America has a long history of being a welcoming, if imperfect, home to those who have been forcibly displaced from their countries of origin because of conflict. persecution, and violence.

Her unshakeable humanitarian values and understanding of the resettlement infrastructure, from government agencies to nonprofits and faith networks make her an outstanding champion of displaced families.
