       > Sunday’s Edicion Digital spotlighted a swim coach who has been
       training migrants how to navigate the Rio Grande and cross the
       U.S. border.
       >
       > "We now go live to Mario Veneiro, the swim coach for Club
       Mantarrayas (Club Stingray), who teaches his countrymen that are
       set to migrate, free of charge," Univision anchor Borja Voces
       said.
       >
       > Veneiro told viewers that "all types of people" join his
       course and "each day more are added" to his waitlist.
       >
       > Fellow anchor Carolina Sarassa asked Vaneiro about the process
       of training migrants to swim across currents.
       >
       > "Obviously, when people see the Rio Grande it looks very calm,
       still waters- like a pool. However, there are many currents
       which are very dangerous. What do you do so that your pool has
       turbulent waters like those of the Rio Grande and that people
       truly learn to swim against the current?" Sarassa asked.
       >
       > "We made a tunnel with some lanes inside the pool, and we
       placed 10 people with boards on each side, and we created
       turbulence (by) splashing water on the person going over the
       channel," Vaneiro replied.
       >
       > "It's good that you're telling us about this course, which has
       gone viral. Fathers, mothers, children who are thinking about
       coming to the United States and facing those very dangerous
       waters of (the Rio Grande). Thank you very much," Sarassa
       concluded the segment

       > ...
       > An aggressive effort in St. Louis is trying to lure Afghan
       refugees like Niazai. About 600 have arrived so far and another
       750 are expected later this year.
       >
       > Civic leaders are hopeful that over the next few years,
       thousands more will decide to relocate to the Midwestern city,
       helping to offset seven decades of population loss and
       rejuvenate urban neighborhoods — just as the arrival of Bosnian
       refugees did three decades ago.
       > ...
       > In the 1990s, St. Louis became America's most popular landing
       spot for Bosnians displaced by war in the former Yugoslavia.
       Among the estimated 300,000 who fled to the U.S., some 40,000
       now call St. Louis and the region home.
       > ...
       > St. Louis' Afghan Resettlement Initiative is backed by over $1
       million in donations and more than 800 volunteers, and it has
       support from the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of St. Louis, the
       International Institute of St. Louis and other nonprofit groups.
       Advocates say they’ve received no opposition to their efforts.

       it.”

       Detroit Refugee Network, with hopes of raising more than $1
       million to provide services such as housing, education,
       transportation and language training. About 250 Afghan refugees
       have settled in Detroit, with another 400 or so elsewhere in
       southeastern Michigan.

       Community Progress, studied two Detroit neighborhoods filled
       with immigrants from Bangladesh, Yemen, Mexico, and Central and
       South America. Those two neighborhoods have grown by nearly 50%
       in the past two decades or so.
       >
       > The result is less crime, well over 100 new businesses and
       reductions in home vacancies and tax foreclosures, the study
       found. Residents surveyed were more satisfied and optimistic
       than Detroit residents as a whole.
