WORLD REFUGEE DAY: Why we need to welcome refugees
"...Yes, refugees bring a welcome and healthy diversity of food, culture and community to our towns and cities; and yes, by their very being, refugees affirm our identities as Americans. Historically speaking, the vast majority of us and our ancestors came to the U.S. fleeing something — poverty, famine, genocide, political repression.
But the primary reason we need to welcome refugees is simply this: Refugees renew our country, our economy and our virtues."
- RST CEO Aaron Rippenkroeger
