Thank you so much for this clear piece, Sarah! I think a first step needs to be to change the narrative about who asylum seekers are to make people understand that they are people just like them who are looking for a safe place to live. Just like we owe a debt to the descendant of the slaves in the US, we owe a debt to many of those who flee here after we robbed their countries of resources and supported dictators.
I couldn't agree more, Annique. Presenting an honest narrative about asylum seekers as well as providing the historical context for why they are running are the two big underlying motivations for my book. I can only hope that I have successfully pulled it off. Also, that I get the book done and out into the world in time for the 2024 presidential race. Fingers crossed!!! So grateful for your support, Sarah!
