The Liberal Refugee Mess: Creating Insecurity for Canadians

Canadian Highway to Terror by Stephen Brown, FrontPageMagazine.com, Sept. 19, 2003

Canada's refugee system, long used by terrorists as a means of gaining access to North America, has once again shown why it poses a major security risk to the continent.

The latest Islamist miscreant to take advantage of this criminally lax system that makes Canada look like one of the biggest sucker nations in the world is Abderraouf Jdey, whose name appeared earlier this month in an FBI alert as a possible terrorist threat. Jdey first came to the attention of authorities on a videotape found in the home of Osama bin Laden's security chief in Afghanistanrecording a suicide message and promising to die in battle against the infidels. Originally from Tunisia, Jdey came to Canada in 1991 and filed a refugee claim and received Canadian citizenship in 1995.

Unknown to many people, when terrorist crackpots like Jdey arrive in Canada and say the magic word "refugee," then, like Ali Baba before his cave, the door opens wide to a relatively safe hideout and a room full of riches.

Look at a list of the reasons Canada’s refugee system is the laughing stock of the world and our Liberal government is seen as just allowing in as many as possible to get their votes and stay in power. Some pertinent quotations are enough. These are taken from various paragraphs of this article.

1. Besides monthly welfare payments, the terrorist refugee claimant is instantly entitled to free health and dental care, housing and legal representation, thanks to Canadian taxpayers. But most importantly for a terrorist, once that claim has been made, it is almost impossible to have him removed him from the country.

2. Having a criminal record for terrorism, or other offenses, is no obstacle to staying in Canada. Ressam was a rejected refugee claimant who was never deported. . . . . Most of the other members of his Montreal al-Qaeda cell were also refugee claimants.

3. Many claimants also often arrive in Canada without documents, some having deliberately destroyed them shortly before reaching their destination. They are then released into the population without authorities knowing for certain who they really are. Many then never show up for their refugee hearing and simply disappear off the radar screen.

4. The problem. . . isn't so much with the number of claims that are received, but rather with the number that are approved. While the international average for approvals is about 12 percent, the Canadian average stands at an astounding 60 percent.

5. Canada even accepts claims from countries that are not considered refugee producers, such as Great Britain, Germany and Denmark.

6. There are several reasons why Canada's refugee system hasn't been overhauled. One is the vested interests immigration lawyers and refugee services have in maintaining the current system. Examining the Mohammed case alone indicates why the lawyers are all for maintaining the status quo, while the refugee services, which are mostly government funded, often involve high-salaried positions.

7. But the main reason for this inexcusable mess is Canada's ruling Liberal Party. The Liberals are Canada's party of multiculturalism and regard the ethnic vote as a very important part of their electoral power base. And since fixing the refugee system could be interpreted as anti-immigrant, they also prefer to leave things as they are.


Again, think about this and what is happening in Canada and why the US does not trust our security because it impacts on theirs. You have the vote; use it!

Thanks for pointing me to the article to the Canukistanian.
