BS. They enter illegally because they don't qualify as a refugee and will get bounced if they try to apply as per process. They are cheating and need to be kicked back to wherever they came from immediately before entering Canada. Ya. Great for you. I'm one of those people that has to pay for my share AND yours. Glad you're happy being nothing but a net receiver of other people's hard work.2 points

I must say that I don't pay any attention any longer to foreign women in muslim-veils. I kind of think they are prisoners of their culture and don't even themselves consider themselves as oppressed in any way. On the contrary, every time I see a Finnish woman or at least a white woman wearing those hideous muslim-clothes it really puzzles me. Maybe there will be a day even that is so commonplace that I won't pay any attention any more. But why oh why does any white Finnish woman do anything as insane as wearing muslim-veils. It has increased very rapidly and I can tell you that not a day passes here in Helsinki, our capital, that I wouldn't see white women wearing muslim veils. Some of them even wear the full veil but as their hands are bare you can see that they are white. As long as they are adults and do it out of their free will it is ok but let's not be gullible. It doesn't stop there. The next step is that people complain about being offended by women who don't dress "properly". Btw, what is the situation in the Canadian cities? Is it totally normal to see white women wearing muslim-veils?2 points

But he avoided any mention of how Trudeau's open door policy has since January negatively impacted on the above system and rendered it a shambles. The system you talk of ha sin effect administratively collapsed. . As we speak the entire immigration system is collapsed. It Is a free for all with legitimate immigrants and refugees pushed to the side at this point while chaos reigns, The sheer escalation in numbers of I legal migrants headed to Canada who by law will not qualify as refugees and have NO kills is at 50,000 and rising in Montreal alone. The processing system of legitimate legal migrants has broken down as attention is being redirected towards illegal migrants from the US and its causing a domino effect to all services and functions within Immigration Canada that then hurt and harm legitimate immigrants and refugees. Trudeau's announcement in January that he would no turn anyone away immediately triggered an avalanche of illegal migrants fleeing the Trump crack down. His comments were irresponsible and clearly intended to pander to his ethnic constituency and his need to be universally liked and seen as a "cool alternative" to Trump. His target for immigration in Canada for 2017 was set at the arbitrary number of 300,000 with no rhyme or reason. Now he has at least 60,000 unskilled illegal migrants who have come in less than 3 months. There needs to be a serious wake up call because Trudeau is going to announce a blanket amnesty rather than deport Haitiens and illegal migrants rom the US-that is where we are headed and that is going to mean all legitimate immigrants should not follow the legal system and crash the doors and come in illegally. As for the word refugee its now used to apply not to refugees but anyone.. If liberals and leftists had their way anyone who wanted should come to Canada. This pie in the sky notion takes no consideration of what that means in terms of medical service costs, housing, education. . The same leftist liberals who welcome immigrants are the first to blame everyone for being racist if we criticize immigrants who refuse to assimilate or commit crime. As this country now houses illegals in tents it has NO plans, no funding, no programs, no policies. Do ou think a visible minority minister who was a refugee himself would deport any visible minority? Do you think Trudeau will risk his image deporting anyone? We are in the midst of ethnic pandering politicians turning a blind eye on a social phenomena that if not properly controlled will cause social conflict. Let's not pretend this country is a fantasy that has no limits to its freedoms and systems of benefits or employment.2 points

I have posted the statements of demographics experts a number of times which say that immigration will have little impact on our declining birthrate unless it rises to such a volume as to basically be replacing Canadians with foreigners. Well, the most economically successful immigrants - according to the government - come from Europe. So why not? A number of European countries have extremely high unemployment and so their young, educated people have little hope of getting decent jobs in the near future. Be honest. Any and all criticism of immigration seems like hidden racism to you, just like any and all criticism of Islam or Multiculturalism. Some immigrants come here and are successful. Some are not. In the old days, the ones who were not would leave. Now they stay around anyway, because the difference between the standard of living here, and that of their original countries is so enormous that even living on welfare here is better than the average where they came from. Marcus can say all he wants, but every public housing project is jammed with foreigners. And a very high percentage of people from certain areas of the world wind up living below the poverty line. More than 30% of Pakistani immigrants, 33% of Turks, and 34% of Iranians live below the poverty line. It's about 35% of Bangladeshis, Moroccans, Algerians and Afghans. 40% of Iraqis do. And that doesn't mean the rest are economically successful to the point they're paying much or any taxes, just that they're above the poverty line. Those and others are a drain on resources. For comparison purposes the figure is under 10% for people from the UK, Ireland, South Africa, the Phillipines and the Netherlands, and about 10% for Italy and Portugal with Indians being a bit higher. This is not an argument about colours. It's an argument about money and logic and common sense. That the cultural values of the people who are most economically succesful happen to fit in the best with ours is an added bonus. That they tend to be mostly white is coincidental to the conversation.2 points

About a dozen Moroccans were involved in the mass murders in Spain last week. Now police in Finland have arrested more Moroccans. Which brings to my mind the question of why all these Moroccans are in Europe in the first place. Why are they not returned to Morocco? And why are they murdering people in Europe? The liberal narrative with regard to refugees is one of hand-wringing guilt that we are so much better off than they are combined with a desperate need to prove how much they love diversity and hate racism. So the definition of what constitutes a 'refugee' continually expands in order to assuage western liberals' sense of ideological guilt. Canada, like Europe accepts tens of thousands of so-called refugees each year who are nothing of the sort. They're simply poor migrants, most from the Middle East and North Africa. Even if we know they're not refugees we're too busy wringing our hands and too guilty to actually get rid of them. The Germans and Swedes say they will get rid of migrants who are not legitimate but no one believes that. The first task of a government is to, in essence, protect the people, to keep the barbarians from getting over the wall, so to speak. We are the first generation which has put in place a political class without much interest in protecting the people. Indeed, who are more than willing to accept a certain number of casualties in pursuit of their diversity agenda and to assuage their self-loathing and guilt. The European people overwhelmingly disapprove of how their governments are handling the migrants, but, as in Canada, the liberal press heaps scorn and abuse on anyone who questions the government on this issue, accusing them of racism and heartlessness while streaming cheery pictures of happy, smiling refugees (and ignoring the sullen, violent ones). But make no mistake, those people who died in Spain, and in Finland were murdered by Muslim terrorists, but the Finnish and Spanish governments were complicit in their deaths. The government of Finland and Spain most certainly knew that the more Muslims you bring in the higher the certainty of terrorist incidents killing some of their people. They simply did not care. Any more than Canada's government, which knows terrorism and social disorder is inevitably going to come of bringing in massive numbers of Muslims. The idea that this won't happen in Canada, despite it happening in every single country which has accepted Muslim migrants is absurd and no serious person believes it. Therefore, we know the Canadian government is aware it is no more immune from terrorism than Spain or Finland or France. But if a few Canadians, or a few dozen, or a few hundred die because of bringing in massive numbers of religious fanatics, well, that's something the Left is more than willing to accept. The victims are only Canadian, after all, and the Left feels no particular national attachment to them. Besides, they can simply replace them by bringing in more immigrants and refugees...1 point

It costs about $500 US plus other fees for a Haitian refugee to get a work permit in the United States, with no guarantee of a TPS extension past 2017. So if you are a refugee with an uncertain future, and Canada's PM brags about how inviting and inclusive things are north of the border, that money might better be used for transportation to the Canadian promised land. It will at least buy more time as claims grind through Canada's constipated residency process. A Haitian woman in Florida explained that such illegal actions are rational for any human being forced to choose between bad or worse options. She may very well end up back in Haiti, but there is no reason to rush that as long as other delays/diversions are possible in the U.S. or Canada.1 point

That's not all some of them have arrived with... Refugee claimants found in possession of child porn at Quebec border Irregular indeed...1 point

All good question GostHacked. Watching Ralph Goodale now on Power and Politics. It appears some "irregular" refugee claimants have arrived at the border with fake documents. Goodale alluded to the fact the feds are looking at the possibility of human trafficking. Just "alluding", not being clear and straightforward as has been the case with Liberals on this file. There was also an incident of a box of confidential documents disappearing from the temporary CBSA office at the Lacolle border. This thing is looking like a mickey mouse operation which could explode in Trudeau's face. http://www.journaldemontreal.com/2017/08/17/saint-bernard-de-lacolle-des-documents-confidentiels-disparaissent-a-la-frontiere1 point

Technically, President Trump chose to extend the Haitian TPS for another six months until January 2018, mostly for politics in Florida. Affected Haitian refugees (in Florida and New York) can gamble and stay in the U.S., hoping that another extension is forthcoming or a path to permanent residency is created by Congress. Refugees from 13 nations are in varying stages of TPS extensions in the U.S. Mid-term elections could tilt the balance either way. PM Trudeau created another option out of thin air with a single Twitter post, because he wanted to criticize Trump / travel ban. Now Canada has to deal with more refugees and illegals than normal for such border crossing activity, which has happened before.1 point

Apparently anyone who disagrees with Trudeau's immigration and refugee policy in Canada is an angry, frustrated racist. I guess that's one way to shut down the dialogue on the issue. Trudeau says racists won't change Canada's openness to Immigrants "Irregular entry???" The coward can't even muster the words to call it what it is. Sad performance by our leader as usual.1 point

I believe this is referring to the Haitian Coup in 2004, when both the US and Canada implemented a deportation ban on refugees from Haiti, which was extended in 2010 after the earthquake there. The funny thing is, from what I can make out Trudeau himself cancelled that order last August, requiring Haitians to go back home. The US didn't cancel their order until May of this year, and the Haitians there decided to illegally enter Canada through the loophole created by the safe third country agreement rather than go home. Ironically, Trudeau apparently ordered the Haitians located in Canada to go back home, then promptly put out the welcome mat for the Haitians in the US affected by Trumps order to come on in.1 point

Well you have an adaptation of an expansive series of novels, to start, and now you have shows that are essentially fan fiction to those books because there's no source material anymore. If George R Martin was going to drag his heels on finishing the story then he shouldn't have sold the rights. I'm sure the Weiss and Benioff didn't sign up for this, that's why they're trying to get to their next project ASAP. If George can't put the story together in what 5 years? How do you expect them to finish the story as well as create amazing television in the process. As stupid as last night's premise was, it's amazing TV. No show on TV has ever done anything close to this.1 point

Well I probably wouldn't shoot them, I'd say arrest them and then tell them to go through a proper border crossing, then we should have an agreement with the US for them to be prosecuted for their crime in the US & we do the same for Canadians fleeing illegally into the US. We shouldn't even be looking at their status if they cross illegally, just arrest & send back. Eff this nonsense.1 point

These are Haitians who were granted temporary refuge in the USA after the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. The agreed time for them to stay in the US is about to run out so they're scared they have to go back to Haiti as agreed (the US has actually granted a few extensions due to hurricanes etc in Haiti) and they think Trump will send them back as agreed. So they run to Quebec because Haitians speak French. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/social-issues/federal-officials-dhs-to-extend-temporary-protected-status-to-haitians/2017/05/22/d2796824-3ef5-11e7-8c25-44d09ff5a4a8_story.html?utm_term=.8e4dc32c64051 point

Our country hasn't invaded Iraq or Afghanistan or anywhere else so the terrorist-attack was unfair also but that "you invaded our country, so I'm entitled to kill your people in your country"-defence is an excuse to start with. Now it has emerged that the guy had come to Germany first and proceeded from there to Sweden and Finland. Our security services had received a tip from the German authorities that this guy may be dangerous but that tip was largely ignored because of prioritisation; there are propbably so many tips that it is difficult to consider which ones should be taken more seriously than others.1 point

I don't deny that there are a lot of refugees coming into Quebec and that it is causing some local problems - so much that some resources have been moved from other areas - but a 'collapse of the immigration system' doesn't seem to be the least bit factual. The sources I prefer do not use emotional words like "collapse" or "chaos", etc. even when they describe the issues. They also describe steps the government is taking to alleviate the situation - something the right-wing on this board never do. That's why I consider what you wrote hyperbole.1 point

Let's address the above patronizing, bigoted, arrogant, bigoted, condescending comment with information Marcus is not allowed to discuss on this forum, You ask him why his handlers won't allow him to discuss in his script the facts I now present. 1-Palestinians are not allowed to become citizens of ANY Arab country in accordance with Arab League Decree 1547. 2-Jordan fro 1949 to 1967 until Arafat tried to overthrow King Hussein offered automatic citizenship to any non Jewish Palestinian and to this day calls itself and has always defined itself as a Palestinian state. It was in fact illegally created as a temporary Hashemite Kingdom in 90% of land promised by the League of Nations to start a Jewish state which would have been side by side a Muslim state in what is now Syria, Lebanon. 5-Modern Iran was a British colonial invention. Algeria Tunisia and Morrocco were made French Arab colonies and Libya was taken from Italy by the British, Somalia by the British from Italy, Egypt, Sudan, Jordan, Iraq. Saudi Arabia and what is now the UAE all made British puppets through monarchs made out of Arab chieftains. 6-The Arab League of Nations was a Franco-British colonial invention and Jews in Palestine were considered a people the British and French did not want allying with Muslims for fear the French and British would then not be needed and so flooded Palestine with non Palestinian Muslims to prevent a Jewish state. 7-Further to 6, the majority of so called Palestinians in the West Bank are descended from non Palestinian Muslims who entered Palestine no differently than Jews not born there did. 8-The moden Muslim-Jewish conflict which started in the 1920's was British and French incited using Arab puppets. When WW2 broke out, the Mullah of Jerusalem was an open and avid ally of Hitler living as a guest of Hitler in Berlin in a stolen Jewish home broadcasting to the Midle East each day urging Arabs to wipe out all Jews. Pro Hitler parties ran Syria, Egypt and Iraq and the Bath party of Syria and Iraq was in fact Nazi. Anwar Sadat and Gamel Nasser who were colonels in the Egyptian Army wore Hitler mustaches until their death and the Hitler uniform of riding pants. black boots, a lateral strap and covered holster. To this day the Egyptian, Syrian and Iraqi ceremonial uniforms remain Nazi including the jodphurs, riding poots and lateral strap as well as goosetepping. 10-Hezbollah, Hamas, in fact all Palestinian terror cells to this day goose step, use the Hitler salute and openly read Mein Kampf and praise. 11-The Hitler mustache was prevalent across the Arab world and in some places still is although the Stalin mustache also became popular. 12-German Nazis moved to Egypt, Syria, Iraq and ran their governments and openly led the Arab League in 1949, then in the the Suez Canal war. 13- In fact regular RAF pilots flew for the Egyptian army in 1949, a British general British colonels lead the Royal Jordanian Army in 1949, French generals assisted French speaking Arab legions and former Nazi officers led Egyptians, Syrians and Iraqis into battle. 14-Jews in fact were seen as the enemy of the colonialists who propped these Arab puppet nations. 15-To this day Arabs are corrupted manipulated not just by the EU, China, Russia, etc.. but by their own governments. 16-The fact is more Muslims die each other because of inter Muslim warfare then any clashes with Israelis. 17-Marcus won't acknowledge the term Palestinian only began to be used to describe people on the West Bank and in Gaza after Arafat failed to take over Jordan in a civil war and was exiled to Tunisia. 18-Marcus won't acknowledge that Arafat was Egyptian not Palestinian and spoke with a thick Egyptian accent his entire life. 19-Marcus won't acknowledge Arafat was hand picked by the Mullah of Jerusalem to continue thewar to exterminate Jews after WW2 because he was a drug lord organizing hash hish and heroin caravans from Iran, Iraq Syria, Jordan to Syrian ports and then to Marseilles, France where Arafat amassed billions in drug money. 20-Marcus won't acknowledge that La Duezieme Bureau, France's CIA protected Arafat from 1967 to his death in return for Arafat getting French coroporate deals across he Arab world. 21-Marcus won't admit that the script he uses actually was written by Nazis in Damascus at the end of WW2 reivising history to pretend Jews fleeing European colonial regimes and Musli regimes of the Arab League were not refugees but colonial invaders. 22-Marcus won't acknowledge the role the KGB played in replacing the Nazis as they died off coining the phrase Zionism is racism. 23-Marcus won't admit what religion he is, what country of origin he is from and what he was taught as a child about Jews.. 24- Marcus won't acknowledge Palestinians face severe travel restrictions throughout the Arab world an dcannot vote or run for office in national elections. and children born to Palestinians do not get citizenship in their host countries, violating Article 7 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. 26-Marcus won't acknowledge that since 1967: Jordan refused to allow Gazans who came after the Six Day War to become Jordanian citizen and there are over 250,00 Palestinians in Jordan not allowed o become citizens or government services. 27-Marcyus won't acknowledge that In 2012 Jordan passed a law limiting the number of Palestinian members of Parliament to less than 10% 28-Marcus won't acknowledge that since 2013: Jordan detains Palestinian refugees from Syria in camps separate from other refugees, and turns numerous back to Syria. 29-Marcus won't acknowledge that across the Arab world Palestinians not only are not allowed citizenship in Arab nations but to join their military, and attend universities, colleges or get college scholarships. 30-Marcus won't acknowledge Nasser of Egypt created the Gaza Strip as an open prison for Palestinians nor will he mention how since 2015 it refuses admission of Syrian refuges. 31-Marcus won't acknowledge in Lebanon Palestnians are banned from 73 job categories and defined as foreigner and not permitted for example to be lawyers, doctors journalists, pharmacists, own property, repair homes they rent and are kept under house arrest in camps. It also refuses refugees from Syria and sends them back. 32-Marcus won't acknowledge in 1991 Kuwait expelled 400,000 Palestinians and Libya expelled 30,000 in 1994-5, then in 2011 placed a head tax of $1,550 on Palestinians and since 2014 no Palestinian is allowed in Libya. 33-Marcus won't acknowledged in the 1950's Iraq expelled thousands of Palestinian workers who went on strike for more rages and during the Hussein regime were placed under house arrest and after Hussein's death 15,000 were expelled and then a further 25,000 fled since 2015 due to autrocities committed by Shiite Iraqis. 34-Marcus won't acknowledge the expulsion of Palestinians from Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Pakistan. Bangla Desh and how Muslim countries such as Malaysia, and Indonesia refuse them entry and if they enter Turkey or Iran they will immediately be arrested. In the world of Marcus the script is controlled so that the only people in the world to have done injustice to Palestinians are Israeli Jews and other Jews. In the world of Marcus the script is controlled so that there is no acknowledgment of Muslim/Aran injustice against Palestinians, Palestinian on Palestinian injustice or any cooperation or alliances between any Jew or Palestinian. n the world of Marcus every Jew hates Palestinians and is a racist for believing they have a right to live in a Jewish state. In the world of Marcus presenting an over used simple script with a one trick pony message is "sophisticated". I say again, any discussion on any conflict that only presents one side of the conflict simply incites the conflict, and that clearly is the agenda of Marcus.1 point

Perhaps if Conservatives stopped maligning Muslims every chance they got, they'd get more votes from them. Anyway, there is lots of talk about how awful it is to allow immigration, but we do have a declining birth rate as do many/most of the European countries from which some people think our immigrants should come. We can't keep our economic engine going without people, so is the idea that we raid European countries for their "educated white" people? Do you think those countries are going to be happy about that? What if they, in return, start raiding us for our "educated white" people? And, what makes anyone think that Canada is such a great place to be that enough people will come from 'preferred' countries to make up our shortfall anyway? Marcus has clearly demonstrated that our immigration system primarily brings in people who can make economic contribution to our country, regardless of their country of origin. Criticizing a policy that focuses on an immigrant's ability to be economically successful because it's letting in too many educated and economically viable people from countries where the skin color is predominantly not-white seems like hidden racism.1 point

Unfortunately, it's not just the Liberals. The Conservatives were little better. The NDP, of course, would double immigration. The media lavishes praise on politicians who like immigration, and curses on any who question it. And politicians, of whatever stripe, are whores. They will not take the hard path of laying out the foundation of their beliefs and persuading people they are right, especially in the face of thunderous condemnation from the national media. Instead they will take the easy path. Why do the Liberals bring in more Muslims? Here's a clue. Last election, 65% of Muslims voted Liberal, just 2% voted Conservative. The fact Muslims, most from the Middle East, are the least economically successful immigrants to Canada is irrelevant to the Liberals. It's all about votes.1 point

Everything about this country which is good owes itself to money. The Left, of course, don't like to admit that but it's true. You have to have economic success before you can have anything else good, before you can have social services the Left cherishes, for example, before you can have grandiose government funded projects and programs before you can have capable educational systems and institutions, and high quality health care. The higher the number of non-payers, or freeloaders in the system, the more the system bogs down, the higher taxes are raised on those remaining and the lower productivity plunges. Bringing over ever larger hordes of third world rabble who will not contribute much, if anything to the tax base, but will consume it instead, lowers the quality of living here.1 point
