Citizenship and Immigration - June 18, 2013

So the opposition parties are happy to keep those convicted of terrorist acts in the country if they are Canadian citizens? Doesn't that rather nullify who and what they are? If they are Canadians, committing terrorist acts turns them into non-Canadians. Opposition members must have a death wish.

Question: To what country do you deport someone born in Canada? It seems those of your xenophobic ilk are so enraptured by flagwavery and pseudo-patriotic jibber-jabber as to be completely blind to the problems caused by this so-called PMB. Having a harsher punishment for someone who has citizenship in another country than for "real" (READ: White Anglo-Saxon) Canadians is disgusting. This hypocrisy is further highlighted when you consider the cases of people who are born, raised and have only ever lived in Canada, but possess foreign citizenship by virtue that one of their parents comes from there. In other words, a good Canadian kid could be deported by virtue of the fact that mum or dad is Iranian or Indian. What's more, this punishment would only apply to those who perpetrate crimes against the CF. Put differently: If a brown kid chucks a rock at a soldier, they could be deported. If a white kid kid shoots up a high school...nothing. Duh, duh, duh.
