Thread: Canada rules out amnesty for 200,000 illegal workers

Sweetest headline of the day?

Ottawa rules out amnesty for 200,000 illegal workers

Now, ready for a little giggle? Here's the subhead...

THE UNDERGROUND ECONOMY: Construction industry hit hard by decision

What about the children? The children I say!

Remember, this is CANADA! CANADA people!

Ottawa has ruled out amnesty for the estimated 200,000 undocumented workers toiling in Canada's underground economy, saying it would not be fair to those who have applied legally and are waiting in line, according to a letter obtained by The Globe and Mail.

Allowing illegal workers to stay would likely "encourage more illegal immigration," noted Linda Arseneau of Citizenship and Immigration Canada's ministerial enquiries division in an Oct. 18 letter to the Universal Workers Union.

"Even a small increase in the number who decide to come here and stay here illegally based on the hope of regularization would simply recreate the very problem the proposal is supposed to fix," the letter says.

The decision is a bitter disappointment to Portuguese and Hispanic groups, home-builder associations and unions in Ontario that have lobbied CIC to allow undocumented workers in the construction industry to regularize their status.

How is it Canada can display this level of common sense and we can't? What up with that?

CANADA people, CANADA!!

I'm starting to like Canada's prime minister a lot. Yesterday he didn't give in to Vicente Fox either when vicente began whining about the fence.

That is "sweet"!

A nice way to start my day!

This is great!

I bet this puts a dent in the North American Union plans. The people of Canada must of been giving their leaders an earfull and they only have 200,00 illegals! Groups like ours in the USA can use this ruling to re: assert our stance on this issue. These underground economies are UNFAIR TO THE CITIZENS of Canada and USA AND the LEGAL IMMIGRANTS WAITING IN LINE LAWFULLY!!

Thank you Canada!!

If my memory serves, he's PRO NAU.

They're passifying their people. They can't move with the NAU without us and our "amnesty." A little chess game perhaps?

what's the link to the original publication of that info?

The decision is a bitter disappointment to Portuguese

Can't believe I missed this, lol.

PORTUGUESE! the Portuguese are moving to Canada? Hot damn......that's because Portugal, in their bowing to the EU, is inundated and "broke" due to the legal and ILLEGAL Africans coming around the tip of Spain.

I saw it with my own 2 eyeballs so I know it's absolutely true. The Africans fleeing the poor & dangerous areas have flooded that little, tiny country by literally small boat loads and drained their resources {socialist} with healthcare, housing, education, etc. etc.

Here's the link to the original article. Sorry.
