The Iraq Refugee Crisis – The World’s Largest Movement of Refugees Since 1948, with Joe and Ivy Pompei.

Since the beginning of the US invasion in 2003, over 2000 Iraqis have been forced to flee to neighboring countries; another 2.7 million Iraqis have been internally displaced from their homes and neighborhoods. The US response to this crisis has been underwhelming. In 2007 only 1600 Iraqis were offered asylum in the US. Learn about this humanitarian crisis and what you can do to make a difference.
