With the wall and the bans, everyone is talking about immigration as a "problem" without understanding what immigration in the US actually looks like. For the next 4 weeks, Frau is releasing a special series, starting with this episode about immigration in the US.

For the last few months, Odd and Rags have been interviewing immigrants from all over the country, who came to the US from all over the world, about their experience with the US Immigration system and their stories of becoming a part of America. The next month will feature conversations with people with incredibly different stories, even though they all ended up doing the same thing. Coming to the US to make a home, work, and become American in one way or another.

In this "Preface" episode, Odd and Rag explain why they started this series and all the listeners should take away from it. It's a completely different look at normal immigrants and how they've experienced the US, instead of focusing on economic implications, or opinions on politicians, this series is meant to relate this huge issue to the people in the middle of it.
