Canadians want their illegals tossed. No shock.
Just to make a few points. Many people believe that the USA is the only country that has issues with illegal aliens. WRONG! Though we may have the biggest problem because of the numbers there are many other countries dealing, or not dealing, with the issue.
Commonly, s we all know, if you oppose amnesties etc then you are branded a mean-spirited, racist, xenophobe, hater, etc.. But what's this? About 75% of Canadians want illegals tossed simply because they believe in playing by the rules? And aren't Canadians viewed by some, mainly themselves, as enlightened We are the World types?
Boot them.
A majority of Canadians believe immigrants who are in the country illegally or after their visas expire should be deported, even if they have family ties in the country, a newly released government poll shows.
rof. Peter Showler, director of the Refugee Forum at the University of Ottawa, said it is a “very high Canadian value” to oppose queue-jumping by anyone in the country, including immigrants.

“We are a very civil society and we like the idea that people should play by the rules, and we don’t like it when there are rule-breakers and I think that has been a fairly consistent view,” said Showler. However, he added that Canadians are very “schizophrenic” on the issue and once personal details about an immigrant, who is about to be deported, become public through the media, they often become extremely supportive.
