Скачать или смотреть Through Immigrant Eyes, S2E1: Texas' Inhumane Busing of Migrants to the Chicago Area

Welcome to 'Through Immigrant Eyes,' a podcast created by the Center for Immigrant Progress with the aim of amplifying and uplifting immigrant voices. As a grassroots organization, we believe that empowering our community begins by listening to their stories and experiences.

In April 2022, nearly two years ago, Texas Governor Greg Abbott began what his administration has very inhumanely referred to as 'the busing strategy.' He has regularly sent buses of recently arrived migrants, seeking asylum at the southern border, to major cities across the United States, including Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, and others.

In this episode, we talk to Irma Barrientos, Program Manager at Mano a Mano Family Resource Center, a nonprofit organization in Lake County that has been supporting newly arrived community members as they settle into their new homes. We also speak with Helena Olea, Deputy Director at Alianza Americas, a transnational organization working to provide a more dignified and just way of life for all people living in the Americas.
