Each of the people interviewed is a leader in the Salvadoran / Central American refugee movement.

Americans at the Gate
Unlike the 1930s, when the United States tragically failed to open its doors to Europeans fleeing Nazism, the country admitted over three million refugees during the Cold War. This dramatic reversal gave rise to intense political and cultural battles, pitting refugee advocates against determined opponents who at times successfully slowed admissions. The first comprehensive historical exploration of American refugee affairs from the midcentury to the present, Americans at the Gate explores the reasons behind the remarkable changes to American refugee policy, laws, and programs. Carl Bon Tempo looks at the Hungarian, Cuban, and Indochinese refugee crises, and he examines major pieces of legisl...
American Apathy
Christians who fled Nazi-dominated countries, constituted almost a third of the refugees who reached American shores in the period of Hitlerian tyranny. Their plight has been largely neglected by historians. The book focuses on the apathetic, if not hostile, attitude of the American Christian communities to the rescue, relief and resettlement of non-Jewish refugees. Analysing the operations of Christian relief agencies, the author offers, for the first time, a standard of comparison, and proves that even relief agencies were more befuddled and helpless toward their own co-religionists than were the Jewish organizations. This book is based mainly on neglected archival sources of American refugee relief agencies and will prove an essential guide to the student of this topic.--Dust jacket.
U.S. Refugee Resettlement Assistance
In recent years, the United States has admitted an increasingly diverse group of refugees and other humanitarian cases with a diverse set of needs. There seems to be broad consensus that the U.S. refugee resettlement assistance system is not adequately meeting the needs of these new arrivals and is ripe for reform. The National Security Council is leading an interagency review of refugee resettlement, the forthcoming results of which may further energize reform efforts. To help inform possible future efforts to reform the refugee resettlement assistance system, this report discusses existing resettlement assistance programs, key challenges and issues in providing effective assistance, and policy options to reform the current system.

"My Heart it is Delicious"
MY HEART IT IS DELICIOUS is the amazing and inspiring story of how a baker's dozen of Minnesota volunteers responded to an international health crisis half a world away and helped transform refugee medical care across the globe. When the American Refugee Committee of Minneapolis sent a small medical team to tend the sick and starving refugees on the war-torn Thai-Cambodian border in 1979, the fledging nonprofit had no idea its work would last into the twenty-first century. Neither did many of ARC's volunteer nurses and physicians, who realized when they returned to Minnesota that they and western medicine needed to change if non-English-speaking refugees had any hope of better health care upon their arrival in America. MY HEART IT IS DELICIOUS tells many stories of the American Refugee Committee, the Minneapolis Center for Victims of Torture, the Center for International Health, as well as of patients and practitioners like Dr. Walker.
