The Think Tank discusses refugees in Arizona
A refugee is quite different from other immigrants to this country. This week, the Think Tank explores the experiences of refugees in Arizona, past and present. We have two guests:
- Jani Deng was a refugee from South Sudan who came to the U.S. about 20 years ago as one of a group then known as the Lost Boys of Sudan. These once “lost boys” are now middle-aged men. Their experiences may shed some light on how our current refugees will fare in the coming decades.
- Lisa Benson is a veteran foreign policy and national security researcher. Among other things, she works with current political refugees and can speak to their conditions.
