Laura is not only the chair of the Immigration Department at Fredikson & Byron ,P.A. but has now co-edited and written the introduction of a must read book titled " Green Card Stories." As Laura has stated in the book, " Talk show hosts and radio shock jocks making their living by stoking people's fears, and people who come from foreign countries with different ethnic, cultural, and religious backgrounds are a natural target. These negative voices reinforce a wide range of prejudices and stereotypes. They do not , however, tell us anything about who these new immigrants really are, how they live their lives in the United States and what social and cultural contributions they make to American life." I am proud to say that as a radio host I'm not one of those. If it weren't for my grandfathers from Italy and Ireland and grandmothers from Russia and Germany, I would never had the opportunity to live my life her in America. With over 50 profiles of today's immigrants you as the reader will get a snapshot of these amazing individuals along with beautiful photography and heartfelt quotes. Personally I think "Green Card Stories" is a book that should be in all of our homes. An education we must not miss.
