If they want to come back to Canada, they need to apply and do it legally. No more crossing multiple borders, overstaying visas or coming by boat.

I wonder if some of them went across the US border after starting in Mexico?

It's not fair. SNORT. Life isn't fair, especially when you break the law.

[Publius6961]

After seven years of being in Canada illegaly, committing a criminal act daily, they get caught.

Sympathy? Not here.
Foe every illegal, there are dozens waiting patiently to do the process legally. My sympathy is reserved for them. And for us, we who have to pay the price in so many ways.

Good riddance!

[Verginius Rufus]

Here's an idea. We can't do what Canada is doing since our illegal alien population is more than the total population of Portugal, but we have millions of illegal aliens who want to work, and France has millions of unassimilated North Africans who don't want to work. We could send our illegals to France to do the work the Algerians won't do.

"Shame on the Canadian government for deporting people who are working hard. We need those people here," Barata said.

Shame on you, Pedro, for supporting and encouraging criminal behavior.

Would you feel as cavalierly about my moving to portugal (assuming I wanted to) without the proper papers?

"We have an obligation to the hundreds of thousands of people who play by the rules," Immigration and Citizenship Minister Monte Solberg said Sunday on CTV's Question Period.

This makes our US government look very lame. If we had more politicians (other than Tancredo) that would state that America has an obligation to the millions of people who play by the rules, and even a hint of support from the executive branch; it would be refreshing.

LOL! I am not sure they could deport me. I was born a Canadian citizen so if I went back I could never be rendered stateless.

Canada is doing what our POS govt. refuses to do. How lame CORRUPT is our govt?

There, I fixed it for you. That's the word you were really wanting to use. LOL

Immigration Canada said there will not be an amnesty. The federal agency said they have a legal duty to remove people who have come to this country without following the proper procedures.

Memo to Immigration Canada,

Please call George Bush and explain this to him.

[Heartofsong83]

Far cry from what it was under the old Liberal government - they would have all been granted amnesty, citizenship and a Liberal membership card.

[NRA2BFree]

Thank you for correcting me. LOL!

Wow, a man who appreciates being corrected. LOL I better print this off and keep it. I'll probably never see that again. ;o)

[SUSSA]

Yeah, now we need a conservative government.

"She has no words to explain," Alves son Rafael Belchior translated.

Yeah, right. 7 years and no English. She did not want to stay to long.

[technomage]

Well, I will not hold my breath waiting to see if they will deport one Muslim.

Selective deportation to look tough!

[metmom]

"It's not fair," family friend Carla Dos Reis said, her voice trembling.

Ohhh, poor babies. Suck it up. If you're there (or here) illegally, expect to meet reality someday in the form of deportation. I'm not surprised at their spoiled, pampered reaction as much as the fact that Canada actually did this. When are we going to follow suit? It can't be soon enough in my book.

"We have an obligation to the hundreds of thousands of people who play by the rules," Immigration and Citizenship Minister Monte Solberg said Sunday on CTV's Question Period.

Well, if they were playing by the rules, they wouldn't be illegal, would they?

What am I missing?

[tcrlaf]

Get ready for an ABSOLUTE FLOOD of these tear-jerker pieces in the press, and how it's a violation of thier "Human Rights"....
