Throwing Garbage into our Neighbor’s Yard
by Jeff Davis
Well, the United States has finally found a way to deal with our illegal alien problem. Send them to Canada.
The Windsor (Ontario) Star reports: “With city shelters filled and a surge of further refugee claimants expected to flood into Windsor, Mayor Eddie Francis is pleading for financial help from Ottawa. ‘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. 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.”
Wait a minute. “Entered Canada at the Detroit River crossings?” What, with no money, no passports, no IDs? And I thought the AMERICAN border was wide open!
According to the Star “(Windsor’s panicked mayor says) ‘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…I don’t believe that Windsor’s residents and taxpayers should have to foot the bill for U.S. immigration policy,’ Francis told The Star. He was referring to the suspected source of the problem — a recently begun crackdown on illegal immigrants in economically struggling regions of the U.S. South. With the bulk of the latest arrivals being long-time Mexican illegals dislodged from their homes and workplaces in southwestern Florida, fingers are being pointed at unscrupulous outfits charging money and then directing desperate individuals and their families toward the Windsor border crossing.” (more…)
