All mayor newspapers reported this story today in some form. This is not surprising, but fails to address the problem of asylum forum shopping. Not surprisingly, Canada is one of the top three destinations for asylum-seekers now in the EU, as it is viewed as "soft" and failed or bogus claimants and those who "advise" them to come to Canada illegally know that, in the end, most get to stay. The economic magnets aer also a driving force: social assistance, free medical and health services, legal aid, free public education, etc. If the government wants things to change, then it must address the root causes of the problem.
