Episode description

Turns out the pro-immigration and anti-immigration people *do* have one thing in common: neither group has fully considered the biggest element of coming to America—cost.

On average, it costs as much as $11,000 to gain full citizenship to the U.S., including green card, application for citizenship, legal fees and payments for processors.

So what's to be done? Enter: One Percent for America, a community of lenders, borrowers, and supporters helping to defray the costs of citizenship slowly but surely.

Come for the cool insight into a cool mission...stay for the epiphany I have around the 20-minute mark.
