War Resisters Remain in Canada with No Regrets - ABC News

I'm glad we didn't do the "evil" thing and send them back to where they stood a good chance of being killed for nothing. Aren't you?

We understand your embarrassment. I suspect there'll be lots more opportunities for you to experience that feeling. We're here for you.

Again: go ahead and color me redder than red with embarrassment.........just as long as YOU'RE having to deal with illegals just like we have had to. I'll take that deal!!

No surprise; failing to deal with a self created "illegal immigration" problem then gloating while Canada is forced to deal with a "refugee" problem it also created is considered normal and expected now. Goes back to that hypocrisy thing we discussed earlier.

No one is surprised you'd "take that deal" dealing with U.S. created mess has become the new normal for many countries.

Oh, there definitely are Canadians complaining about refugees. Please. Not all of us on this thread are Americans who know little about Canada.

How do you it? One brilliant post after another! I'm truly humbled.

"...that cold place..."? Which state do you live in?

Do you know what "refugee" means? At this time in history there is no such thing as an American refugee. Such a status does not exist for the citizens of the richest and most powerful and most productive and entitled country in the world.

The only way there can be American citizen refugees is if a disaster happens on continental USA such as destruction from war or natural disaster that destroys the country, makes it uninhabitable and displaces the people and they have no safe refuge to go to in USA and must abandon the country to seek survival and safe refuge elsewhere.

If American citizens presently living in other countries are forced to flee those countries because of disaster they still won't qualify as refugees in any other country because they already have the legal right to return to the richest and most powerful and most productive and entitled country in the world.

You were provided a link to the article, maybe you should read it.
Wow, you are getting the Haitians? I would take the Somalis over those and that is not a compliment to the Haitians!

I thought I read that we have been or will start to use drones for that border since a wall isn't as practical.

How any American is bashing on Canada is beyond me. Canada has been a good neighbor for a very long time. They are our first cousins if not closer. I travel a lot and run into Canadians abroad. We always get along fine.
I don't cheer them having to deal with refugees or illegals. Our politicians ignored the problem for far too long. It was all a harmless crime, until it became a very expensive harmless crime.

I hope the Canadian people are more prepared than Germany was...

Illegal border crossings could create 'urgent need' to revisit policy, Ahmed Hussen was warned in March - Politics - CBC News
There's really no way to prepare, other than to vet them. Keep in mind that when the crap hits the fan those people will just as easily come right back when the grass is greener here.

So, basically it was never a harmless crime.
