Unite States of Aliens

title: "United States of Aliens"

summary: "So much of the US election campaign has been about migration this year. Mostly focussing on all the illegal immigrants entering the US. However, since 2009 US companies have hired nearly 7 million foreign workers and laborers to work on farms, in care taking jobs, or as computer engineers on temporary visas"
