This Reuters article published last weeks contained an astonishing sentence. Here it is in full: Amnesty International and other groups are pressuring the Canadian government to abandon the [Canada-U.S. Safe Third Country Agreement], arguing the United States is not safe for refugees. That single sentence has impacted me in ways that are difficult to articulate. My parents were children of the Great Depression, and they came of age during World War II.
