White House says plans to address causes of migration show results<\/a><\/p>\n

The White House’s strategy for curbing migration to the United States from Central America zeroes in on job creation, economic investment and support for human rights. Biden administration officials say it is showing results, but analysts caution against unrealistic expectations. Aline Barros, VOA\u2019s immigration reporter reports.<\/p>\n

From Titanic travelers to textile tycoons, Arab Americans have long been part of the American story<\/a><\/p>\n

The term slacks, meaning pants worn during relaxation activities, was coined by an Arab American. Joseph Haggar, a Lebanese immigrant, founded the iconic Haggar men\u2019s clothing brand in 1926. \u201cHe settled in Texas, and he started this pant company that was extremely successful in the 20th century,\u201d says Diana Abouali, director of the Arab American National Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. \u201cHe also revolutionized the way that pants and clothing were mass produced.\u201d VOA\u2019s Dora Mekouar has the story.<\/p>\n

UK lawmakers debate controversial plan to send migrants to Rwanda<\/a><\/p>\n

Lawmakers debated the government’s plan to start sending undocumented migrants to Rwanda. The controversial bill is expected to finally pass later this week.<\/p>\n

Immigration around the world<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cyprus suspends processing of Syrian asylum applications<\/a><\/p>\n

Cyprus said Saturday it’s suspending the processing of all asylum applications by Syrian nationals because large numbers of refugees from the war-torn country continue to reach the island nation by boat, primarily from Lebanon. In a written statement, the Cypriot government said the suspension is also partly because of ongoing efforts to get the European Union to redesignate some areas of the war-torn country as safe zones to enable repatriations. The Associated Press reports.<\/p>\n

Young Sudanese refugees cope with loss, long for peace<\/a><\/p>\n

The baby was a newborn when the war broke out in Sudan. No one knew how old she was because her biological mother was missing. A 20-year-old refugee, Ghufran Hamed Al-Nour, took responsibility for the baby, referred to as Deborah in this report. “I feel like I am her mother,” Ghufran said. “I feel pity for her for the things we went through in Sudan.” Sheila Ponnie reports for VOA from South Sudan.<\/p>\n

News brief<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2014 Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas delivered a statement<\/a> at a Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs hearing on the fiscal 2025 budget request for the Department of Homeland Security.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur immigration system, however, is fundamentally broken. Only Congress can fix it. Congress has not updated our immigration enforcement laws since 1996 \u2013 28 years ago. And, only Congress can deliver on our need for more border patrol agents, asylum officers and immigration judges, facilities, and technology.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
