Maybe they're taking their time and vetting the right way like they did with the Syrian refuge that killed a Canadian little girl.


Border Security Minister Bill Blair apologizes for saying majority of asylum seekers had left

Confusion over the number of irregular migrants that have been removed from Canada led to an apology Monday from Border Security Minister Bill Blair — and attracted fresh calls from Opposition MPs for more action to address ongoing border woes.

Over the weekend, Blair created a hornet's nest of criticism when he told Global News in an interview that the "overwhelming majority" of asylum seekers who have crossed irregularly into Canada over the last 21 months have left the country.

But the government's own numbers tell a different story.

Newly released figures show Canadian officials have removed only a handful of the hundreds of irregular migrants who arrived in Canada while they were already facing deportation orders from the United States.
The numbers, tabled recently in the House of Commons, show nearly 900 irregular migrants intercepted by the Mounties in Canada since April 2017 were already under removal orders issued by American authorities.

As of late June, only six of these people had been removed from Canada.

Meanwhile, the overall number of irregular migrants who have been deported or removed from Canada also remains low.

Since early 2017, more than 34,000 asylum seekers have crossed into Canada through unofficial points. To date, only 398 — or about one per cent — have been removed.
Blair issued an apology Monday afternoon, saying he "clearly misspoke" when he said the majority of asylum seekers have left the country.

"They have not. They await disposition of their claim. Sorry for the obvious confusion that I caused," he said.

Later, he explained to reporters that he was trying to explain a different point, but that he "did so inadequately" and immediately took steps to clarify his remarks and apologize, first in a tweet on Sunday and later in the formal statement issued Monday afternoon.

As for why the number of removals remains so low, Blair said that border officials can only remove failed refugee claimants after they have exhausted all legal options available to try for refugee status. These options include applications to the Immigration and Refugee Board, appeals and other administrative measures.

Canada has a legal responsibility under United Nations obligations to allow refugee claimants access to all these legal avenues.

"They've made application and are entitled to due process," Blair said.

"Only upon the conclusion of all of those processes can steps then be taken to remove those individuals that are not eligible. That's what I was trying to explain but did so poorly on Friday."

Conservative immigration critic Michelle Rempel says she believes the numbers suggest Canada's asylum system is being heavily backlogged by people who are not legitimate refugees.

The extensive processing backlog that exists for refugee claims is creating an incentive for people looking to take advantage of Canada's refugee system, knowing they could wait an average of 20 months before their refugee claims are processed, Rempel says.

"In a properly functioning asylum system, we should be prioritizing the world's most vulnerable, we should be processing asylum claims quickly and then removing people who don't have a legal reason to be in Canada," Rempel said.

"The fact that even those that have been processed and don't have a valid reason to be in Canada have not been removed is something that is concerning, because Canadians are footing the bill for them being in Canada."
She renewed calls for government to renegotiate the terms of the Safe Third Country agreement between Canada and the U.S. The agreement has been cited as a major factor in the ongoing stream of asylum seekers crossing the border through non-official entry points.

The agreement prevents asylum seekers from asking for refugee protection when they present themselves at an official port-of-entry, which is why thousands have crossed into Canada on foot.

NDP immigration critic Jenny Kwan says Canada should suspend the agreement altogether, negating the need for people to cross illegally.

"It's almost been two years, and to this day government has been dealing with it, in my view, with a very ad hoc, reactionary approach and that clearly is not good enough," she said.
"The longer they refuse to act, the more they allow for those who want to fan division and fear to continue and that is bad for all of us."

The government has earmarked $74 million over the next two years to allow the arm's length board that processes refugee claims to hire more staff to help speed up finalizations of irregular migrant claims.

In addition, the government has been working with consulates and embassies in the U.S. and has sent officials to Nigeria — where the majority of asylum seekers are coming from this year — to try to get the message out that entering Canada irregularly is "not a free ticket" into the country.

Thanks for the CBC piece. It's a shame you couldn't take the time to read the one sentence you came up with, to introduce it.

Why should we read it if you don't?

This is the second time you've posted the same news item. And what I said the first time was that it takes about a year to administratively screen refugee applicants, schedule and hold hearing and - if the applicant is unsuccessful - to arrange a deportation.

By picking the date range "since April 2017", you practically guarantee that few deportations will have taken place of the subset you have arbitrarily chosen by the date of the article - June 2018.

You tried to be sneaky and sketchy with your "news item" the first time. You got caught out. You then lost your temper with me and put me on ignore. And then you tried running exactly the same "news item" again with exactly the same commentary. Again you got caught out and put in your place.

You then mouth off to OJ and disrespect him when he makes the same point as I made before and yet again now.

I guess this is your mighty follow-on to your failed thread about non veterans getting veterans benefits. What a disaster for you that was!!!!

And what is saddest of all is that the stats for this "news item" back-date to June 2018. So this item is 3 months out of date anyway.

I know you're not smart. But really.........

The Sun also has an article on this, of course much more reliable than the libtard CBC

You didn't read my response above, did you?

No. Because you were so excited to tell everybody that you had found a Sun article which said exactly what the OP had already posted a week ago and also yesterday. You should take the day off - assuming that your mom will allow you to skip the chores - to celebrate what a smartie you are.

Man deported six times accused of killing three


LOS ANGELES — A man who was deported from the United States six times was expected in court Wednesday to face charges after police say he killed three people and injured four in attacks targeting sleeping homeless men in California.
Investigators believe Ramon Escobar, 47, began attacking the men at random on Sept. 8, shortly after he arrived in California from Houston, where he’s considered a person of interest in the disappearance of his uncle and aunt.
Escobar, who was believed homeless himself, likely targeted victims to rob them, Los Angeles police Capt. William Hayes told reporters Tuesday.
Detectives have seized a wooden baseball bat and bolt cutters that they believe were used to bludgeon men as they lay sleeping on the beach or on the street in Los Angeles and suburban Santa Monica, police said. All but one of the men was homeless.

Escobar was arrested Monday and was expected to be charged with murder and attempted murder as early as Wednesday, followed by his arraignment.

It wasn’t immediately known whether Escobar had an attorney who could speak for him.

Escobar was being held without bail but U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officials have filed a detainer seeking to take him into custody if he is released, the agency said.

Escobar was first ordered removed from the country in 1988 and was deported to his native El Salvador six times between 1997 and 2011, ICE said in a statement Tuesday night.
He was released from ICE custody last year after successfully appealing his latest immigration case, ICE said. The agency didn’t indicate his current legal status.

However, Escobar has six felony convictions for burglary and illegal reentry, ICE said.
Escobar spent five years in prison for robbery starting in the mid-1990s, Hayes said. Records in Texas show Escobar has had arrests for vehicle burglary, trespassing, failure to stop, public intoxication and two assaults, most recently in November 2017. That case was described as a misdemeanour.
Texas authorities also want to talk to Escobar about the disappearances late last month of 60-year-old Dina Escobar and her brother, 65-year-old Rogelio Escobar, Houston police said in a statement.

Dina Escobar’s burned van was found in Galveston, Texas, a few days after she went looking for her brother. She was last seen Aug. 28, two days after her brother vanished, the statement said.

Dina Escobar’s daughter, Ligia Salamanca, told KTRK-TV in Houston earlier Tuesday that her cousin, Ramon Escobar, had never come across as violent and wasn’t a source of trouble for the family.
“She loved him as she would a son,” Salamanca said of her mother’s devotion to Ramon Escobar.

Salamanca said he had been looking for work and needed
