The New York Times – California Sheriffs Oppose Bill on Illegal Immigrants
Some California sheriffs are pushing back against a proposed state law that would bar law enforcement officers from detaining illegal immigrants for deportation if they have not been charged with serious or violent crimes. […] The bill, which the Legislature sent on Friday to Gov. Jerry Brown, would create what opponents have called a “sanctuary” for illegal immigrants statewide. It sets up a new fight over immigration enforcement that comes as Republicans vow at their national convention in Florida to impose sanctions on states, cities and counties that adopt similar measures.
Windsor Star – Thousands March Against Greek Racism
Thousands of immigrants marched in Athens on Friday to protest police sweeps and a rash of racist attacks in Greece as the country struggles to pull itself out of a huge debt crisis. Greece is a major gateway for mostly Asian and African migrants trying to enter the European Union. They face increased hostility as the country struggles through its deepest post-Second World War recession and record unemployment, propelling the ultranationalist Golden Dawn party to parliament for the first time since the fall of a military junta in 1974.
Toronto Star – Iranian-Canadians Protest in Front of TD Bank
It was the first Toronto protest held in response to TD Bank Group’s decision to close the accounts of its Iranian customers, but, organizers agree, it likely won’t be the last. […]Niaz Salimi, one of the protest’s organizers, said many of those affected are new immigrants fleeing the Iranian regime, and that they are afraid to publicly criticize TD’s actions. […] Earlier this month, Iranian-Canadians ran into trouble again when trying to set up a charitable account to raise funds for those affected by an earthquake in northwest Iran. They were allegedly told that, because of the economic sanctions against Iran, they would not be able to open an account.

About 50 students are enrolled in the public board’s three-day program, in which student leaders offer advice to newcomers on everything from what you have to wear for gym class to where to turn for help.
Globe and Mail – Brazil on Job Hunt for Foreign Professionals
Brazil’s government is exploring ways to ease immigration rules in order to attract up to 10 times more foreign professionals and help spur economic growth, a senior official said. A lack of skilled workers is one of many bottlenecks that have lately brought the world’s sixth largest economy to a near standstill. From construction sites to oil rigs and technology operations, companies are struggling to find qualified workers to ramp up their operations in Brazil.
Canadian Lawyer Magazine – Federal Skilled Workers Gain Ground in Court Challenge
