Looks like Canada is beginning to enjoy the exciting new world of undocumentation.

Over the past three weeks, 45 families and 31 individuals — approximately 200 people — entered Canada at the Detroit River crossings and applied in Windsor for shelter and social assistance after filing refugee claims with the Canada Border Services Agency. Municipal agencies dealing with the sudden influx of mainly Mexican refugee applicants are renting out hotel rooms and bracing for predicted thousands more to come.

Maybe they’re enticed by the “free” healthcare system. Surely a wonderful model of socialized medicine can handle the new “undocumented workers”.

“When there is a possibility of adding thousands to the local social assistance system as a result of refugee claimants crossing the border into Windsor, we will become overwhelmed and our current resources will not suffice,” Francis wrote in a letter sent Wednesday to Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

“We don’t have the means, ability or capacity to deal with this additional cost. We are not able to deal with this potential crisis locally,” Francis wrote Harper.

Don’t think of it in terms of the cost to your society, think of it as a boost to your economy.

“This is a problem the U.S. has allowed to create. It’s really unfair for Canada to have to face this,” said MP Joe Comartin (NDP — Windsor-Tecumseh), his Party’s public safety and national security critic.

Hey, they’re just coming to do the jobs Canadians won’t do.

I guess you just thought this was going to be a U.S. problem since it’s our border that’s shared with Mexico. Well, guess what. We don’t really have a visible border with Mexico anymore, so when Mexicans look North for work, the first border they see now is yours.

Enjoy.

1. Welcome To Canada, Eh?

   Canada is beginning to see its own illegal immigration problems:
   With city shelters filled and…

   Eventually one or more Canadian MPs will demand the US reimburse Canada for the cost of accomodating their ‘new population.’

3. Jason:

   If you post again on this you could consider that the Canadian dollar is gaining strength against the US dollar, and has reached parity for the first time in 22 years (fact check me on this). This means that the illegal families are acting in their own interests, less costly healthcare, thereby saving cash, and the ability to send more money back to the motherland.

   Isn’t it strange that the illegal population is allowed to get away with doing things to improve their situation, and we are not?

   We’ve had an influx of illegals for decades now. If they’ve spent all this time sending money back to “improve” the motherland, the motherland should be good enough by now that someone would want to stay.

5. Common Sense:

   You would think so, wouldn’t you?

   Of course the money goes into the motherland’s economy at the bottom, and by a series of normal economic transactions, like overcharging for goods, it finds it way into the motherland’s elites pockets, and gets reinvested in the US markets. At least in enables some disadvantaged people to eat I suppose.

   It is graft and corruption that keeps the motherland poorer than it needs to be.

6. Actually it is the first time in 30 years the dollar has been at par. And as for the Mexicans claiming refugee status and whatnot, this nonesense has been going on for years. Our system is so buggered up that some US collage kids do it as well and then sit back and collect money from the Canadian government while they are in school. Hey if I find a loop hole like that I would use it as well.

7. Mexico has immigration laws, why shouldn’t America? What’s the point of unenforced laws?

   Check the net, type “eisenhower operation wetback.”

   Eisenhower was able to make 1,300,000 illegals leave in less than a year. Of course, with NCLR, ACLU, and crazy judges we would need war powers to do it. Declare war on Mexico, please, yes, hurt their stupid feelings. That’s what one must do when confronting a stalker (we really don’t love you, go away).

   Geraldo says he would like to see illegals leave to see how white people miss them. Yes, yes, Geraldo, please please, hurt me. I’m too old to learn Spanish and shouldn’t have to. All democrat presidential candidates endorse spanish as an official US language (yes, really), but they just want to come here to assimilate? Wherever a Mexican goes is Mexico?

   Deport to Pakistan/Afghanistan and tell them we will stop flooding them with illegal Mexicans when Osama is coughed up. Tell Pakistan/Afghanistan it’s good for their economy. The return flights can bring our troops home. Let Mexico colonize the middle east and demand “rights.”
