| Seminar Background
Globalization is the buzzword of the modern
age and the international community. In the new millennium,
international migration and immigration have become imperative
topics for businesses and individuals.
Immigration shapes and determines the future
of the world and bridges the gap between the developed and the
developing nations. The process of globalization, the development
of communications, and demographic transition, combined with
economic and political crises in many developing countries, has
increased the pace of international migration. In contrast
with earlier periods, the number of immigrants from non-European
countries entering the United States has increased significantly.
The best avenue open to immigrants is
entrepreneurship. The self-employment of minority groups is the
best strategy for social and economic mobility, advantageous to
both the recipient country and the new immigrants. Through their
knowledge, skills and economic activities, immigrant entrepreneurs
play a significant role in the economic development of the United
States.
As such, obtaining adequate information on
immigration and entrepreneurship is crucial to the future
immigrant. In this seminar, Dr. Shahin Motallebi, an
immigration attorney with offices in Los Angeles, California, will
discuss crucial issues on immigration to the United States. During
the forum discussion the audience will be invited to raise issues
and to participate in the discussion.
