episode 26: A Desi Woman with Soniya Gokhale: A Conversation with Gitika Talwar of 'Immigration Voice'---Highly Skilled Immigrants in the US from India or High Tech 'Indentured Servitude?'
Gitika Talwar is a grassroots advocate with Immigration Voice or www.ImmigrationVoice.org, a U.S. based nonprofit organization representing the rights and interests of over 1.2 million immigrants, who contribute to the U.S. economy in highly skilled jobs. Gitika advocates for the pro-immigrant bipartisan legislation and Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act on behalf of Immigration Voice. Immigration Voice believes high-skilled legal immigrants strengthen the United States' economy and help advance America's intellectual capital. Their mission is to organize grassroots effort to resolve issues plaguing the employment-based immigration system of the U.S., empower immigrants to know their rights and seek a path to lawful permanent residency in the U.S., and to protect immigrant and American workers alike. So employers can not use immigrants with fewer rights to replace American workers. Soniya Gokhale (01:58): Gitika is a licensed psychologist, who earned her PhD in Maryland. Gitika, welcome to the show.
