How The Southern U.S. Border Has Become A Nearly Constant Humanitarian Crisis
NPRHow The Southern U.S. Border Has Become A Nearly Constant Humanitarian Crisis NPR's Audie Cornish speaks with Yale professor Alicia Schmidt Camacho and NPR correspondent Franco Ordoñez about Latin American migration into the U.S. and government policies trying to address it. ALICIA SCHMIDT CAMACHO: I see the United States continuing to cling to an outdated and dangerous playbook of migrant deterrence and mass expulsion. CORNISH: That's Alicia Schmidt Camacho, professor at Yale University. But at the local level, cities like mine in New Haven are creating programs that integrate undocumented people, new arrivals, refugees very successfully and find ways to provide services and relief to people in need but also find benefit from the extraordinary vitality of new migrants who build businesses, who create strong social networks that have uplifted cities like New Haven in a period of economic challenge.
