Boo hoo! Canada’s boy wonder, Justin Trudeau, has
immigration problems too, by Ann Corcoran, 11/4/18.
If
you’ve forgotten all about Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s now
infamous 2017 tweet inviting refugees to Canada to stick it to President Trump,
I’m here to remind you!
Canada’s
2019 election is expected to be contentious, to say the least, with immigration
at the forefront.
Soooo…
Trudeau now wants to speed up deportations, presumably to make it look like he
is not an immigration pushover.

Deportations of Undocumented Migrants
Canada’s border agency said Wednesday that it planned to increase its
deportations of undocumented migrants by 10,000 a year.
These
are to include not just failed refugees and asylum-seekers but those
authorities regard as national security threats.
“While
Canada is a humanitarian country that has welcomed many immigrants and
asylum-seekers over the years, those coming to our country are expected to
abide by our laws and processes,” a border agency spokesperson told the
state-run Canadian Broadcasting Corp.
There is a backlog of
about 18,000 migrants listed for deportation, with 5,300 so-called actionable
cases, meaning there are no legal appeals or other reasons for them to stay.
Opposition
conservatives call the number of asylum-seekers entering Canada through
unmanned U.S. border crossings a crisis. They say the government does not take
the matter seriously and has no plan. Liberals
call the border situation a challenge.

By
the way, fearing Trump, many who have gotten in to Canada illegally in the last
few years crossed in from the US.
His
deportations better send
them home to their own countries and not to the US.
