What Will Happen to the Children?

June 20 has been designated as World Refugee Day. On this day, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees reported that, for the first time since World War II, the number of refugees worldwide has surged past 50 million. At the end of 2013 there were 51.2 million people who had been forced from their homes worldwide. This is six million more refugees than the UN reported at the end of 2012.

Christmas Hope

The Christmas story is a migration story. Not the story of Joseph and Mary having to return to Bethlehem for the census, which resulted in Jesus being born there.

War on Immigrants Replacing War on Drugs

In an effort to address the serious overcrowding in prisons in the United States, the federal government is ratcheting down a bit its War on Drugs. Recently US attorney General Eric Holder announced new sentencing directives for low-level drug offenders charged with crimes that aren’t gang-related or violent.  At the same time, the government has embarked on an unprecedented campaign to criminally prosecute undocumented immigrants crossing the border. As a result there is a new wave of …Read More
