The Renew Democracy Initiative and The Next Move are excited to bring you Older/Wiser with Linda Chavez. Linda is a veteran of multiple presidential administrations, author, and columnist.
On today’s episode, Linda speaks with veteran, immigration attorney, and MacArthur Genius Fellow Margaret Stock. A retired US Army Reserve lieutenant colonel, Margaret explains the plight of Afghan refugees left in limbo after America’s chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021. From bureaucratic failures to the shocking proposal to relocate Afghan refugees to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Linda and Margaret examine how US immigration policy is abandoning those who once worked alongside American troops and discuss what our nation can do better.
Editor’s Note: Since the recording of this episode, the Democratic Republic of the Congo has seen a major ebola outbreak, meaning relocation to the DRC could be a double death sentence for Afghan refugees.
