When I think of people fleeing to these sanctuary cities for safety or better lives, I cannot help but imagine that I would do the very same thing if I was in their position.

In the past, people from other countries would come to America for a better way of life. For more privileges, improved human rights, and to chase the American dream.…

Those who manage to be admitted into the U.S. do not face an easy transition. This is contrary to the falsehood that refugees will deplete American resources. It’s impossible to ignore the reality that refugees are not treated as humans.…

Shattered glasses, lifeless eyes, desperate crowds - these are the images seen by millions suffering in Syria, Sudan, Burma, Colombia, and a dozen other conflict zones around the world.
