Of those, 25 million are refugees, half of whom are children. For Americans, this global migration crisis is most visible in Central America and on our southern border. The Trump administration has separated families and proposed new restrictions on asylum seekers, and it is considering further reductions in the number of refugees admitted to the United States. In contrast, some politicians are proposing repealing criminal sanctions for entering the United States illegally and including undocumented people in universal health care. Our country is polarized and Congress is paralyzed by disputes on Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), comprehensive immigration reform, and a border wall. In the midst of this global migration crisis and policy chaos, the University of Notre Dame and Georgetown University share a Catholic commitment to welcome the stranger and uphold the dignity of immigrants and refugees. It is through this lens that the two universities invited a rigorous examination and thoughtful dialogue regarding the U.S. response to a worldwide surge of forcibly displaced people. This Public Dialogue and Latino Leader Gathering did not simply explore the current tragedy or repeat partisan talking points, but rather helped us understand this moment and examine what needs to be done. It brought together several experienced public policy and community leaders with differing perspectives for a structured conversation around the following questions: What are the moral implications and human costs of specific U.S. action, or inaction, in response to the migration crisis on the U.S.-Mexico border? For children? For our nation? How did we get here, and what can be done on refugee policies? On immigration policies? How does the situation on the U.S.-Mexico border compare to other parts of the world? How are other countries and regions around the globe addressing the global migration crisis? What are the impacts of stalemate as leaders insist on totally conflicting approaches? Can there be compromise or comprehensive reform? What is wise and possible? What can Catholic universities, parishes, and individuals do to promote principled and effective paths forward on U.S. immigration and global refugee policies?
