[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

"It's particularly troubling because there are thousands of deserving refugee claimants, many of them black and brown and poor, who are desperate to enter Canada and who face torture and execution in their homelands."

Outright lie. "Homelands" refers, in part, to the United States, based on what is all said in the article. Blacks here in America face TORTURE under the U.S. gov't?

Your reading comprehension needs some upgrading. What the author is saying is that while Canada is entertaining the refugees status of a few U.S. deserters, there are the black, brown and poor (i.e. Sudanese, Nigerians, etc.) who face torture and execution back home if they fail to recieve refugee status in time.
