Washington (AFP) - New restrictions by President Joe Biden have brought a sharp drop in the number of migrants trying to cross the Mexican border, the White House said Wednesday, as it sought to turn the tables on an issue dear to rival Donald Trump. Biden earlier this month issued an order to shut down the border to asylum seekers once daily limits are hit, bringing anger from the left wing of his Democratic Party base. Since the rules went into effect, the Border Patrol has had an average of 2,400 encounters a day, the lowest level since January 2021, before Biden took over from Trump, the D...

As population and economic downturns hit many parts of the American heartland, some policy analysts and elected officials have begun to throw their support behind place-based visas that would bring high-skilled immigrants to those areas facing decline or stagnation. The idea got another nod this weekend. The U.S. Conference of Mayors—a nonpartisan organization of mayors and other elected officials who represent cities with populations of 30,000 or more—called on federal lawmakers to establish a "heartland visa" that would bring high-skilled immigrants and immigrant entrepreneurs to communities...

“What the hell is a climate migrant? I don't know,” Dominic Kniveton, a professor of climate change and society at the UK’s University of Sussex, says with a hint of a smile. “That all depends on who is asking and who is determining the rules.” Immigration and climate change are two hot-topic political issues - with concerns about the former fuelling far-right gains in the EU’s recent election, as some voters back tougher rules. The climate crisis is slowly making more and more places uninhabitable due to extreme weather and a lack of ways to make an income, and it’s often assumed this will le...

The H-1B visa about-face: "What I want to do and what I will do is, you graduate from a college, I think you should get automatically, as part of your diploma, a green card to be able to stay in this country," former President Donald Trump told The All-In Podcast. "And that includes junior colleges, too. Anybody graduates from a college, you go in there for two years or four years. If you graduate or you get a doctorate degree from a college, you should be able to stay in this country." One of the podcast's co-hosts had asked him to "promise" to give people like them (venture capitalists and e...

Washington (AFP) - Donald Trump said he wants to grant green cards to foreign graduates from US colleges, in an apparent softening of his typically hard-line view on immigration, a key election issue. The Republican candidate made the remarks in a podcast published Thursday, days after President Joe Biden announced a citizenship pathway for immigrants married to US nationals, counterbalancing his recent crackdown on illegal border crossings. "What I want to do and what I will do is, you graduate from a college, I think you should get automatically as part of your diploma a green card to be abl...

Tijuana (Mexico) (AFP) - From Algeria, Syria, Yemen and Afghanistan, citizens of distant, Muslim countries wait for US asylum at a shelter in the Mexican border city of Tijuana -- more used to seeing migrants from Latin America than the Middle East. At the Assabil Inn, Mexico's first shelter catering for US-bound Muslim migrants, the backstories of the guests are as varied as the assortment of languages they speak. "Almost everybody follows the same faith. So it feels like you're among your brothers and sisters," Maitham Alojaili, a 26-year-old who fled civil war-wrecked Sudan, told AFP before...
