Guest: Michael Kagan, a professor of immigration law at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas.  Having a country to call home is not a given in this world.  In 2013 some 200,000 people born to Haitian immigrants in the Dominican Republic  suddenly found themselves stripped of any citizenship, any nation to call home.  They find themselves in limbo – potentially facing deportation to Haiti – a place they’ve never lived with a language they don’t speak.
