The committee has been very busy with the influx of Afghans, Ukrainians, Central Americans and other refugees and asylum seekers. Coming to the United States for any reason is complicated and just getting here is not the end of what surely has been a frightening journey.

They rely on humanitarian assistance for their survival, even now.
