Abstract
I would like to begin by thanking LIRS for bringing us all together during this unique time to consider how we will respond to what is now the challenge of our time. The Refugee and Immigrants Center for Education and Legal Services, or RAICES, has been serving vulnerable populations of refugees and victims of torture since 1986. It is during these times of perceived crisis that we experience firsthand what our community and our country are all about. We also get to see what it means for those people around the world who long for the freedom and liberty that we so routinely take for granted. I am honored to be given this time to share with you what we have learned in Texas over the past few months.
