Coup de coeur: Migration Information Source

Thank you, Boyfriend for sending me this NYT article about the Migration Information Source, an online magazine produced by the Migration Policy Institute. I have a feeling the Source is going to be the inspiration for many posts in the future, but for now check out their impressive section on refugees, asylum seekers and forced migration in general. I don't think I need to tell you guys that this is a topic near and dear to my heart :)
