FULL TITLE: Thousands of illegal immigrants who fled to Canada in fear of Trump are trapped in legal limbo without jobs, permanent homes or schools for their kids

Thousands of people who fled to Canada to escape President Donald Trump's crackdown on illegal migrants have become trapped in legal limbo because of an overburdened refugee system, struggling to find work, permanent housing or enrol their children in schools.

Refugee claims are taking longer to be completed than at any time in the past five years, according to previously unpublished Immigration and Refugee Board data provided to Reuters.

Those wait times are set to grow longer after the IRB in April allocated 'up to half' of its 127 tribunal members to focus on old cases.

The number of delayed hearings more than doubled from 2015 to 2016 and is on track to increase again this year.

Rich white Hollywood liberals talk the talk but the poor fools who believe in them walked the walk into oblivion in Canada.

Guess who got suckered? The very people the liberals claim to be helping unless “helping” means to get the non-productive ones out of their neighborhoods.

They did roll out the welcome mat to try to poke Trump in the eye. Be careful what you wish for.

Hey Comrade Trudeau Jr., “They’re your problem now, baby”. You said you’d take refugees fleeing “prosecution, terrorism and war” (none of which are happening to them in the US as opposed to their home countries.

Well comrade, your wish came true. Enjoy your camel-milking Somalis.

From the article:

Hearings are crucial to establishing a claimant´s legal status in Canada. Without that status, they struggle to convince employers to hire them or landlords to rent to them.

Claimants cannot access loans or student financial aid, or update academic or professional credentials to meet Canadian standards.

Canada's refugee system was struggling to process thousands of applications even before 3,500 asylum seekers began crossing the U.S. border on foot in January.

It lacks the manpower to complete security screenings for claimants and hear cases in a timely manner

There is apparently a big difference between the US immigration system and the Canadian immigration system.

Promises of these people do not mean anything. They just toss out stuff to see what will stick. They’re hypocrites from day one.

If Canada’s courts are anything like ours, the refuguees can sue the government and make bank.

Only if you believe the official numbers. It’s likely to be more like 2X that number squared.
