Refugees cost us money, that is a fact. Refugees who are denied services that you and I take for granted because we have jobs, training etc end up costing us more money, that is a fact.

Canada has public health care. Not giving someone care they need does what? Makes them sicker. Unless I totally misunderstand how doctors, hospitals and medicine works, people who are sicker take more resources to treat.

If these people were not eventually going to get treatment, then doing it this way makes a little bit of financial sense, but since they are (in the vast majority of cases), then it doesn't make sense at all.
