In this episode, we speak with Dr. Irwin Redlener (@IrwinRedlenerMD) founder of the National Center for Disaster Preparedness at Columbia University’s Earth Institute (@columbia_ncdp) and co-founder of the Children’s Health Fund (@chfund) about the influx of unaccompanied minors into the US along the southern border. We discuss some of the complexities of the situation, how it has challenged administrations for decades, and what the future may hold.
