Our President and CEO, Krish O’Mara Vignarajah, joined CNN today to talk about the situation at the border and the increasing number of unaccompanied migrant children arriving. We have to remember the rampant gang violence, political instability, and climate-fueled hurricanes that have ravaged Central America — if your house is on fire, you don’t ask for permission: you get out. The immediate focus has to be on welcoming our neighbors in need in an efficient and humanitarian way. | Global Refuge
