Overview
Advances in science and technology in America depend heavily on high-skilled legal immigrants from across the globe. But our current immigration system takes an inhumane, unfair, and unwise approach toward these immigrants and their families. Alien: American Dream Denied spotlights the emotional journey of these high-skilled, documented immigrants as they seek permanence in a country that benefits from their talent, but denies them a home.
