You want tougher rules, do you know the rules?
I find a lot of people who advocate for tougher rules don't know the actual rules in place. Many of them don't follow rules they do know and couldn't pass the robust requirements. I wouldn't be surprised if many of them are shuffled around from department to department at their workplace because they are difficult to get along with. The rules they break are small but many. Before making new rules, review and enforce the ones you have.

ReplyDelete75% of Canadians Aren't Bigoted Assholes
Suspending refugees like in the US is a bad idea and just fuels enmity. No, I'm all for accepting more and spending more on helping them integrate to the benefit of everyone. It's never that simple, of course.
ReplyDeleteWhat I really want is that 25% to have everything taken away from them and have to live in a tent while traveling and spending their cash for the opportunity to live in their neighbourhood again.
ReplyDeleteFree trade is good for similar reasons. We can have boat people from Vietnam or we can give them reasons to remain in their home country by promoting good government and setting rules for movement of goods.
Thank you Cass Morrison. That's always my point to the extreme vetters.
ReplyDeleteI never (ever) get an answer to "What is the current vetting process ?"
yeah, I know there are extra laws but it's because people are too lazy to apply the current laws.
ReplyDeleteCass Morrison that still sounds like a picnic compared to what they go through... let's not forget years in refugee tent camps with disease, crime, rape, and rationed clean water (if any at all) before getting accepted anywhere.
ReplyDeleteMany refugees have their war trauma and the camp trauma on top of that.
I mentioned tents Mahram Z. Foadi in my follow up comment because, you're right. Quiz questions from a warm room is much different than the emotional trauma of having your life randomly destroyed. And that does beg the question of physical injuries.
ReplyDeleteCass Morrison Absolutely. I can't imagine how heartless some people can be to just say flat out no to refugees. Sure, there's a cost associated with taking so many people in and providing for them until they can stand on their own feet and every society has its own problems. However, if everyone (countries and people alike) contributes just a little bit, the gains will far outweigh the perceived losses.
ReplyDeleteThe Persian poem on the United Nations' Plaza of Nations (IIRC) comes to mind:
Human beings are members of a whole,
In creation of one essence and soul.
If one member is afflicted with pain,
Other members uneasy will remain.
If you've no sympathy for human pain,
The name of human you cannot retain!
