Le Devoir – « L’escalade »
En effet, rien ne justifie la détention et la séparation des familles à la frontière : 90 % des réfugiés se présentent à leurs audiences en cour. Rien ne justifie la détention de 15 000 mineurs dans des refuges inadaptés. Ou que des enfants brûlés par le soleil du désert, trempés par leur traversée du Rio Grande soient enfermés dans des hieleras, des cellules glaciales où ils sont contraints d’étaler du papier toilette par terre pour ne pas dormir à même le sol. Rien ne peut justifier qu’on leur administre des psychotropes pour les empêcher de pleurer, mais pas les antibiotiques qui auraient dû sauver la vie de ces deux petits, morts en détention le mois dernier. Rien, ne peut expliquer les agressions dénoncées par le rapport de l’Union américaine pour les libertés civiles (ACLU).

Washington Post – Trump’s Immigration Policy Has Foreign Tech Talent Looking North of the Border
Highly skilled foreign workers and the American firms that employ them are in a bit of a visa panic. President Trump has vowed to crack down on the H-1B visa program, which allows 85,000 foreigners per year to work in “specialty occupations” in the United States. But there are no new rules yet, creating a climate of uncertainty and fear, particularly in Silicon Valley. Canadian businesses sense an opportunity.
