Can you imagine what it feels like to live in fear, or in persecution? Can you imagine what it means to hide with your little children under a fragile roof while war jets are flying over your home and bombing your street? Can you imagine being hunted by gangs who want to take your daughters to sell them, or who want to kill your father for leaving the gang?
Most of us are privileged to never have had to live in fear, and it is so hard for many of us to even imagine it.
On World Refugee Day let us remember that we continue to send the vulnerable, the weak, and the persecuted back to the US as we uphold the Safe Third Country Agreement.
