New Podcast: A Very Different Fourth of July
Fourth of July, when America declared independence from Britain in 1776, is an annual celebration synonymous with big public displays of patriotism, parades, outdoor barbecues, fireworks and family gatherings.
But this year, things are different.
America is convulsed by disease, rocked by protest against racism and consumed by a presidential race wherein the incumbent occupant of the White House has seemingly ceded any national leadership role in favour of appeasing his base.
Then there's the newly-announced immigration bans by the Trump administration that call into question the very notion of the American Dream.
Scott & Liam take stock of where America is as it celebrates this most awkward of birthdays and Fiona McEntee, Founding & Managing Attorney of McEntee Law Group, joins from Chicago to help us decipher Donald Trump's most recent immigration policies.
You can find out more about Fiona's children book, Our American Dream here and purchase it from Amazon US or Amazon UK.
Liam and Fiona also discussed some economic figures showcasing the net benefits of immigration to the US economy and you can read more on that here.
