As the child of parents who came to Canada as asylum seekers, I feel it is important to limit the fraudulent refugee claims. A very large portion of them are people are migrating for economic reasons and not because they are truly being persecuted at home.
What's better? Having 10,000 claims (and subsequent hearings) and letting 10% of them stay.... or having 5,000 claims (and subsequent hearings) and letting 20% of them stay? As long as the legitimate asylum seekers are still being heard, then I think this is a good thing. I guess we'll have to wait and see how it plays out.
