There Are Good Reasons For Removal
Given the numbers of new immigrants and refugees that Canada accepts annually, roughly a quarter-million, perhaps it is not surprising that considering the immensity of that population base, the country winds up with 2,700 individuals who are decidedly unwelcome to stay. Which is not to say that of the total quarter-million accepted yearly, all become model citizens.
Home-born-and-bred Canadians represent a significant number of undesirables themselves.
Reflective of the diversity of human society, our complex natures, the manner in which we were introduced to life, and the values we were exposed to and accepted - and in part rejected. In any society there are misfits, social deviants, those who find the social contract personally restricting, who far prefer the illicit to the licit, a life of crime and violence to one of moderation; deviance over social cohesion.
It is a real rogue's gallery that presents to the viewer, the 31 foreign-born landed immigrants without citizenship who live in various parts of Canada and who have been found guilty of the commission of various serious crimes, while living in Canada. These non-citizens who live in the country are able to call upon the benefits that accrue to all those who live in Canada.
They also have obligations to the country which they have obviously seen fit not to fulfill; chief among them obeying the law. The visages posted on the Canada Border Services Agency website, supported by Public Safety Minister Vic Toews are those of individuals who were born in India, Sri Lanka, Congo, Guyana, China, Czech Republic, Haiti, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, El Salvador, Algeria, Poland, America, and England.
Who have chosen, or were brought with their families, to live in Canada. By their actions they have disengaged themselves from lawful society, and they have caused the country's law and security agencies to exempt them from further residence in the country, and to prepare for deportation to their countries of origin, as non-citizens of Canada.
These are people convicted of serious crimes while living in Canada. Crimes which include murder, serious sexual assault, armed robbery or drug trafficking. Or a combination of such crimes. These are often people whose lives in Canada represent a long string of criminal activity, and frequent issues of lawful discipline through imprisonment.
These 30 names follow hard on a previous decision to list the names, photographs and requests for assistance to discover the whereabouts of an equal number of fugitives from deportation who were charged with though not necessarily brought to trial and convicted, of war crimes, outside of Canada. A handful of that number was isolated and successfully deported.
No one held to be involved in the commission of war crimes or violent assaults, or being members of a government held to be in violation of human rights is admissible to Canada. Those who conceal their backgrounds to enable themselves entry and who are discovered to have given false information on entry to the country are subject to removal.
This second listing of 31 individuals who made themselves scarce, going into hiding in cities like Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Halifax and elsewhere in the country, represent a small portion of the estimated 1,400 individuals in Toronto alone who are wanted for deportation, and who are evading being found by the authorities and deported.
Last year the CBSA was able to remove 15,000 individuals from Canada because they were found not to be admissible for one reason or another, to this country. Of that number 1,800 were removed as a result of their 'association to criminality'. There are more than enough problems in any society with law enforcement agencies attempting to handle law-breakers.
There are appeals to the courts that can be launched when individuals wishing to remain in Canada seek to overturn decisions to remove them from the country. More than ample consideration is given to their rights under the law. But no one has the right to remain where they are not legally entitled to.
And Canada is embarking on the right solution in seeking these people who are subject to removal; released on a bond by the Immigration and Refugee Board, and then become fugitives to evade eviction.
