There comes a time every once and a while when you encounter journalism at its best. That happens to be the case with this article (link below) by Jake
Halpern in the current New Yorker.
Halpern didn’t get to Vive, a safe house in Buffalo
committed to helping refugees who arrive at its door, in the days after
President Trump signed the first of his executive orders that cracked down on
illegal immigration. Halpern went there long before, and kept going back. He doesn’t
judge the people he meets. He listens, he travels with them. He follows their
lives, their ups and downs.
It’s as much about Canada, the new leader of the “free”
world, as Nicholas Kristof put it in a recent column (a few blog posts ago here
on “Run4YrLife”), as about the United States. It may not change your mind about
immigration issues, but it’s a helluva prescient piece of reporting. What is
needed.
