Canada to get tough with Lankan asylum seekers' http://www.tamilstar.org/news/... 'Canada to take hard line with would-be migrants' - Canada's Immigration Minister.. intends to play hardball with 76 men from Sri Lanka who arrived on a rusty boat off Canada's West Coast, as the government battles the perception of Canada as a soft touch for asylum seekers. - The Conservative government has said it believes many refugee claims are bogus and has promised tougher legislation. “We don't want to develop a reputation of having a two-tier immigration system – one tier for legal, law-abiding immigrants who patiently wait to come to the country, and a second tier who seek to come through the back door, typically through the asylum system,” Mr. Kenney said in an interview. “We need to do a much better job of shutting the back door of immigration for those who seek to abuse that asylum system.” There are also reports that the migrants paid up to $45,000 (U.S.) each to make the treacherous journey. When asked where a Sri Lankan could get that kind of money, some Tamil Canadians noted that most Tamils have relatives abroad, 300,000 of whom live in Canada. The migrants' dramatic arrival is reminiscent of a wave of illegal Chinese migrants who sailed into Canadian waters off B.C. 10 years ago. They had paid human smugglers thousands of dollars to get them across the ocean. Eventually, more than half of those roughly 600 migrants were sent back to China. If the migrants are Tamils, one top concern for Canadian Immigration officials will be the threat that some are members of the Tamil Tigers, which Canada considers a terrorist organization. Any of the migrants who fought for the separatist Tigers would be barred from making a refugee claim. Mr. Kenney noted that asylum claims have increased by almost 70 per cent over the past two years, spurred by Canada's acceptance rate of about 40 per cent, which he said was twice that of other developed nations. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/... 76 TAMIL men found in ship off Vancouver Island 'Human smuggling suspected as 76 men found in ship off Vancouver Island' In Victoria, a CBSA official said at a news conference Saturday night that meeting the health needs of the passengers on board the ship while upholding the safety of Canadians is the first priority.' http://www.theprovince.com/news/Boat+with+ill...

They're the biggest economy and trading partner, after all. Americans have tightened the border since 9/11 and that has a domino effect for the Canadian Govt.

Is that what it is all about now, ever since that bumblovingpansy keating and his armani suits changed 'labour' and its blue collar appeal for good. Looks like all the labour team is full of ugly wombless women with balls between their hairy legs and men who take it for MAO & MAAM.
