of the future, and the Christian Church, at its best, as a support network. The thread also gives some background on how I learned of the book.

Some of my Twitter threads have been twisted out of chronological order on Twitter's platform. This thread's coherency is affected as a result. My apologies.

Here is the link to the Penguin Random House web page for the book.
