You guys are cooking up these ridiculous and far-fetched examples and throwing them about a) as if they are categorical facts, and b) as if they make up a substantial number of the refugees who come into the country. I'm sure there aren't statistics kept on how old the refugees are and what their medical condition is upon arrival, but we do have a ballpark figure of what health services to refugees costs Canadians, and it's about 75 cents per Canadian. Peanuts.
He said 70 year olds from Europe not Somalia. If you read the link I posted the top source country is Hungary.
