IFSI-USA at the Heart of the Massachusetts Migrant Humanitarian Crisis
Since the terrible event that occurred under the Del Rio bridge with migrants coming from South America, certain States of the United States of America have been a privileged point of departure for refugees and asylum seekers arriving by land borders. . Among these states, Massachusetts has statistically 1 immigrant out of every 6 residents and is therefore considerably affected by the humanitarian crisis generated by the incessant influx of migrants to these lands.
Everywhere in the cities, pockets of migrants request services and sometimes even roofs to spend the night there. Faced with this situation, the Governor of the State of Massachusetts cannot remain indifferent. Thus, on Tuesday August 8, he gave a conference where he declared that he took note of the seriousness of the situation and affirmed his determination to do everything to facilitate a rapid management of the problem. Accompanied by representatives from all sectors involved in the process of welcoming and integrating migrants, the Chief Executive of the American State of Massachusetts, Governor Maura Healey has launched an urgent appeal to the federal government for an increase in funds, actions and resources allocated to the service of immigrants in Massachusetts. The appeal also concerned the extension of work permits and the introduction of facilitation in the process of obtaining the work permit.
Among the great personalities who paraded on the podium, Dr. Geralde Gabeau of IFSI-USA was there with some immigrants whose background clearly demonstrates that immigration tends much more to enrich the community instead of impoverishing it. Too many brains that could be useful for the development of society are being lost due to the lack of services addressed to immigrants. Dr. Gabeau recognized this and reiterated his call to action to all organizations, institutions, elected officials and government authorities so that they can join forces in order to be able to rise to the height of the challenges posed. today by the humanitarian migrant crisis in Massachusetts that requires other responses.
Once again, IFSI-USA has risen to the forefront in defending the rights of migrants and affirming its firm desire to continue to do everything to facilitate the successful integration of migrants into the host society.
