ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Sir:
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ It does look like Citizenship and Immigration Minister Jason Kenney has just woken up to the reality that our Refugee system has been abused by the Mexican and Czech refugee seekers.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ The system was abused by scores of thousands of Tamils from Sri Lanka for almost two decades, and it was a million dollar business where a few Tamils became millionaires. They bilked our refugee and welfare system to the hilt and our politicians were aware of it.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ What is impressive about these refugees is that they had guts and were prepared to thumb their noses at our refugee determination authorities by buying an airplane ticket no sooner they received their Canadian passport and take off to Sri Lanka to visit their families, the country they ran away from saying that they were persecuted. Refugees! What a bunch of baloney!
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ To me, our refugee system is just a sham and the tax payers are paying and arm and a leg for our politico-bureaucratic stupidity.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Asoka Weerasinghe
