Illegal immigration to Canada – Wikipedia

Illegal immigration in Canada is the act of a non-Canadian individual entering Canada without the approval of the Government of Canada.

The Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, established in 2003 outlines the ruling, laws, and procedures associated with immigrants within Canada. It provides officers of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) with the authority to detain permanent residents and foreign nationals if any of the individuals have violated the rulings of the Act. Roughly 12,600 individuals who were living in Canada including 1,900 criminals who violated this Act and either posed a high risk to Canada or were illegal immigrants who were deported in the year of 2006-07.[1]

Canada has an immigration program which is established for every migrant wishing to emigrate to Canada. This program seeks individuals who will have the highest chances of providing positive input into the Canadian economy. By example, the New Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) measures the capabilities of individuals who are required to meet a passing mark, in order to have their application accepted. The passing mark currently is 67 out of a 100 in six categories: education, work experience, language, age, arranged employment, and adaptability (such as any previous work or education acquired within Canada).[2]

In 2017, the only legal options through which you can migrate to Canada are as follows:[disputed discuss]

The last audit of the Canadian population was performed in 2004 that indicated approximately 36,000 more individuals over a span of 6 years became illegal residents within Canada.[1] These statistics are considered inaccurate because, Canada does not record the information of illegal individuals leaving the country, but it is the last authentic value provided. Estimates made by the federal government account for 100,000 illegal immigrants who are still residing in Canada.[3] In the 1980s large numbers of Brazilians were arriving in Canada claiming refugee statuses. They would then reside until the end of their refugee process which allowed them to study, work, and collect social benefits. Canada noticed the large trend and imposed a requirement in 1987 of Brazilians needing to attain a visa in order to arrive in Canada, making it a little more difficult for many to immigrate.[4] During their stay, the Brazilians would develop the skills to pass the Canadian immigration tests, and become Canadian legal citizens. The ones that would not pass the citizenship tests would either leave back to Brazil, or continue to live as illegal citizens. Auditor General Sheila Fraser who worked for a 10-year period in the office of the Auditor General of Canada stated in 2008 that Canadas border agency has lost track of 41,000 individuals who have been ordered to be deported.[5] Canadas border agency is removing illegal immigrants in Canada regularly in a respectful, safe, and effective manner. Although in some cases individuals can be removed immediately, or allowed a temporary access into Canada with a Temporary Resident Permit as long as they do not pose a threat to Canadians. The Temporary Resident Permit can be issued by the Canada Border Agency or a border service officer for a cost of $200 per permit; the Canada Border Agency issued 13,412 permits in 2006. Permits are issued based on technical, criminal history, or medical reasons that allow legal residency for a period ranging from one day to three years. During this time period, the legal documents are gathered for individuals to be deported back to the country they emigrated from. This procedure at times could create challenges such as retrieving the legal documentation for deporting, hence the Temporary Resident Permits are provided enough time for such obstacles to be overcome efficient and effectively.

In 2017, after U.S. President Donald Trump took a hard-line against illegal immigration in the U.S., immigrants leaving the U.S. for Canada skyrocketed. Over 14,000 people were estimated to have left the U.S. for Canada since July, 2017 and Montreal had to re-purpose its Olympic Stadium to house the refugees.[6]

Canada welcomes refugees, but some have voiced strong opinions regarding immigrants within Canada. A poll conducted of 1,200 telephone interviews of adult Canadians gathered feedback on positive and negative opinions regarding immigrants settled in Canada.[7] Being a developed country, residents believe strongly that only individuals who migrate legally should be allowed to remain. A national poll revealed that two-thirds of Canadians believe that any resident of Canada who is illegal should be deported. Considering factors such as Quebec was the only province that reached a level of 70% where individuals stated that reasonable accommodations should be made for illegal immigrants rather than simply deporting them.[7]

Ann Coulter: How Is Trump’s First Year Different From a Jeb …

Coulter Blasts Trump for 'DACA Lovefest' With Dems, Plan for Amnesty

Tomi Lahren Blasts the 'Anti-Women's March': The 'Mean Girls' Need to Take a Look in the Mirror

Ann Coulterassessed President Trump's first year in office, saying it's clearly better than a Hillary Clinton presidency would have been, but otherwise not different from the results of any mainstream Republican.

She said right now she grades him as "incomplete" and is still hopeful he can deliver on the campaign promises that were far different from what mainstream Republicans and Democrats have offered voters for decades.

"Finally Trump came along and offered us X, Y and Z, but he's not really doing it. How is this presidency -- he's obviously better than Hillary Clinton -- different from Jeb exclamation point?" she asked on "The Next Revolution" Sunday night.

Coulter said Jeb Bush or "any Republican" would have passed tax cuts, kept in place the carried interest loophole for Wall Street and appointed a conservative Supreme Court justice.

"If he doesn't build the wall and deport illegals, this country is over," said the conservative commentator and author, sounding an alarm about the negotiations over DACA.

She added that Republicans are actually considering "100 percent amnesty," questioning how a federal law could be written only to cover "children who were brought here through no fault of their own."

"No, any amnesty is a 100 percent amnesty. Any senator, Republican or Democrat, weeping about 'children who came here through no fault of their own' is a liar and is pushing for amnesty and to destroy the country."

Watch her full analysis above.

Colin Flaherty: Home Robbery, Shooting, Death – YouTube

Colin Flaherty discusses the murder of Jack Price. He also shows some graphic on crime and murder statistics. I recommend reading article it fleshes it out more.

[Below is an article from fox4kc.com]BLUE SPRINGS, Mo. Two men are now facing charges Tuesday in the murder of a Blue Springs teenager, according Jackson County prosecutors.

Triston D. Withers, 19, and Daquan M. Tolefree, 20, have both been charged with one count of second-degree murder in the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Jack Price. Withers and Tolefree have also been charged with two counts of armed criminal action and one count of first-degree attempted robbery.

Daquan M. Tolefree and Triston D. Withers

Police responded to the fatal shooting around 9:30 p.m. Friday night at Applegate East Apartments on Vesper Street in Blue Springs where they found Price suffering from gunshot wounds. He was taken to a local hospital where he later died.

Police said Price was shot once in the chest and once in the wrist. There were three others in the home at the time, who were not shot.

Court documents say an anonymous witness told police Withers and Tolefree planned to rob the residence where Price was at for drugs.

According to court documents, one of the residents of the apartment planned to meet with someone to sell drugs. The person heard someone at the door and, thinking it was the person coming to buy drugs, opened it.

Witnesses told police two men in ski masks came into the apartment and pointed a gun at one persons head. That person yelled at Price to get a gun, and one of the two masked men shot Price, police said.

Tolefree told police he was with Withers when Withers allegedly shot Price. The two men then ran out of the apartment, according to police.

A witness identified one of the masked men as Withers. Police found shell casings and a cell phone on the homes back deck, and the phone number came back to Withers, prosecutors said Tuesday.

Price was the victim of Blue Springs third homicide in the last three months and the second teen to be shot and killed in less than one month in the Jackson County city.

Prosecutors have requested a $150,000 bond for both men. [END of Article]

Turkey’s Erdogan vows to press offensive on U.S.-backed Kurds …

ISTANBUL Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan vowed Monday to keep up an offensive against U.S.-backed Kurdish militias in Syria, rejecting American calls for restraint and boasting of a deal with Russia to press ahead with the assault.

Erdogans defiant message underscored the deepening rift between the NATO allies over the Kurdish militias and signaled a possible escalation of the latest tensions in Syrias seven-year conflict.

Turkey sees the Syrian Kurdish fighters as linked to insurgents fighting for Kurdish autonomy at home. Washington, meanwhile, has turned to the Syrian Kurds as a proxy force against the Islamic State and a bulwark against efforts by the extremists to reclaim territory.

Turkey on Saturday announced an air and ground offensive to rout the Kurdish Peoples Protection Units, or YPG, from Afrin, an enclave near the Turkish border. U.S. officials quickly called on Turkey to limit the scope and duration of the operation to avoid civilian casualties.

We appreciate their right to defend themselves, but this is a tough situation where there are a lot of civilians mixed in, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson told reporters while traveling from London to Paris, according to a pool report.

[Turkey opens offensive against Syrian Kurds]

Turkey has legitimate concerns about terrorists crossing the border into Turkey and carrying out attacks, he said, adding that the United States has asked Turkey to just try to be precise, try to limit your operation, try to show some restraint.

But Erdogan offered little suggestion that Turkey would scale back its offensive. We are determined. Afrin will be sorted out. We will take no step back, he said at a meeting of business leaders in Turkeys capital, Ankara. Without elaborating, he said Turkey had reached an agreement with Russia whose forces back Syrian President Bashar al-Assad over the operation.

America says the timing [of the operation] should be clear, Erdogan continued. Well, was your timing in Afghanistan clear? Is your time in Iraq done?

Syrian Kurdish officials said Monday that at least 13 civilians and three Kurdish fighters had been killed since the operation started. Turkey also deployed allied Syrian rebels to help in the fight.

It was unclear, however, how far Turkey or its proxy forces had advanced on Afrin or surrounding Kurdish areas. Turkish officials said this weekend that the goal was to create a secure zone along the border.

In Afrin, a spokesman for the YPG, Nouri Mahmoud, denounced Russia for apparently giving a green light to the Turkish attacks. This is an unethical position from the Russian forces, he said at a news conference.

U.S. officials say the YPG militia played an essential role in ousting Islamic State militants from several areas of Syria.

They have proven their effectiveness, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis told reporters Sunday enroute to Southeast Asia.

It has cost them thousands of casualties, he said. But you have watched them, with the coalition support, shred [the] ISIS caliphate in Syria. ISIS is an acronym for the Islamic State.

Alex Horton in Jakarta, Indonesia, and Heba Habib in Stockholm contributed to this report.

President Erdogan defends Turkey’s offensive in Syria | Euronews

There has been intense fighting as Turkish troops and their allies advance on a Kurdish enclave in Syria.

Ankara's offensive aimed at ousting the US-backed Kurdish militia from the area has now entered its fourth day

The Turkish mission named Operation Olive Branch, has heightened tensions in the already complicated Syrian conflict, further straining ties between Turkey and the US.

Turkey considers the Kurdish YPG fighters as allies of Kurdish insurgents back home. It's aim is to create a 30-kilometre wide "secure zone" in Afrin, the Kurdish-controlled enclave that straddles its borders.

On Monday ( Jan 22) Turkey's southern border town of Kilis was struck by a missile fired from within Syria.

In all 14 missiles have landed on the town since Turkey began its military operation, wounding 8 people.

Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has defended the offensive on Afrin saying there will be no pulling back:

"Afrin will be settled," he said. "There will be no let up until the operation is complete. We have discussed this with our Russian friends, we have an agreement."

A representative of Iraq's Kurdistan Regional Government, Jawidan Hassan, has condemned the ongoing operation by Turkish troops.

"We consider what is happening in Afrin a war against the whole of humanity. In this war, President Erdogan wants to break the will of the People's Protection Units (YPG), who have struggled against the terrorism of so- called Islamic State group on behalf of the whole world."

Some reports say at east 80 people have been killed in the fighting since Saturday. International reaction has been to call for restraint and concern has been raised over civilians caught up in the fighting.
