The population of St. Louis is on a downward trajectory.

Are immigrants the solution?

St. Louis city officials and business leaders want to attract thousands of Afghan refugees and immigrants to St. Louis. The Afghan families include men and women who worked for the U.S. military.

Many remain in refugee camps overseas, visas mired in red tape. The U.S. promised these military contractors that they'd bring them to America. 

Since the mid-1990s, thousands of Bosnians have settled in St. Louis, opening new businesses and reviving neighborhoods. Can St. Louis replicate the Bosnian immigrant experience with these new refugees? 


In "Gateway to A New Life," meet the people behind the Afghan Support Program and the resilient Afghans who are building new lives in St. Louis.
