We must coordinate efforts with local communities with the infrastructure to support displaced immigrants and refugees, and coordinate efforts at all levels of government to provide humane conditions for everyone."
When it comes to children, he wants to"recruit and train enough teachers and clinicians to provide the capacity to support migrant and immigrant children, including bilingual professionals."
