> Univision airs segment on teaching migrants how to swim across
the Rio Grande River
> ...
> 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

This is what should be happening all over NATO:

--- Quote ---
> St. Louis seeking to boost population with Afghan refugees
> ...
> 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.
> ...
> “There’s a mutual need. We have been stagnant,” Schlichter
said. “With this one-time opportunity with Afghan refugees
ending up somewhere in this country, we should take advantage of
it.”
> ...
> St. Louis isn’t the only city with a declining population
trying to attract Afghan refugees.
> ...
> Detroit corporate and community leaders in April launched the
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.
> ...
> Tobocman and Alan Mallach, a senior fellow with the Center for
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.

positions at its Waukesha plant, Husco International executives
leaped at the opportunity to recruit refugees from Afghanistan —
and the manufacturer has filled many of its openings.

Hopefully a precedent for eventually millions of others:

--- Quote ---
> Hong Kong activist granted political asylum by Sweden in
security law first for EU
> ...
> Sweden has granted political asylum to a Hong Kong journalist
and activist, ruling that he would otherwise "risk arrest" in
the city for activities that would be "considered in breach of
the national security law".
>
> The Swedish Migration Agency made the ruling in April, but
Narayan Liu, who was born in Taiwan but raised in Hong Kong, is
now going public with the news - having received his residency
documents this month.
>
> It is believed to be the first asylum award for a Hongkonger
in the European Union to explicitly cite the national security
law, which Beijing rolled out in June 2020.
> ...
> Liu said he was "surprised" that the ruling had referred to
the national security law in detail. He said he had since been
inundated with congratulations from other Hong Kong campaigners,
and "hopes that it shows others can do this too".
> ...
> Eva Pils, a professor at King's College London specialising in
human rights, law, and society in China, said the mounting
arrests in Hong Kong will "sadly strengthen the case for asylum
to be given to those who get out".

> On Wednesday, Reps. Lou Correa (D-CA), Zoe Lofgren (D-CA),
Norma Torres (D-CA), Jesus Garcia (D-IL), Adriano Espaillat
(D-NY), and Grace Meng (D-NY) announced their legislation that
would allow millions of illegal aliens every year to secure
green cards and eventually naturalized American citizenship.
--- End Quote ---
Thank you to all Reps listed above!
--- Quote ---
> “The bill would allow applicants who entered the United States
at least seven years prior to the application date,” a news
release from Correa’s office states. “This law would establish a
permanent rolling registry that would be renewed daily.”
>
> “Now is the time to pass legislation in the House and Senate,”
Correa said.
