Tasha Kheiriddin: Bill C-12 wird Kanadas Einwanderungsprobleme nicht lösen; Durch eine geringfügige Verschärfung der Regeln werden 19.000 Klagen abgewiesen, 288.000 anhängige Fälle und ein kaputtes System bleiben jedoch weitgehend unberührt

**In Brief**:
* Bill C-12 would result in the dismissal of 19,000 such refugee applications, according to Diab. That’s a drop in the bucket of the [288,271 pending asylum claims](https://archive.ph/o/GboMZ/https://www.unhcr.ca/in-canada/statistics-on-asylum-seekers-in-canada/) currently clogging the system.
* What they fail to mention is that one in five of those 288, 271 applications [will be rejected](https://archive.ph/o/GboMZ/https://www.unhcr.ca/in-canada/statistics-on-asylum-seekers-in-canada/). Or that it will take years to process these cases due to backlogs.
* Or that Canadian taxpayers will continue to pay the costs of supporting these claimants while they wait for adjudication: healthcare alone is estimated at [$1 billion a year](https://archive.ph/o/GboMZ/https://nationalpost.com/news/conservatives-take-aim-at-health-coverage-for-rejected-refugee-claimants), rising to $1.5 billion by 2030.
* C-12 does address some of concerns, requiring copays on some health costs, but it isn’t enough. There are still 3 million people whose visas will expire this year, with no plan to remove them from the country. Some of these people will no doubt claim asylum before their year is up, buying time while the overburdened system adjudicates their cases, at the expense of both taxpayers and legitimate refugees now stuck in the back of an endless queue.
As long as success rate for asylum claims is 80%+ (which it is), there will continue to be scores of fake refugees who will give it a shot.
We built systems but did not build safeguards.
Instead of trying to make processing these fake claims easier, we should be aiming to not have fake claims in the first place.
Eliminate all benefits for refugee claimants who were not invited here while out of country. No work permit, no healthcare, no food banks. Pay your own way until processed, full stop.

They aren’t doing this to fix anything, they do things to get positive headlines from the people who cover for them.
Why fix that which is working for them?
They need to switch to a last in first processed system (to disincentivize people using the long multi year wait times for hearings + appeals to stay here) to stabilize the system.
You’d be mistaken if you think that the LPC wants to fix immigration. They do not. These numbers are according to plan
Small, rational improvements over radical changes – this is the meaning of responsible government that is thinking of the long term.
r/Canada seems to be full of „conservative radicals“, or paid foreign agitators, where everything is an emergency and radical changes are needed -now- .
They don’t want to fix it. The system is very obviously broken on purpose.
We could have fixed it when we had more unemployed people than jobs or when housing became unaffordable or when our own police and intelligence agencies identified the hopeless situation our youth are in as the single biggest risk to the Government of Canada but we didnt.
Now we have so many unemployed that if you filled every single job vacancy with an unemployed person you would still have hundreds of thousands of unemployed people in Canada.
This ‚refugee‘ program is here for the same reason as the tfw program or the ’student‘ programs and there is absolutely no political intention to fix any of it.
What a quagmire. We still need Master for form of the lmia program, TFW program, fake foreign student program, etc. Now, even our refugee program is highly suspect? What are we even doing here.
Meanwhile, my hometown has almost 10% unemployment and almost 20% youth unemployment. But every single service job and most factory jobs are all staffed by 20-year-old Indians from the Punjab region.
This is not the diversity we grew up believing in… I still believe that diversity is a strength, but boy would I love to see some of it.
Another huge FAIL by this govt! And look at what it has done to Canada as a result! This country is barely recognizable in some places. Protests all of the place without action! Rampant anti-semitism, CRIME!
All of which has gotten much worse since 2019!
And to think „some“ people will vote for more of this lunacy! Mind boggling!
