Illegal Immigrants Chase False Hope to Canada (Meals delivered to theM taxi )
New York Times ^ | Sep. 21, 2007 | MONICA DAVEY and ABBY GOODNOUGH

WINDSOR, Ontario, Sept. 20 — Fleeing stepped-up sweeps by the American authorities, illegal immigrants to the United States, mostly Mexican, are arriving in growing numbers at the foot of the bridge in this Canadian border town seeking refugee status.

Still more immigrants, mostly Mexicans living illegally in Florida, have begun trying to make their way past America’s northern border at other locations, the majority of them flying into the airport in Toronto, Canadian officials said Thursday.

The arrivals here began suddenly three weeks ago, just a family or two at first, fueled by the notion — largely unfounded, the authorities here say — that Canada would grant them asylum.

I wonder who the entrepeuners are who are selling these twits a map to Windsor, the names of government and charitable agencies, and the names of companies in the area for $400. I wonder if I could sell the crimaliens here in Massghanistan similar information?

I wonder why these people aren’t staying home in Mexico to clean up their government, expell the drug lords, and improve living conditions there. Oh, that takes real courage and real work.

I’ll give them my Anti- American uncles address in Windsor. He’s always bashing the US about how it’s mean and nasty to the Illegals....

Canada can have them.

And Canada has only 30 or so million population which leaves a lot of unused land.

The problem the Mexicans will have there is that there aren't too many lawns to mow in the winter and not too many oranges or tomatoes to pick.

All this wasted energy. Here’s a novel idea...They should go back to Mexico and storm THEIR OWN gov’t and demand better living conditions.

Ms. Gonzalez said that she had worked in a grocery store in the United States but that her employers had been asking more and more questions about her documents and her legal status.

And this is all it took to convince her to self-deport?

Hey Canada!

These are not refugees, they are law breakers. They will disobey your laws like they did ours...But if you insist on granting them refugee status we'll be glad to send you 12+ million more.

Yep, self deported just because her employer quit intentionally looking the other way. Easy as that (and I'm sure that was your point).

Canada welcomed draft dodgers with open arms. Why shouldn’t they welcome these people too?

Outstanding, this should take care of all these news stories about how the U.S. dollar is trading on parity with the Canuck dollar in no time.

No lawns to mow but there are plenty of sidewalks that need the snow cleared. There are lots of tomatoes grown here (all Heinz ketchup sold in North America is made in Ontario) but they’re harvested by machine, and there are no oranges to pick but we grow plenty of apples, plums and peaches.
