Activist versus Activist (05/15/08)

Journalist-activist versus journalist-activist:

Tears poured down my face when I read this article in the Toronto Star. The number of asylum seekers from the United States is rising fast. Hurrah! The evil empire of the United States is collapsing! *

The sad note is the large numbers of these victimized people turned down for refugee status by our insensitive and cruel bureaucracy. If you look at the handy-dandy chart given by the Star, you will note (try not to cry), that of the 7,047 Mexicans who applied for refugee status, only ten percent were granted. That is ninety percent that are forced back to certain death at the hands of gun-toting gun-registry-resisting Mexican brutes (motivated by poverty, global warming, and outrage over a lack of respect for the right of the trans-gendered to access public transit). Fifty percent of the 3,713 Haitians are going to be sent back to Haiti, where they face certain death at the hands of Anti-Abortionists, Creationists, and second hand smokers.

But, I felt suddenly better when one of my loyal and productive staff pointed out another article in the Star * .

I wiped the tears from my eyes and took up my morning cup of prune elixir. I was worried about all those people being sent to their death by the racists in the immigration department. But, such is not the case. According to the other article in the Star, not very many of those unfortunate victims who have never committed a crime other than being poor are actually getting sent back. Of the 41,000 illegals floating out there, the fascists of Stephen Harper managed to deport 12, 636. Let us say, for the purpose of agreement, that only one in four of those ordered deported, gets deported.

So, those 7,047 Mexicans … ten percent get to stay with handouts, and of the ninety percent left, three quarters stays anyway.

I wish the Toronto Star reporter had mentioned that in his article. It is too bad that the Toronto Star is such a busy place, with many hard working workers, many who owe their job to progressive hiring practices, not ability. The guy who wrote about the vast numbers of people coming from the US, Nicholas Keung, should talk to the guy who wrote about all the non-existence of deportation, Nicholas Keung. I think the article would be more reflective of the reality that progressives want to conjecture if the reality that if you land on these shores you get handouts and never have to leave is painted in the broad strokes that the Star reserves for disrespecting the Canadian Armed forces, the police, Christians, or Vimy-Ridge-Canadian culture. Of the tens of thousands mentioned in the first article, very, very few are actually going to leave Canada. They are going to eat up billions of dollars of wealth in the form of handouts, health care, and education. Which is good … this creates jobs for people who give out handouts, who work in health care, and education enablers. Maybe Nicholas Keung will bump into Nicholas Keung in the lunch room so they can get their story straight, straighter and lefter.
