2 w. ago In our family, there’s been zero doubt about Diego Luna’s USMNT identity

The attacking midfielder’s path to representing the US was natural for him, even if it seemed unorthodox to othersLike many California-raised Mexican Americans, I’ve lost count of the times my family has gathered to watch a match between Mexico and the United States.

For a refugee who has pulled the body of their child from the rubble of their bombed-out home, or made a perilous journey alone as a young adult having lost their family, it certainly doesn’t feel this way.The government believes that to deter refugees from crossing the Channel in small boats, it must restrict their ability to reunite in Britain with their immediate family. It must also make it impossible for them to achieve settled status if they have ever claimed benefits or received a criminal record.Enver Solomon is chief executive of the Refugee Council Continue reading...
