Refugee Madness - The Liberal Way
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now cut that out!
Can you believe it? Canada is still allowing refugee claimants to enter this country daily, many without any ID documents. They are fingerprinted, photographed - and released.
As many as 30 claimants arrive at Toronto's Pearson International airport nightly, go through the brief processing, and are released into Canadian society.
Oh yes, and they are also informed first - if they aren't already well coached - of where to go for a free ride on the backs of Canada's taxpayers, including welfare payments, housing, food, clothing, health care, transportation, education, and free legal aid.
According to the Chretien government - which aims to convert them into good Liberal voters - Canada will accept about 30,000 refugees this year. The government is pushing to increase that to 45,000 in the coming year. That's on top of their goal of 300,000 immigrants - despite our slumping economy.
Unfortunately, changes in the Immigration Act promoted by the likes of Prime Minister Chretien and Immigration Minister Elinor Caplan as "tough" are far from that.
In fact, some immigration officials complain that a new appeal procedure added to the system will drag out processing of refugee claims even more. It could add nine months to the year or so it takes to process the average case.
As it is, there are more than 27,000 refugee claimants loose somewhere in Canada who have been rejected as refugees. Yet they haven't been deported.
One is Nabil Al-Marabh, 35, who entered Canada six years ago as a refugee claimant. He is now held in the U.S. suspected of being a key operative in the Osama bin Laden network that launched attacks killing 5,000 innocent people Sept. 11.
Al-Marabh lived in Toronto's Parkdale area and is suspected as the man who obtained ID documents for the terrorists. According to Tom Godfrey, the Toronto Sun's top investigative reporter, Al-Marabh is suspected of being a member of bin Laden's "God's Brigade", a fanatical terrorist unit trained to conduct suicide attacks and bio-terrorism.
When the FBI arrested him in Chicago, he was out on bail in Canada for an earlier failed attempt to sneak into the U.S.
Another of bin Laden's terrorist gang who entered Canada as a refugee claimant and lived off Canada's taxpayers - thanks to our weak system was Ahmed Ressam.
An Algerian, he was trained at a bin Laden terrorist camp in Afghanistan, and was part of a bin Laden terrorist cell in Montreal. As such, he helped plan terrorist attacks aimed at both Canadian and U.S. targets.
Ressam was finally caught in late 1999 by U.S. border guards when he tried to drive into their country with a carload of explosives on his way to blow up passenger-packed Los Angeles airport buildings. He later testified about how Canada was targeted by terrorists because it was so easy to enter the country as a refugee claimant, be set free, and even be supported by Canada's taxpayers.
No wonder Canadian Alliance leader Stockwell Day proposed in the Commons recently that all undocumented refugee claimants be held in custody.
"We don't know what the added cost would be, but most Canadians do not put a price tag on safety and security," said the official opposition leader.
However, Caplan went wild. She angrily declared:
"We've had some dark moments in Canadian history, but the suggestion they're (the Alliance is) making about locking everybody up in penal colonies, it defies belief."
However, Day explained later that once the word went out that Canada locked up refugee claimants instead of letting them loose by the thousands to live happily off the taxpayers, perhaps terrorists and criminals might quit treating Canada as a sucker nation.
"Why should we have that reputation of being soft on people who could be potentially terrorist or involved in criminal activities?" he said.
Day was on target in his recommendation. But the Liberals have foisted a sieve-like immigration and refugee system on Canadians since 1965. And it's worked for them - giving them most of what they fondly call "the immigrant vote."
The only thing is: ruthless terrorists like bin Laden love it too. To them, it still says: Welcome to Canada, sucker nation of the world.

Until we close our border we are headed for self destruction.
Exactly what I have been saying for the last 8 years!

That may be the case, but how many "Greendales" do you think there are in this country? I wouldn't read too much into it. Not every coincidence is a correlation.

-- True, not every coincidence is a correlation, but it is interesting, and if I remember correctly, there is no Greendales school in NJ.....
Flame me, but I think this is significant, simply because the muslims doing all this are operating with English as a second language, and they are very limited in the imagination department.
If you were in Mazur-e-Sharif, and you were making up a bogus name for a school, what would you call it?
Probably something you had seen and known was pretty bland.
You would see such names posted everywhere in Greendale, WI, I would think.
Plus, these towelheads don't know what a 'dale' is.
They only saw desert until they were 26.
They can be caught off guard, because OUR guard was so incredibly lax.
And they have not gone to great lengths to hide, in my opinion, their activities in the U.S.
The feds have just been asleep at the switch.
I would get some Milwaukee mobsters to interrogate the good student, Mr. Dlop, and see how his midterms are coming along.
Well, I'm glad the authorities are doing their job.
Even an illegal alien has to pay his bills so he resorts to scams and rip offs. Even if he was honest when he got off the boat.
Heck, if my parents named me Pape Dlop, I'd be looking for another identity, too.
In August, a Milwaukee woman was arrested on charges of stealing the identities of hundreds of hospital patients to illegally establish gas, electric, telephone and cable television service for herself and others.
I can remember a time not too many decades ago when people didn't do things like this 'cause it just wasn't right. That was before the liberal feelgooders took over and turned the villian into the victim.
