CARSON, Calif. --Baggio Husidic escaped war-torn Yugoslavia as a child in the early-90's long before he was a staple for the LA Galaxy.
The United States' open-door policy to refugees helped the Husidic family prosper in the Chicago area and ultimately helped Baggio become one of the most consistent midfielders in Major League Soccer. The native of Bosnia-Herzegovina is now calling on the U.S. government to act on behalf of Syrian refugees.
Husidic recent spoke with TRT World about the cause in the video above.
