Refugees that come en masse pay somebody for their long boatride, where does that money go? We don't know.
By encouraging boatloads of refugess to come here in this way we give the terrorist Tamil tigers a chance to make money and buy arms to continue their struggle. This encourages terrorism, not in Canada, but elsewhere in the world. Do we want to do this? I don't think we should.

Human smuggling plan flawed, say refugee experts

OTTAWA—Detaining migrants who arrive in Canada in large groups for a longer period than other asylum seekers would do little to crack down on smuggling, refugee experts say, and might also violate human rights.
Critics reacted harshly on Tuesday to a report by The Canadian Press that the Conservative government intends to create a new class of refugee claimants — the “mass arrival” — to help combat human smuggling.
The report published Monday cites a draft memo of proposed changes to immigration law, which would require migrants who land in Canada in large numbers — such as the nearly 500 Tamils who arrived on the coast of British Columbia aboard the MV Sun Sea ship this summer — to wait two weeks instead of two days for their first detention hearing.
The draft proposal also calls for the doubling the waiting period for subsequent detention reviews to 60 days from 30.
The memo noted legislation would give the immigration minister new powers “to designate as a mass arrival” a large group of asylum seekers “where the minister is of the opinion that resources available to respond to the particular circumstances of the arrival means examinations cannot be conducted in a timely manner.”
