Summary
Can we truly understand what drives desperate families to risk everything at the border? Rachel Rutter, Executive Director of Project Libertad and CNN Hero, delivers a powerful reality check about America's immigration system. Her organization provides legal representation and wraparound services to unaccompanied immigrant children navigating a complex and often hostile immigration system. Rachel dispels common immigration myths and makes a compelling case for change. This conversation challenges us to examine our humanity and consider what it means to truly welcome the vulnerable among us.
