More children than ever are crossing international borders alone to seek asylum. In the past decade, over a half-million children have fled from Central America to the United States seeking safety.
Join Shannon Gleeson from the Cornell University ILR School for an engaged dialogue with Chiara Galli, author of “Precarious Protections: Unaccompanied Minors Seeking Asylum in the United States.” Dr. Galli will discuss the formidable challenges that unaccompanied Central American immigrant youth navigate in the U.S. asylum process as well as the human toll of the U.S. immigration bureaucracy.
