This is my “angry” episode where I discuss injustices, such as police on horses trampling janitors in Houston who were protesting for a living wage. I also explain why this is important to all of us, not just janitors in Houston.

I also discuss the web site: http://www.myvisajobs.com
which has an extensive database of jobs for foreigners in the United States.
