The day Ottawa launched an immigration fraud tip line last September, a Toronto man boasted to his friends how he scammed the system to obtain his Canadian citizenship.

Thanks to a tip, the man was flagged the very next day at his citizenship ceremony in Scarborough just before he was to take his oath.

He was taken out of the queue, denied his citizenship and blacklisted by Citizenship and Immigration Canada as one of 11,000 individuals from 100 countries who have been implicated in cheating to apply for citizenship or to maintain resident status.

“We are taking action to strip citizenship and permanent residence status from people who don’t play by the rules and who lie or cheat to become a Canadian citizen,” Immigration Minister Jason Kenney told a news conference Monday.

The government plans to revoke the citizenship of 3,100 people — most from Persian Gulf states

Remember the guy who failed to set off a bomb in Times Square a while back? He was a just recently naturalized citizen from one of the Arab counties. He’s now doing life, but have we bothered to revoke his citizenship?

No, and Obamugabe will probably award him some sort of medal for his intentions.

The Islamic fanatics out on the street should be our target for now, but I have to agree. What are you hard working Americans doing supporting that piece of waste? He should be sent back to the place he came from.

Although the globe seems so small now; it would help if we knew how to move them to a different planet. I guess it's going to come down to global war.

Sad day when the Canadians have more guts than we do on something like this.

Oh Im so proud of me wee bit a Canadian blood...

We are simply blessed to have Stephen Harper as our Prime Minister at this time. Thank God!
