       Government opens new pathway for refugees who can fill labour
       shortages

       > The government is opening up a new immigration stream focusing
       on refugees but putting the focus on the skills they’re bringing
       to Canada, instead of the violence or persecution they’re
       fleeing.
       >
       > Immigration Minister Sean Fraser said Monday the new pathway
       will welcome up to 2,000 refugees per year, starting this
       summer. The government has already expanded other economic
       immigration streams to refugees, but this new program will be
       dedicated to refugees who also bring economic skills.
       >
       > In a speech to the Empire Club in Toronto, Fraser said
       refugees can be economic immigrants as well, because they often
       bring important skills and could fill some of the thousands of
       jobs available in Canada now.

       humanitarian reasons, we can demonstrate to the world that they

       suitcase,” he said.

       > “I don’t think we have to take it as a given that we live in a
       world where refugee camps are something we accept as normal,”he
       said. “The reality is if we do the right thing, we’re able to
       also serve our self-interest.”

       Court finally understands what I have been saying since 2015:

       > THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — The Netherlands' top
       administrative court ruled Wednesday that immigration
       authorities can't send migrants back to Italy, because they face
       possible human rights violations there — a decision that will
       likely put further pressure on the strained Dutch asylum system.
       >
       > The ruling came in cases brought by two migrants, a Nigerian
       and a man who claims to be from Eritrea. Both entered Europe via
       Italy. The Nigerian applied for asylum three times in Italy
       before applying in the Netherlands, and the other man arrived in
       Italy but didn't seek asylum there, according to the Council of
       State.
       > ...
       > “Without reception, there is a genuine risk that their basic
       needs, such as shelter, food and running water, will not be met,
       which is a human rights violation,” the Council of State said in
       a statement.
       >
       > The decision will likely serve as a precedent and prevent the
       return to Italy of other migrants who sought asylum in the
       Netherlands after traveling through Italy.
       > ...
       > The Dutch government sought last year to cut the number of
       migrants entering the Netherlands by restricting family members
       from joining asylum-seekers who have been granted residency, but
       the move was scrapped after courts ruled it unlawful.

       have played a critical role in the city’s response to migrants
       being dropped off in New York City, and at full scale, this

       while also having the potential to expand and house more.

       potentially have to spend, and we can put it back in the pockets
       of everyday New Yorkers, everyday houses of worship instead of
       putting it in the pockets of corporations, and some of those
       corporations come from outside of our city.

       to bring basement apartments typically deemed illegal, up to
       code.
       >
       > "First of all, it’s cheaper and it’s an investment for us to
       go to a family and assist them instead of placing people in
       large congregate settings or all these emergency hotels," he
       said.

       > The New York Post reported that the city’s Office of
       Management and Budget pays about $380 a night for a household to
       eat, sleep and get services at hotels turned into shelters.
       Under Adam’s new plan, houses of worship would be significantly
       cheaper at about $125 per night.
