50,000 and Counting: A Border Crisis Discussion
5940 Kelton Avenue, La Mesa, 91942
Cost: Free
Over 50,000 young Central American children have sought refugee status in the United States this year.
Two people close to the situation, Enrique Morones of the Border Angels/Angeles de la Frontera and Sr. Justine Church of the Interfaith Center for Worker Justice of San Diego County, will address the issues behind the headlines -- the politics and economics behind the exodus of refugees -- and suggest ways in which we may respond to the refugees with both compassion and practicality. Dr. Richard L. Short will moderate the conversation.
