Great job!

Illegals

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) -- and I use the word "services" with very loose licence -- is trying to find 37,000 illegals of whom they have lost track.  37,000!!??@#%

These are people who strolled across the border illegally and solemnly promised, cross-their-hearts-hope-to-die to show up at their immigration hearings when summoned.

Fat chance.  As I type, there are 37,326 active immigration arrest warrants, of which 33,032 are to remove people from Canada.  Within that august group, 306 have Canada-wide warrants because they are deemed a danger to the public -- people who are members of criminal organizations, those engaged in human trafficking and smuggling, convicted sex offenders and those who have committed weapons and narcotics offences.

And it's only going to get worse because the last provinces that house illegals in their jails before deportation have just announced they're discontinuing the practice.  This means that even more will disappear, or as CBSA spokeswoman Rebecca Purdy naively put it, "They may disappear."  May?!!  They most definitely will.

Wait, no, scratch the above numbers.  Hold the presses!  'The Globe and Mail' just reported that the figure of mystery visitors is estimated to be about one million.  One million??!!$@#%@#  That's what economists are reporting.  Apparently StatsCan based its figures on the false assumption that students and visitors with temporary visas would voluntarily leave within 30 days of their documents expiring, so they didn't count them.

As I said, fat chance.  So, a million illegals are living in Canada and no one has a clue about how to find and deport them.  The agency's stated mandate is, "To ensure Canadians have the key information on Canada's economy, society and environment that they require to function effectively as citizens and decision makers."

Well, that isn't panning out is it.  Chief Statistician Anil Arora, 

Can't count

...you've clearly dropped the ball, so why the big smile?  You just got an F.

So, that's the result of Trudeau's insane and dangerous "Welcome to Canada" speech.  

Great job, Erin O'Gorman, president of the CBSA!  Great job!  Another woman who is a disgrace to our gender.  We all expect men in politics to be incompetent, but when women are, it's more pounced upon and disappointing.  Here's our girl Erin:

Another mess up.

The auditor general's report last year stated that, "The border agency had lost track of the whereabouts of a large number of foreign nationals facing deportation, sometimes for years.  The agency issued immigration warrants for their arrest, but seldom completed the required investigations to locate those with criminality."

How can they drop the ball so breathtakingly?!  "Case files were missing and there were delays in processing data.  Even high-priority cases were stalled, or inactive.  Missing travel documents, such as passports, meant people could not be deported, yet little was done to obtain these documents," the report went.

In spite of the publicity generated around the illegals being shipped from Texas to New York, Washington and Los Angeles, the CBSA seems incapable of tracking the thousands New York is shipping to Canada.  Apparently, it costs $400,000 to arrest and process those arriving in Texas; no clue what it costs here in Canada, but millions.

Note:  One reason for the millions of illegals crossing borders all over the world might be that everyone now has a cell phone.  I know it sounds crazy, but in the past, no one knew what life was really like in rich countries.  Now they do and they want a piece of it.  Crazy?  Maybe not.      

On another file, the CSBA won the "Code of Silence" award last year for its failure to reveal the cost of the disastrous 'ArrivCan' app.  How about more than $54 million and it doesn't work!!??!!

Oh well, just another ho-hum day in the life of this government.
