Immigrant Entrepreneurs | Gorm Tuxen

So 1990.

So I got it as soon as I possibly could.

I had my application in on the five-year date.

So I am not very educated on the immigration process.

or policies here in the U.S.

I mean, naturally, I hear what you hear in the news and pop culture and so on.

I'm curious of what you know about the immigration process.

What are your thoughts on the immigration process here in the States? My understanding, what I've heard in stories on NPR is the complexity of getting citizenship is intense.

It's very difficult to get citizenship here in the U.S.

It is.

And it's one of the things that creates our problem, because on one hand, we need people.

On the other hand, we have legislation that doesn't allow people to come in.

And one of the driving reasons for that is how the system is quoted.

You know, how many immigrants we can actually take.

If you look at the influx of immigrants, immigrants, because I distinguish between immigrants and migrants.

I don't use the word illegal immigrants, because in my mind, there is no such animal.

There are people that choose to displace themselves into our country, and then they say, I want to live here, but they don't have papers.

So

they're migrants.

Illegally, right? Exactly.

They're

migrants.

I mean, migrants go everywhere, but it doesn't mean that they can stay there.

It just means they chose to move there.

And I think it's very important as we have these discussions that we distinguish clearly between what is what.
