Refugees walking through freezing weather to Manitoba. Most are originally from Ghana and Somalia. 22 last weekend...

22 refugees entered Manitoba near Emerson border over the weekend - Manitoba - CBC News

Hundreds over the past few months at several crossing places, some so frostbitten they'll lose fingers and toes...

Refugees brave freezing cold, walk to Canada to escape Donald Trump’s USA | Globalnews.ca

Well, you guys offered...

They took you up on it. Your problem now. :shrug:

Thank you very much.

Make sure y'all take good care of them now, ya-hear? :coffeepap:

I am going to bet that these refugees are the type to be motivated enough to maybe start their own businesses or at the very least work extremely hard to find employment and contribute to society. That is what our current crop of refugees is doing, some have become entrepreneurs as well.

Doubt it.

Immigrants to Europe have faced similar trials and tribulations to get to that oh so juicy welfare state.

We'll take the ones who qualify and the rest will be returned. It's called a safe country pact and it says that coming from the US doesn't make you a refugee, entitled to refugee status in Canada.

Really!?! :shock:

Wow, and here I thought you all were so open and accepting of "refugees." :liar

Aren't these people fleeing the horrors that they have faced under our current regime? :unsure13:

Haven't you been one of those voices from the Great White Northern wilderness decrying the terrible plight we must be living with here under President Trump?

Now you think you can pick and choose who you want to come?

Hypocrisy, thy name is Canada. ;)

Qualify?

Why in heavens name would they have to "qualify"?

Believe it or not you have to meet certain criteria to qualify as a refugee. You can't just show up in a country and demand to be treated as a refugee.

Why is this news to so many people? That refugees have to meet certain criteria to be treated as such.

You Canadians are as cold and cruel as your weather.

If you think Canada is a juicy welfare state for immigrants you need to do some research. Some of those people will be returned to the US, the ones we don't want, under what's called a 'safe country pact'.

If you think "refugees" don't selectively pick states that have juicy welfare states to move to and in doing so, break immigration laws, you need to do some research.

I guess you'll be adjusting your attitude then. Wonderful how a little information can broaden your world-view, innit?
 
Blasphemy.................

Here in California people keep telling me showing up is good enough.

That is completely false, one of the first things you have to prove is that you are in danger if you return home. It is part of the international law the protects refugees. Many countries have a safe country list that essentially means they will never accept a refugee claim from those countries because they are considered safe like the US or most of Europe. There was actually some controversy I think a year or two ago because Canada added Mexico to its list of safe countries.

You don't know the half of it until you step on the ice with a hockey stick in your hands.

You gonna take em in to live with you? That'd be a very humanitarian thing for you to do.

The only people who say that here are the mega-church pastor wanna-be's and their moon-eyed minions. And they really don't mean it unless you're filling the collection basket with cash.
 
Yeah... Don't really see how to Trump is to blame for the stupidity of these particular individuals.

They couldn't have shelled out the cash to spring for a car?

Know what? We're doing this a lot better than you are. You're gonna get back a lot of those people- it's called a 'safe country pact' and it says the US is a safe country so they don't qualify as refugees when their applications are being processed.

I was being semi-serious. ;)

We'll take the cherries and cream and the rest will be returned to the safe country they came from. They don't qualify as refugees, coming from the US.

This is the very reason why taking and encouraging mass immigration from broken countries is actually retarded.

If you siphon the "cream of the crop" from places that are forsaken backwaters and take all of their intelligent innovative people, how in the hell do you EVER expect that country to recover or become better?
