No, what I would do is offer them emergency medical aid, food, and fuel and send them on their way. Alternatively, set up a processing centre off-shore, and house them there until you decide whether these people meet your criteria. Unfortunately, we have the Charter, and the SCC has ruled that these people have rights as soon as they come within its jurisdiction. I'm not opposed to helping these people - I'm just opposed to people that circumvent the system getting essentially an open-ended opportunity to freeload on the taxpayer. This situation cries out for the use of the "notwithstanding" clause.
