Refugees and asylum seekers are confused in popular discourse with immigrants.

Traditionally, the U.S. has led the world in resettling refugees, but we cannot take them all. Evangeline Monroe, a retired foreign service officer, who has led many Osher courses on immigration, will discuss how the U.S. could address the humanitarian crisis at our southern border with measures that are humane and consistent with American values and interests.
