Refugees Can't Flee Recession

National Public Radio Weekend Edition Sunday host Liane Hansen interviewed Jamila Trindle, a translator and interpreter for the U.S. military in Iraq. He came to this country recently as a refugee and told his story, explaining how much more difficult the recession has made life for refugees. Jobs are hard to find, many refugees do not speak English and all have to adjust to life in a new country.

Read the transcript and listen to the story. Very interesting!
