Actually what is worse is the pirates that prey on these people. That in itself is worthy of making it much more difficult.
They, those on that boat or at least those controlling the boat to make their loot, came here not because we were first on the list but because we were deemed the easiest targets. |
Without posting a link the average over the years for acceptance of refugee claims (from all countries) in Canada is around 50%. So, at least half of these claimants are not refugees.
Does that sound like a good system? An effective system? A fair system? No, it is a crappy system. 50% of claimants are not deemed to be refugees. However, 100% are deemed refugees when WE, the Canadian government picks them from refugee camps or accepts refugees from applications from abroad. Now that sounds like a much fairer system.
