Coming to America
The murder of an Iraqi migrant in Texas has the Muslim community on edge.
We hear the story of Ahmed al-Jumaili, an Iraqi migrant who was shot dead in the Texas city of Dallas just three weeks after arriving in the United States. And, we examine a US Supreme Court case that considers whether an American citizen has a right to know why her husband has been barred from entering the country. Plus, a story about the Somali-Americans fighting to save their lifeline for sending cash to loved ones back home.
We visit the Louisiana radio station that prefers to broadcast 鈥榚n Franglais鈥�. And 鈥楾he Voice鈥� of South Africa - Vusi Mahlasela - celebrates 20 years of freedom.
