The Chicago Tribune – U.S. Sets Up Hotline For Detained Immigrants
Federal immigration officials on Thursday set up a telephone hotline to ensure that people detained by local police taking part in a U.S. immigration enforcement program are properly informed of their rights. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency said it set up the hotline for people who “believe they may be U.S. citizens or victims of a crime” and were detained by state or local law enforcement agencies.
The Guardian – Latinos Loyal to Obama Despite Anger Over President’s Immigration Record
More than two-thirds of Latinos in the US disapprove of the Obama administration’s record of deporting illegal immigrants, according to a Pew report published on Wednesday. In spite of this, Obama and the Democrats continue to enjoy the overwhelming support of Latinos ahead of next year’s White House and Congressional elections.
Financial Post – International Workers Drawn to Canada
Workers from all over the world are increasingly targeting Canada to find jobs in the wake of sluggish economies elsewhere, according to some recruiters who report noticing a recent spike in the number of workers coming to Canada from struggling countries with high unemployment rates. “We started noticing it in 2010 [and] what was really noticeable was the number of people coming from Ireland,” says Sandra Miles, president of Vancouver-based Miles Employment Group. “I have never seen so many people from other parts of the world – from all over.”
The Seattle Times – Illegal Immigrants Pay Social Security Tax, Won’t Benefit

Those workers almost certainly will never see that money again. Social Security officials keep a record of wages that do not match up with real names and numbers in their system. The record is called the earnings suspense file.
National Post – Sanctions Against Iran Could Cost Canada Millions of Dollars in Investments
Quebec could lose millions of dollars of investments due to the latest Canadian sanctions against Iran, which halts the flow of migrant investors, experts said Tuesday. In November, Canada imposed its third round of sanctions against Tehran since July amid renewed suspicion over its nuclear program. The measures target “virtually all transactions” with Iran. Although there are exemptions to the rule, it has effectively barred Iranians seeking to immigrate to Canada from sending funds here as they cannot open a Canadian bank account, Montreal lawyer Vincent Valai told AFP.
The Globe and Mail – New Cathedral Signals Growth of Toronto’s Ethiopian Community
The story is one that has repeated itself often with every wave of immigration that has come to Toronto. For the first twenty years of its existence, for example, a different congregation met in a rented room over Coombe’s Drugstore on the south-east corner of Yonge Street and Richmond Street West. Today, that congregation meets in the gorgeous Holy Blossom Temple on Bathurst Street. As communities grow, so does the need for and desire to build larger, more awe-inspiring places to worship, signalling ‘concretely’ the deepening of roots in their new home.
