Le Monde – A Calais, la France, à son tour construit un mur anti-migrants
« On ne respecte pas les valeurs de l’Europe en posant des grillages qu’on ne ferait pas pour des animaux ». C’est en ces termes que l’ancien ministre des affaires étrangères, Laurent Fabius, avait fait la leçon aux Hongrois, le 30 août 2015. A l’époque, la Hongrie érigeait un grillage à la frontière avec la Serbie. Un peu plus d’un an après, c’est au tour de la France de construire son mur anti-migrants, dans le prolongement d’un grillage de quatre mètres de haut, à Calais.
Calgary Herald – Little Syria: Calgarians Mobilized to Help Arriving Syrians
The Syrian Refugees Support Group Calgary (SRSG) served as something of an umbrella for a wide variety of volunteer efforts related to the Syrian newcomers. Founded by Saima Jamal and Sam Nammoura, a pair of community activists, SRSG’s most important early role was facilitating community donations by storing furniture, clothes and other items in a warehouse and distributing them as needed.

That’s one factor” […] McCallum said some of the internal rumblings are also about how to sell Canadians on the idea that more immigration is good for the country.
The Guardian – Ignore the Naysayers. America Can Handle 110,000 More Refugees
Barack Obama’s announcement that the United States proposes to admit 110,000 refugees over the course of the next year has elicited a furious reaction from some Republican leaders. This was predictable. […] Up to now, the United States has admitted a few more than 10,000. So far, at least, their resettlement in the United States has seemed to go very well, though Indiana Governor Mike Pence, Donald Trump’s running mate, has tried to keep them out of his state.
Le Figaro – Europe : Merkel enterre les « quotas » de réfugiés
La chancelière allemande a fait le constat de l’échec de ces mécanismes lors du sommet européen de Bratislava, ce vendredi. Elle avait tenté de les imposer à chacun des pays de l’UE au plus fort de l’exode syrien, suscitant la fureur des pays d’Europe orientale.
