Migrants

Jorge Alvarenga and his mother hug at a family member's home near Washington July 31, 2022, after being separated for 17 years. Alvarenga's mother migrated to the U.S. from their native El Salvador for economic reasons and thanks to a course on Catholic social doctrine her son attended in Washington, she was able to travel from a nearby state to see him briefly after his classes ended.

Polish border guards stand near the barbed wire as migrants from the Middle East and elsewhere gather at the Belarus-Poland border near Grodno, Belarus, Monday, Nov. 8, 2021. Poland increased security at its border with Belarus, on the European Union's eastern border, after a large group of migrants in Belarus appeared to be congregating at a crossing point, officials said Monday. The development appeared to signal an escalation of a crisis that has being going on for months in which the autocratic regime of Belarus has encouraged migrants from the Middle East and elsewhere to illegally enter the European Union, at first through Lithuania and Latvia and now primarily through Poland.
