There is one thing that we talk too little about when we deal with the issue of asylum seekers.
Yes, we must take into account our reception capacity.
But you also need to take the time to carefully check WHO you are welcoming.
Because just because someone asks for asylum in Canada does not mean it should automatically be granted to them.
We have the right to choose who enters and who does not enter.

A REAL REFUGEE
On February 13, the National Post published a very interesting text by an Iranian national named Siavash Safavi.
This man (who today earns his living as a translator) was arrested and tortured in his home country because he participated in student protests.
Sentenced to prison, he managed to leave Iran with the help of a smuggler.
Passing – on horseback – through the mountains, he managed to get to Turkey where he requested political asylum in Canada.
He had to wait a year to be approved by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, then 18 months for his application to be approved by Canadian security agencies.
He arrived in Canada after spending two and a half years in Türkiye.
TRUDEAU’S CRAZY PROJECT
In 2013, writes Siavash Safavi, Canada (then led by Stephen Harper) welcomed 24,000 refugees per year.
The authorities took the time to carefully analyze each request.
But when Justin Trudeau took power, he opened the country’s borders wide and admitted tens of thousands of refugees from Syria.
However, according to this Iranian immigrant, the more Canada rushes to welcome refugees to realize Justin’s crazy dream of building the “first post-national state in the world”, the less time it takes to verify the merits of each request.

Result: many of these refugees should not end up here.
“When we receive refugees from countries where the dominant culture or state ideology differs greatly from ours, it is necessary to take the time to carefully analyze each request, in order to ensure that immigrants who defend ideas extremists are not allowed into the country,” writes Safavi.
Unfortunately, that is not what the Trudeau government is doing.
We accept people who “believe that all white people are evil, that Jews are a virus that must be eradicated, that members of the LGBTQ community are evil, that women must be submissive to men and that violence is necessary to correct people who do not respect our culture.
“When we do that,” continues Siavash Safavi, “we pave the way for the balkanization of the country. We cannot ask people who have nothing in common – or, worse, who hate each other – to share the same country.”
WE SHOT OURSELVES IN THE FOOT
For this Iranian national, “anyone who has the slightest common sense knows that if you welcome people who hate your culture, it is not a healthy immigration policy, it is downright masochism, and that is going to end badly.”
