At higher rates than ever seen before, refugees are being forcibly displaced from their homes and forced to come to a new country, many times America, to secure their basic freedoms; New Jersey alone is home to 2 million immigrants and refugees. If we are to thrive and progress as a nation, each individual must be given equal rights to education and the unobscured opportunity to secure a stable future.
