George Soros explains why he's investing $500 million in the refugee crisis

George Soros explains that he is giving $500 million of his own money to refugees to answer President Obama's call for private companies to help with the crisis. He intends to invest in startups and social impact issues as well as companies started by refugees themselves. He also intends for these investments to be profitable. His goal is to demonstrate that the private sector can make sustaining and enduring investments in ways that help immigrants.
