EDITORIAL ON REFUGEE POLICY

The Globe and Mail published an interesting opinion in today's Editorial. However, the problems in Canada's refugee determination system are much more serious: refugee claims have become an alternative migration stream for many of those who want quick access to government benefits, health care, work permits, and have few skills to integrate into the economy. Of course, many bogus claims are "promoted" by unscrupulous individuals who counsel people to make false claims just to buy time and defeat the system. Unless would be refugees get the message that protection is not an automatic entitlement and that they can not avoid enforcement by simply hiding after they exhaust their legal recourse, noting will change.
