In this podcast, we talk to Barbara L Strack, a refugee expert who retired from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) in January 2018. She tells us all about the global refugee crisis, the legal definition of a refugee, the history of refugee resettlement programs here and abroad, refugees vs. asylum seekers, and much more. Find out what you can do to help.
Also check out her recent opinion piece in TIME Magazine about how the Trump administration is trying to mislead us about the refugee situation. https://time.com/author/barbara-strack/
