With immigration being such a focal point of discussion these days, immigrants are often reduced to statistics. The discussion primarily revolves around how they may or may not benefit America and the economy. FOBia seeks to go behind those stats and give a face to these immigrants it seeks to humanize the immigrant experience through a comedic lens. While we debate on what immigrants mean to America, FOBia attempts to answer what America means to immigrants.
