CANADA TO WELCOME 650 “REFUGEES” FROM LIBYA, INCLUDING 100 ALLEGED FORMER “SLAVES” FROM NIGER
For 40 years the end result, if not the admitted aim, of Canada’s immigration policy has been to replace the European founding settler people by before the middle of this century. With present huge immigration level — year after year, 85 per cent from the Third World — Europeans will be a minority before 2050. In pursuit of “diversity”, the weirder or the more unusual the better, as long as they are from the Third World. Thus, it may come as only a minor shock that as part of Black History Month, our Somali immigration minister has announced our latest haul of strange fish.
“ Canada has begun resettling hundreds of people rescued from slavery in Libya, Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen says. Canada was ‘one of the few countries’ to respond to a request from the United Nations refugee agency in 2017, Hussen said in an email Wednesday. More than 150 people have been resettled and another 600 more are expected over the next two years through the regular refugee settlement program, he said. ‘We are also taking action to resettle 100 refugees from Niger, rescued from Libyan migrant detention centres, including victims of human smuggling,’ he added.” (National Post, February 6, 2019)
Firstly, these “refugees” were all in Libya and were trying to sneak illegally into Europe. Many had used smugglers. In some cases large smuggling debts of $500–$2,000 and illegal status leave them vulnerable to various forms of coercion, resulting in cases of forced prostitution and forced labor. Hence, some are sold into indentured labour to pay off their debts.How this should be Canada’s concern is a mystery. So, who are we getting? We will be getting people who showed their contempt for Western law by trying to sneak into Europe. Do these seem like likely prospects to make good Canadians. If some were indeed “slaves”, aer we not getting mentally and emotionally damaged goods. The sub-Saharan lands these people hail from are desperately backward. This fact will make an easy fit into a modern Western country unlikely. However, it will be a boon to Canada’s ever growing billion-dollar-plus “immigrant settlement” industry. This network of community hand holders who try to educate and train and direct newcomers is a reproach to a system that has been so poor at selecting people who can hit the ground running.
We can look for years of expenses for welfare, government housing and training to say nothing of the several thousands of dollars each needed to transport them to Canada. If Canada felt some urge to help the illegals in Libya, why not offer transportation money back to their home countries plus a modest grant to get them back on their feet. Such expenditure would be small in comparison to what they will cost in Canada. Oh, and, yes, once landed they will soon be able to sponsor their extended families.
