New US immigration policies have created a humanitarian emergency at the border and throughout the region. Asylum seekers are being sent back to dangerous cities in Mexico and other countries in the region wracked by violence. Meanwhile at the US-Mexico border, thousands of people languish near international bridges without access to medical care or basic services.
Join MSF for a discussion about helping people whose lives are threatened by increasingly restrictive immigration policies imposed by the US and Mexico. Participants include Avril Benoît, executive director of MSF-USA, Denise Gilman, director of the Immigration Clinic at the University of Texas Law School, Adriana Quiroga, community organizer at The Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services (RAICES), Gordon Finkbeiner, field coordinator for MSF's migrant project in Mexico, and Samuel Almeida, regional deputy head of mission for MSF in Mexico. Carlos Sanchez, senior editor at Texas Monthly, will moderate the discussion.
