Immigration & Business Meet @ The Marketplace Trade Show.

Top immigration official Jim Ziglar, Commissioner US Immigration & Naturalization Services will speak about the role immigration plays in the economic impact of South Florida. In particular, he will explain the new changes and regulations for visitors coming from Latin America & the Caribbean. On the other hand, Hector Barreto, Executive Director of the SBA at the Federal level, will discuss the new focus President G. W. Bush is giving small businesses, and the role the Small Business Administration Federal Agency (SBA-FA) is playing in the development of minority entrepreneurs in South Florida.

“We have asked new elect Colombian president Alvaro Uribe to be our guest of honor and ask US government publicly to concede the Colombian community in the nation the PTS (Permit Transitory Status). Colombians are experiencing very hard times and we want this nation to assimilate these hard-working immigrants and make it a part of our growing economy,” said Elizabeth Perez.
