Topaz Posted September 15, 2009 Report Posted September 15, 2009 The Afghans that help with missions for our military are going to be able to streamline through immigration and become Canadians. There may be nothing to this but I feel there's an opportunity for someone to enter Canada that shouldn't be here. All one has to do is have no connections to terrorists and work for the military and get a free pass to this country and then become an active terrorists. Bush sr. did the same thing when they had Iraqis come to the US after Desert Storm and after 9/11 they worry how many terrorists were in the country. http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/stor...?hub=TopStories Quote
bush_cheney2004 Posted September 15, 2009 Report Posted September 15, 2009 ....Bush sr. did the same thing when they had Iraqis come to the US after Desert Storm and after 9/11 they worry how many terrorists were in the country. What does Bush Sr. and Iraqis have to do with Canada? Maybe you want to keep out Hmong, Vietnamese, Thais, Philippinos, and Cubans too? Just another reason why......305,000,000 instead of 34,000,000.

Which is quite different from what you said. Quote

Is it just me or does anyone else see alittle contradiction here...Topaz are you not one of those that are advocating to bring young Mr Khadr back into the country..."you know an already proven terrorist of sorts"....but your again'st bringing someone back from afghanistan that has helped out our Mission by risking thier lives for our soldiers....because they might become a terrorist.....

wyly Posted September 16, 2009 Report Posted September 16, 2009 Well spotted. You have been promoted to the recce corps.... Kadr is a Canadian...we expect our government to look after us and see we are treated fairly something the US government does for all it's citizens regardless what they have done... unless the afghans are legitimate refugees running for their lives they can qualify to enter Canada like any immigrant...the danger is letting in those who are no better than the Taliban...we've let in people wanted for genocide in Rwanda on the same grounds, thes types we don't want...

Who's Doing What? Posted September 17, 2009 Report Posted September 17, 2009 (edited) So, a terrorist can "help" our cause in Afghanistan by "turning in" a few Taliban that he really doesn't care about, and then get fast tracked into our country to lie in wait as part of a sleeper cell? I don't like this one bit. Edited September 17, 2009 by Who's Doing What? Quote Harper differed with his party on some key policy issues; in 1995, for example, he was one of only two Reform MPs to vote in favour of federal legislation requiring owners to register their guns. http://www.mapleleafweb.com/election/bio/harper.html "You've got to remember that west of Winnipeg the ridings the Liberals hold are dominated by people who are either recent Asian immigrants or recent migrants from eastern Canada: people who live in ghettoes and who are not integrated into western Canadian society." (Stephen Harper, Report Newsmagazine, January 22, 2001)

Omar Khadr, is not a Canadian Canadians don't try and blow up their own soldiers. Any Canadian that tries is no longer a Canadian. As to your second point. Your criticism is valid except that in order to fix it we'd have to abolish the Canadian refugee system. Yes Canada has let in war criminals, hell even nazis. But we did so not knowing they were. in a refugee situation crimes committed are rarely known until after the conflict has been resolved. to be able to screen all individual of crimes committed before we'd have to wait until the conflict was resolved negating the need for refuge.

Smallc Posted September 18, 2009 Report Posted September 18, 2009 Omar Khadr, is not a CanadianCanadians don't try and blow up their own soldiers. Any Canadian that tries is no longer a Canadian. First, he didn't try to blow up his own soldiers. That doesn't excuse his action though....it also doesn't excuse his citizenship. Quote
