Hello everyone and welcome to A Pretty Normal Podcast, a show that re-imagines what society considers normal. Each week I interview different guests about the topics they’re most passionate about.This week I had the opportunity to speak with Tahmina Watson, the inspirational founder of Watson Immigration Law as well as Widen, a non-profit organization that trains and mentors lawyers to help detained immigrants. She’s also the host of the podcast, Tahmina Talks Immigration and an author and blogger. Tahmina is making a huge impact on protecting immigrant rights and lives and breathes immigration.In our conversation she shares why immigration became such a passion for her. Tahmina has been on the other side of the legal process and understands the long and complicated process immigrants go through. We also spoke about how immigration has changed and even become more difficult and expensive.It may have slipped under the radar for many Americans, however not too long ago, United States Citizenship and Immigration Service also known as USCIS, was at risk of completely grinding to a halt. The agency had announced that without more money from congress, they would have to furlough 13,400 employees. Tahmina breaks down that situation and what ultimately happened.
