Cabrini is, on an obvious level, a movie about the anti-Italian animus facing swarthy newcomers to America in the late 19th century. It tells the story of Mother Frances Xavier Cabrini, a Catholic religious sister who arrives in 1889 to serve the desperately poor Italian-American community in Five Points, New York. She encounters her fair share of bigotry, but the obstacles that repeatedly threaten to derail her efforts come more often from City Hall than from everyday New Yorkers. Starved for resources, Cabrini convinces a New York Times reporter to write about the slum—and an avalanche of do...

By Isabelle VELOSO VIEIRA Sciecq (France) (AFP) - "J'aime bien voir les mamies, ça me fait penser à mes parents". Dans les Deux-Sèvres, 15 mineurs non accompagnés (MNA) cohabitent avec des personnes âgées dans une résidence intergénérationnelle d'un nouveau genre, unique en France. Arrivés l'an dernier d'Égypte, de Côte d'Ivoire, du Bangladesh ou de Guinée, placés sous la protection du Département et d'abord hébergés dans des hôtels à Niort, ces jeunes migrants ont été accueillis en janvier dans l'établissement des Vignes, à Sciecq près de Niort, qui était menacé de fermeture faute de nouveaux...

By Jéromine Doux Paris (AFP) - Après avoir fouillé au fond d'un sac plastique, Omar Osman Adan, arrivé de Somalie à Mayotte en février, brandit le précieux sésame: un "récépissé constatant la reconnaissance d’une protection internationale" qui lui permet de rallier l'Hexagone. Mais le problème reste entier pour d'autres réfugiés comme lui: comment financer le voyage? "J'ai de quoi payer un billet d'avion" mais "comment faire pour aller en métropole ?", questionne en anglais le jeune homme qui ne parle pas un mot de français. A son arrivée à Mamoudzou, la capitale mahoraise, le jeune homme de 2...

An upset that reverberated around the cricket-watching world was made possible by America's most potent superpower: immigration. In case you haven't heard by now, the United States upset Pakistan at the T20 Cricket World Cup this past Thursday. The history of the two country's national cricket teams suggests that the win deserves a place in the annals of incredible American upsets on the international stage, alongside those pulled off by the 2018 Olympic curling team, the 1980 Olympic hockey team, and the 1950 World Cup soccer team#:~:text=On%2029%20June%201950%2C%20the,Horizonte%2C%20Minas%20...

Released this morning: The jobs report, released at 8:30 this morning, shows that in May employers added 272,000 jobs, up from the monthly average of 242,000 that's persisted for the first half of the year and far more than most economists predicted. In April, the unemployment rate was 3.9 percent—a bit higher than the 3.4 percent unemployment the year prior. In May, it slid up to 4 percent. "The headline number is a source for celebration for President [Joe] Biden, who frequently points to the strong job market when making the case to voters that he has handled the economy well," summarizes T...

Polling has opened in Ireland for the European Parliament elections, with a record number of far-right candidates on the ballot. Forteen MEPs will be elected to the EU Parliament, following election campaigning that has been dominated by controversy over rising numbers of asylum seekers and a severe shortage of affordable housing. The ruling coalition of Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and the Green Party has sought to ward off support for far-right parties by reducing welfare payments some Ukrainian refugees and removing migrant encampments across the country. Almost two-thirds of voters want tougher ...

This November, Arizonans will consider a ballot measure that would make it a state crime to cross the Arizona-Mexico border illegally. If it passes, law enforcement would be authorized to arrest people suspected of crossing the border illegally, and state judges would be able to order deportations. House Concurrent Resolution 2060, which passed the Arizona House yesterday 31–29 in a party-line vote, argues that Arizona "is being 'actually invaded' as defined in article I, section 10" of the U.S. Constitution. Along with empowering law enforcement in the state to arrest undocumented immigrants ...
