>> it's gonna be on my terms, on how i want it to be >> boldly pursuing their dreams >> what did i do? >> the lives of american teenagers... on the edge of eighteen only on al jazeera america this is al jazeera america, live from new rah change of course. votes to join operations against isil in iraq and syria. despite a deadline set by pro democracy protestors hong kong's leader refusing to resign. tracking down as many as 100 people who may have come in contact with the ebola patient, in texas. it is expensive a little outdated but i know best.

a new ad hoping to reel in republican voters. we begin with a big development with the 6 led coalition. turkey's parliament voted to allow action against the group. the government now has more power to launch operations across it's borders in iraq and in syria. by officials say they have no plans to rush into battle. bernard smith has more. >> the legislation passed be i the parliament talks about terrorist groups. it make as reference are to isil. but that's not the only threat. there was at a threat from the party in

northern iraq. so the turkish government doesn't just see this as a fight against isil, it seems it as a fight against what it strifes as different terror is groups in syria and iraq. it meanings the military wouldn't necessarily just happen against a threat from isil, it could happen against any terrorist threat, as turkey sees it coming from syria or iraq. there's no limit, no suggestion on what foremost foreign troops take the opposition is not happy with this. and also there is a risk that the ruling party religious conservative support base will not also be happy, maybe concerned about the large scale presence if that is the case.

on troops on turkish soil. >> the free syrian army is providing groups on the ground by the u.s., led coalition. edger with added air support, they say defeating isil and not a done deal. nick reports as part of our special series five days of fear. many the largest city, the only place left where children can play is in rubble created by air strikes. aleppo is the strong hold, nearly half the city has been destroyed. the fighters need help. >> what will happen on the front line if you don't get more american help on the ground. >> isil will advance from the east, to be honest, the revolution will end in a month. >> 34-year-old leads 1,000 men fighting for control of northern aleppo. they call themselves the

fifth reege i don't know. the fighters are trained by the c.i.a. they need the u.s. and the u.s. needs them. if isil will be defeated these are the men who will have to do it. >> can the americans win this fight from the air? is. >> never. the air strikes are never enough. the air strikes -- this area around aleppo, are controlled by the army. >> for all the u.s. groups that fight as the free syrian army. he describes how the fsa is fighting simultaneously on two fronts. north of aehelp poe, fsa to the west, isil to the east, all the way to the turkish border. >> i am standing in turkey right now, that is syria right behind me, the town, isil took it over in january, that is

the flag fluttering above the town center, only about a mile and a half. >> isil is strong, it fights with equipment stole opinion the iraqi army. on the other side, the u.s. provides antimissiles fsa fighters it considers trot worthy. right now, the fsa is out manned and out gunned. >> the reality of the revolution is painful, the reality of the fsa is difficult, we have no choice but to take support from countries sympathetic with us. >> but supporting the fsa is not without risk, this video shows fsa fighter whose left moderate groups to join isil. the regime has a lot of weapons, and bombs, now it is time to put more weapons in the rightnd has.

>> not only weapons the u.s. air strikes need to expand and dramatically improve. have they helped with the fighting in. >> unfortunately no. because there isn't been any coordination, in terms of time or place. until the moderate fighters can push back those who suffer the most will be the people of aleppo. >> what is the condition of people living inside aleppo today? >> 20-year-old abu omar is an activist, we spoke to him by skype. >> we wake up in full bodies out from destroyed buildings. we have no ambulances and medicine, life is miserable. the u.s. must find and tape fighter whose will have to win two separate battles, until then, the misery will continue. >> nick joins us now from the phone in instanbul.

you have been reporting from the syria border for quite some time, there are a couple of interesting notes from your report just now, first of all, how will today's develop independents in turkey, impact the ability of the u.s. to take on isil? >> i think it is a dramatic development. turkey behind the scenes has already been helped the united states. that means we can talk about the base that they are going to launch air strikes from. and we will see some kind of military action, maybe not so overt, but some kind of action in syria, and iraq that will dramatically help on the grouped. because as turkey has been so effected and knows that border so well, the u.s. has been hoping that the border is controlled and that the turks really move on that area. >> one of the men we just heard from, said that american troops need to be on the ground to attack isil to really be

any type of effective. president obama has said time and time again, that won't happen, would the influx of turkish combat troops help in this regard? >> well, i am not sure we will see an influx of troops but i think the whole point of what thefsa is asking and what the u.s. is promising is more training, more sophisticated weapons and more pressure, maybe from turkey or from u.s. special operations forces. who will be working on the ground, and that's what they are asking for. a lot more coordination, and that will in their opinion, really help really defeat isil or at the very at least degrade along the border, but there's no one is under any illusion that you can do this quickly. lit take a long time to train fighters and to increase presence of turkish troops or u.s. troops in the area. and it will take a long time to simply get isil

out of the areas that it has embedded itself into. and that will take a long time, but again, the fsa is asking for that help, and it is also asking for an expansion of the air strikes against the government, which of course, the u.s. is not willing to do right now. >> nick, one thing i have found very surprising from your last report, you are speaking to a member of the free syrian army, saying that the u.s. led air strikes have not been coordinated with the free syrian army, if the u.s. government is coalitioned is depending so much on those troops on the ground. why aren't these being coordinated with that same group. >> it's a great question, and i think we should ask everyone in the white house the same thing. there is almost universal criticism of these air strikes within turkey, by these moderate fighters because they aren't as coordinated as these fighters need them to be. they are not as

expansive, and it is extraordinary, that the people will rely on to actually take on isil are in the loop when it comes to these air strikes and those are questions that they are asking, to ask the pent gone, and the state department. >> thank you so much. you can see more of nick's reporting from turkey tomorrow, a special report, five days of fear, escape from isil airs at 8:30 and 11:30 eastern. issue -- asking for a lead change of the chief secretary. to discuss one item and

this is the constitutional development of hong kong. quo have studies the letter in detail, and are now appointing the chief secretary to represent hong kong government, to meet with representatives of the federation of students to discuss constitutional development matters. >> they vow to enforce the demonstrations if he did not resign, threatening to surround his residents. so it shows no sign of coming to an end, more from hong kong. for a man whose position is in question, he was very calm, flanked by his chief secretary kerry lom, he said he was nominating his chief secretary to speak do the federation of students about electoral reform. now this was in response to a demand that they had

made earlier on in the day. terry lamb in turn said she was going to contact the federation and speak about electoral reforms as soon as possible. he also said that he was very proud of the way the protestors had handled themselves saying they were well behaved but he also said that he hoped the protests would end soon, as they were disrupting public life, and transportation. he reiterated again, that he was in favor to work with hong kong in order to achieve universal suffrage. now the offer to meet with hong kong chief executive hasn't deterred protestors from the street, demonstrators are divided though, on what to do next. >> the resignation of the chief executive has emerged as the first and foremost demand of these protestors. some have taken position in front of the office, prompting police to form lines and barricade the road. but the move reveals some

fractures within the mass movement, some say they would storm the building if he does not resign. a former leader of the domic party, he has been involved in the protests from the start. >> young activists think the government is slow to respond, so probably they will extend the scale. >> what form who further action they are going to take, there is consensus that they would not use violence. >> even if they don't, escalation can result in further arrests. >> i think the hong kong government is too irresponsible. which they never really respond to our demands. so i believe with the action toss go further than what we are doing currently. >> there is one thing for certain, even though beijing has been minimally engaged they are watching and watching very closely.

this is the chinese army headquarters here, right next to the protestors. the people on the mainland don't have the will for this kind of movement. a will, beijing is hoping won't move to the mainland and spread. al jazeera. honk con. in texas, ebola fears are now spreading if not the virus itself, today we learns that a man with ebola was in contact with as many as 100 people. health officials are reaching out to those vims to monitor them. heidi joe castro is life outside texas health presbyterian. heidi, are any other people, the ones dunkin' has come in contact with

so far showing symptoms? >> michael, the reassurance from health officials here, that no one else besides this one individual has shown any ebola symptoms. but as you said, 100 people have now have been contacted they are being investigated and they are being asked did you have direct contact with mr. duncan. did you have direct contact with someone else at a secondary contact that may have been in contact with him. now, the only four people are currently in quarantined and that is direct family members. they have been told to stay in their apartment, in fact, the texas health department issued an order for them to stay. siting reasons they would not cher about concerns they may not comply voluntarily, and now police we know have also been embedded in that apartment complex, where he stays over the weekend, as well as a guard who is monitoring the door to that unit, making sure no one comes in or out without

authorization. now, they must stay inside that apartment for 21 days,s and it is four people. the cdc is in charge of cliffing food and also cleaning up any waste items. a lot of questions about what -- how to ensure their privacy, or that they are getting what they need, plus maintaining public health. what can you tell us about the standard protocol about how health officials are handling this situation? >> well, it is these circles that investigators always look at. of course, it starts with the patient, then his immediate family, and then the outer circling. who those family members may have interacted with, and that's how we have got ton this 100 number. it is entirely typical, for that number to fluctuate, and to grow.

we are told it is not a cause for public alarm. even have minimal risk, someone who may have carried ebola, now we know that the health department has been divided into two teams and they are targeting two locations one the apartment complex where he was living and two, this hospital behind me, where duncan spent several hours in the emergency room. so now they are talking to healthcare workers as well as immediate family, and anyone who lives in that commute. >> you mentioned only a hand full of people have been quarantined in addition to mr. duncan a patient himself, are there any expectations from texas health officials that someone old could be quarantined? >> at this point, it is early to say that, we know of course it is just the four family members that are quarantined and because no one else has exhibited any symptoms and it typically takes ten to eight days for symptoms to occur, that's why right now it is just

wait and watch take people's temperatures twice a day, that is a way to ensure that symptoms are not arising. >> reporting life from dallas. coming up in about 15 minutes here in al jazeera america, we will talk to former u.s. surgeon general, and former director of the c. d.c., and look into what exactly constitutes contact, and then cans about the virus spreading here in the u.s. are getting blown out of proportion. right uh no the only drugs are both experiment stall and extremely scarce, but work continues on a vaccine. the growing outbreak has given rise to a growth industry in the pie owe tech section. invest tores are piling into tech small bio tech. sending share prices higher with some posting double different gapes. hof, likgapes

their sales were low, ranging from one to $4 million. but these small bio tech companies all with 100 employees or less, are under the gun to stop an epidemic. the world health organization and various u.s. agencies including the national institute of health and the u.s. defense department are pumping more than $300 million into these companies to accelerate their clip call trials of vaccines. new limpings just announced the food and drug administration has green lit the first phase of clinical trials for it's ebola vaccine. bio has been given more than 26 million-dollars from the national institute of health to accelerate development of drubs and tech mere rah which received $140 million in funding from the department of defense, says it has approval from u.s. and canadian authorities to start testing it's drug on those infected with ebola. >> it's a major gamble, while wall street makes

it's best on the small companies to develop a winning vaccine, testing can take years. sometimes up to a decade. before drugs can be used on the masses. once the drug is cleared for use, there's another hurdle, producing enough doses to accommodate demand. one privately held company made big news this summer, when two american missionaries recovered from ebola, after using it's experiment stall drug. >> i took an experiment stall drug. >> but doctors aren't sure whether it was the drug, the department of health and human services has already glymph the company $25 million to fast track. but the company has thin supplies. on it's website it says of august 12th the available supply has been exhausted. even more disheartening on the company's website under the question does z, manyapp work, the bluntry ply, we don't

know. >> this vaccine was manufactured in several places. >> how, one big giant may be ahead of the game, glasgow smith klein is already testing it's vaccine in the u.s. and u. k. the company is currently producing 10,000 doses of the vaccine for distribution it's the trial proves successful. al jazeera. >> it's being likened to turbo tax for immigration, the new site that's designed to make getting a visa a lot easier. and big business pushing back against vermont's new rules that all genetically modified food must be labeled.

the president smoke at northwestern university, he said americans should be proud of the economic accomplishments of the last six years that the u.s. has put more people back to work since the recession, than europe, japan, and every other advanced economy combined. over the past 4 1/2 years our businesses have created 10 million new jobs. the president says the policies have cut deficits by more than a half, and that america has grown into the largest oil producener the world. vermont has become the first state to mandate that all foods made with again netticly modified agreements are made as such. some major manufacturers are already pushing back. tom ackerman has more. >> and state of vermont takes pride in it's lush green mountains, and ben & jerries the locally made ice cream that is

sold around the world. now ben & jerries is promising to eliminate all genetically modified ingredients well before the man story law goes into effect. >> the company has been outspoken in fighting for the law. >> we buy up greedents from small holder cooperatives from c coco to vanilla and sugar. we think smaller scale is a better form of agriculture. so our concern is that this just further industrializes agriculture. >> but ben & jerry's position is at odds with the giant multinational company which owns it. it has joins other food manufacturers in defeating labeling initiatives in other states like california. but labeling was an easy sell in vermont. activists here like organic farmer and state senator say it's a matter

of upholding the consumer's right to know what they are eating. >> there's a lot of different farming techniques that people use, and people should have a right to know what those are. but in the specifics of gmos they have a right to know because of the environmental health consequences that gmos may have. >> dairy farmer says it is a scare tactics. without having to come up with hard evidence that they are harmful. >> if you don't base your findings on scientific fact, i don't know how you make that assumption. i think the consumeser being duped. >> but the obama administration is offing an alternative that it says could satisfy everybody. >> instead of a warning proud poses that companies mark their packages with an

electronic quick response code. that any small phone can link to a full list of ingredients. >> for an extended bar code, some kind of mechanism that people can use if they are interesting in knowing precisely what is in the product, they can have all the information. >> meanwhile, at least 20 more states have become battlegrounds over their own proposed gmo labeling laws. al jazeera, burlington vermont. >> the cdc is looking for dozens of people that may have come into contact with a patient in texas infected with ebola. a look at what it takes to track the people down when the former head of the c. d.c. joining us next. >> you shouldn't decide our future. >> and sparkky new ads from rock the vote, hoping to get young people to the polls but are they backfiring?

>> primetime new live as isil continues their brutal campaign, nick schifrin reports from the turkey - syria border... >> that's the black isil flag above the town center... >> five days of fear: escape from isil only on aljazeera america

welcome back to al jazeera america. the centers of disease control and prevention front and center. all in an effort to prevent a outbreak there. al jazeera joins froes the cvc headquarters. robert, how is the cdc tracking ebola here. >> well, they are doing it very strategically. with what they call a contact tracing. basically what they are doing is pushing out a wide net in the surrounding area where this infected patient has been. they are looking at any sort of contacts he has had, and contacts of contacts of contacts. that's literally what it is. each one of those persons that comes in close contact with the infected patient, which can mean shaking his hand, have

any body fluids off of him and on to the next person, what they will do is monitor those people, which is the incubation period for the ebola infection to aride. >> how is the case with this patient in dallas effects the agencies on going strategy? >> well, it's not necessarily effecting their strategy, but they are upping their communications with not only the public but the media. in fact, they announced daily tell briefings they are getting some pressure and criticism, as far as the handling of the case in dallas right now. specially the fact that the apartment that he was staying in, it wasn't even cleaned or all the clothes and the linens taken out, which has the body fluids. they are just starting to do that today. as i speak right now, so they are getting some criticism.

but remember this is the first time this has happened in the u.s., so i think everyone is taking it one step at a time, but earlier today, we talks to the chief medical officer, he explained an interesting thing, that if there was more funds then perhaps things would be more organized. >> i think we need to devote resources at home, and education, and also to bolster the funding for public health. public health at all levels i think are chronically underfunded so you hear, chronically underfunded we have heard that over the course of the last few months from local health officials and even from people trying to treat the situation in west africa. lack of paragraph, money, resources it is a chronic problem. >> robert ray reported from the headquarter in atlanta. a professor at the moore house school of medicine,

former u.s. surgeon general and former director of the c. d. c., thank you for joining us. i wonder you reaction, when you hear reports that ebola here in the u.s. has been diagnosed and that this patient may have been in contact with up to 100 people, what is your level of concern when you hear that knew? >> well, i have a very high level of concern, about the fact that we have a case of ebola in this country, and that this particular patient was seen at the hospital with a fever, but not kept under watch. and i understand that this is new to a lot of us here in the country, but we have to be vigilant with how we deal with patients in emergency room, especially finding out the tramp history, and in this case the patient told them i believe that he had traveled to liberia, i think when it comes to somebody with a fever that has that travel history, we have

to be very vigilant. >> when the cdc announces this case, it reminded the public that it is not an air born virus, it has to be transmitted from exchange of bodily fluids. how, we keep hearing more and more information about contact with individuals. what exactly is contact in terms of what the cdc is trying to trace. >> let me say first, contact with that which we are most concerned is contact with the bodily fluids of an individual, or with the surface on which that person may have been in contact possibly with fluids. so the first concern is that a perp was in contact, directly or indirectly, with fluids from a body with a person from ebola. however, if i am told that this person had a meeting in a room with 100 people, and i don't know the extent of that contact with them, then i think all of those people

have to be traced. and i think we have to monitor the extent of the contact. because until somebody with expertise interviews people, we can't make judgements about the risks that were associated with that contact. >> they also say that it is extremely difficult to contract ebola, because of the sperms in which you just spoke about, with that being said, do you think this growing concern especially here in america is blown out of proportion? or should this p very serious concern to the every day average american? >> number one, americans should be reassured that we have the ability to identify and contain ebola in this country. we have the ability to isolate patients like the patient in dallas. and we have the ability to make sure we identify people who have had risky contact with that person.

so when it comes to our public health knowledge and awareness and expertise, i think we should be reassured. however, i don't think we should take anything for granted. we should be hyper vigilant when it comes to not taking chances with people that show up with fevers that have traveled to the ebola zone. on the one hand, it is possible to blow concern out of proportion, however, it is really critical that we not miss the opportunity to prevent the spread of this disease. >> what can you tell us about treatment for ebola? we have had four individual whose have traveled to america with the virus already in their system being treated three of them have been released from treatment. can you give us specifics on how this patient in dallas may be treated for ebola. >> well, it's very difficult, because the first thing, of course, is to make sure that we provide supportive therapy. and that is replacing fluids. pairs with ebola lose a

lot of fluid through vomiting, diarrhea, and then later on bleeding. in the case of the patients who emery and nebraska i believe, we are not prepares to say the extent to which that treatment made the difference. now, remember, we are talking about a disease that in this particular case almost 40% of the people who contracted it have survived. now, when i was director of the c.d.c. and we had the outbreak in sky year, there were 315 cases and i belief 250 deaths. however, in this outbreak, there have been only about 50 a little over 50% fatality rate. so many people survive who didn't get the drug, these people survived they got the drug, there was one person that got the drug that did not survive. we are not in a position to make any judgements about the ethicacy of

zmapp. we are not really prepared so say it works in these three or four people, and therefore to say we have a treatment, we don't. >> i apologize, we have to leave it there, but it is good information, is that here in the u.s., much better prepared to deal with it than what we have seen. former u.s. surgeon general and also former director of the c.d.c. in today's power politics with only 32 days until the midterm election, the ad campaigns are heating up, and the organization rock the vote has just released it's newest batch of ads. five look at that, when i was young, when rock the vote just came out, it was great, i wonder how they are starting to evolve. >> one way is by doing a campaign before the midterms and the reason they are doing this is because they are trying to get younger people to participate in an election cycle where younger people usually don't.

it starts with the issue that stop as lot of younger people from voting and that is the difficulty of voting, watch this. >> sure, voting is a hassell, getting registered, and then making time to vote. but between golf clinic lunch at the club, i vote, because only educated people with life experience, should be voting, not kids that think they know everything. laws making it harder for rift raft to vote? absolutely. insulting kids an interesting theme, and that continues on the issue of another great concern to younger people, and that is student loans so watch the bankner this commercial. >> not going to let a bunching of kids whining about their student loans ruin my business. if you still live in your parents basement, you shouldn't decide our future, the truth is, you really don't matter. >> now, that doesn't get you fired up to vote, i think this next one might. if you aren canned about

peace around the world, watch the guy who pretends to be shopping for plants. >> i love to turn on the television and see bombs going off, children screaming, bombs pay for my lake house. >> bombs pay for my lake house. >> nice investment. so a little reverse psychology? reverse psychology, in terms of trying to unusual younger people saying it does matter, these are the folks that will have -- there is a more traditional rout, are you familiar with the show say yes to the dress. when they get together, and talk about planning your wedding so the college republicans put out a fairly controversial ad based on that theme, that the florida governors race. watch this. >> the rick scott is perfect. >> rick scott is a

trusting brand. >> he had new ideas that don't break your budget. >> i like the charlie crist. it is expensive a little outdated but i know best. >> now, this ad goes on for a minute. a lot of people are saying wait a second, this is an ad that suggests that women are superefficient, it down plays the ability of women to make their own decisions to the college republicans and rem party in general, have long gloaten in trouble for their views in women, are getting more trouble, because of the way they have portrayed young women. >> and getting women to the republican side has been an issue for some time. thank you. >> take a look at some other stories making news. michael, a tweet has sparked an investigation of the grand jury looking into the ferguson missouri shooting. the panel does not have enough evidence to indict darrel wilson.

the wide has since been deleted. grand jury proceedings are supposed to remain confidentble. another high school football player has died during a game, the third in the past week. collided with another player during a game last night, in suburban new york, the 16-year-old junior collapsed on the field and was rushed to a hospital where he later died. the principal said the entire school is in mourning. >> a lot of crying, a lot of hugging. a lot of questions. a lot of shock. everyone includes the doubts in the build willing trying to process what happened. >> two other high school playered died last friday, one in a game and the other in warm ups. an aabortion battle is brewing over a law that is said to go into effect. the law says abortion drugs can only be used according to strict fda guidance, but pro choice supporters say restricted their use would make abortions more difficult and dangerous. and residents of seattle might want to think twice

when throwing food scraps away doing it wrong can cost them. the city now has a new law that fines homeowners if theys to too much leftover food into the garbage instead of come post. the fine is only $1 but still big brother is now watching your trash. >> no surprise. seattle is very brock i when it comes to those issues how much does it cost to go through someone's trash. >> good point, michael. >> 43 students are missing in mexico after fighting with police during a protest. police have detained at least 20 officers in connection with their disappearance. rachel has more from mexico. going into dangerous territories dozens of student whose disappeared last friday. 160 security officers have been mobilized. the students went missing after municipal police and unidentified gunman attacked them in the southern city.

six were zillioned the local police have arrested many, but nub have turned up in jails. authorities suspect they may have been handed over to drug gang whose operate in the area. it's taken days to organize these forces who admit they have little information to go on. >> these are members of the state police, they have been joined by the military, they have stopped and decided that they are going to start searching on foot, in the mountains that surround this area, the the missing students. >> for the first time, they are joined by family members of the disappeared. he has had no proof of life, only a threatening phone call. >> they have discovered mass grays in this area, so we come here to find out any clues to the whereabouts of our kids.

>> he has believed the neither soldiers nor the police have any intelligence, desperate he asks anyone he comes across about his son, but nobody has seen him. we follow the group as they seem to be wandering aim leslie, without a plan. the families and their supporters are force to do most of the investigating. they have drawn up search routs and share them with the soldiers. two governing is offering $80,000 to anyone who can give information about the students. but hope of finding them alive is dwindling. >> the search is taking place in empty lots, mountains, places that would be ideal to hide opeople or bury bodies. >> but the families are not ready to give up. they say they will keep serging until they bring their children home.

getting abimmigration visa is a complicated process, but a new process says kit streamline the whole thing. a new film delling into the war in sudan, and some of the stars are normer soldiers from that country, we will hear from them coming up.

more than 100 million people come to the u.s. illegal each year, but the truth in government and lawyers fees and a stream of red tape, getting a visa is a tough process. but now a new website hopes to streamline the whole thing and cut costs. joining us from san francisco, the co founder and c.e. o. of the platform bridge u.s. good afternoon, i want to understand how this platform works, because we said earlier, how turbo tax is streamlined the tech service here in the u.s. >> that's exactly right,

so today's immigration process is confusing, time consuming and expensive. bridge u.s. is a software solution that makes it easy and affordable. a user comes to our website, answer add series of questions from a very similar interface. perhaps just loads a few documents and the software handles the rest. it confirms that you are eligible. and it packages that entire application including populating the government forms into one package that can be submitted to the government. so by stripping out the inefficiencies in the process and using software in an intelligent way, we are able to reduce the cost of working with a lawyer

what benefit is there to the u.s. to allow more people to go through your process and allow more people through the borders? >> we have a shortage in terms of the labor we need, to fill jobs in the u.s. we have far more stem job opportunities than we have people to fill them. those jobs create more jobs within the u.s. economy. and so by improving the process, and allowing companies small businesses mid size business that is might overwise may not aplay to fill those jobs by making the process earlier, we are empowering all businesses and vims to bring nationals to the country, and build jobs in the u.s., build the economy, through the foreign national labor pool. they say the help streamline the process is a boost to the economy? >> absolutely. you have people coming

from the u.s. staying in the u.s., so folks that we educate in our universities having them to stay and contribute. coming from outside the country that are well qualified educated able to contribute to jobs here in the u.s. and you have folks here. it is more expensive for american companies to hire nationals than americans. so if they could find americans to fill those unfortunately, because a lot of those can't be filled by americans they need to tap into the foreign national talent pool.

so on the individual side, the family green card process. that process because of the dozens and dozens of immigration reforms that are needed to complete, can take anywhere from week toss months. i saw my own family go through this. my mom didn't apply for years because the process was so technical. request a few clicks of a button, the process can be completed within hours. anywhere from 45 minutes to a couple hours, upload the documents and our software happenedling the rest. things like work visas are more complicated. we combine them with the software to streamline the process, and ensure that companies are getting the best possible
