Half of Canadians Want Refugees Deported

Oh, so we should be encouraging immigration by accepting the criminal element right from the get go?
Do you think that means these people are illegal refugees? You're trying to reply with an irrelevant point. The fact that refugees cannot be illegal and the fact that these people didn't cross the border legally are two separate concepts.
In fact, if these people had crossed at an official border crossing, our agreement with the United States would have had us turn them away. Because they crossed illegally, they take advantage of a loophole in that agreement which is only possibly because crossing the border illegally has no bearing on a refugee's legal status.
People try to apply the label "illegal" as excuse for their lack of compassion. The fact is, whether they crossed the border at an official crossing or not, Jesus-loving conservatives don't want them here anyway. They need to stop covering up their hatred for their fellow man with spurious nonsense about legality.
“What we’re seeing now is that people are crossing illegally trying to seek asylum here in Canada, risking life and limb.” – NDP immigration critic Jenny Kwan.
Are asylum seekers walking across the border into Canada actually breaking the law? - National | Globalnews.ca
“What is happening at our border right now is illegal.” – Conservative MP and leadership candidate Erin O’Toole.

Toronto immigration lawyer Guidy Mamann said that while the convention applies, it doesn’t overrule Canadian law.
“That does not mean that the way they are entering is legal,” he said. “That does not erase the illegality.”

guess you might be the stupid
Am I stupid for trying? Why do I keep coming back here?
You didn't understand what I wrote. You should go back to posting crank conspiracy theories. Maybe these refugees are smuggling Hillary Clinton's pizza across the border!
Of course I don't...that's why in our previous exchange I stated that as far as I was aware, there is no such term as illegal refugee.
What are you talking about?? They aren't even refugees...they're refugee claimants. Their claim hasn't been processed and they haven't deemed to be admissible or inadmissible into Canada. The only way they would be processed and cleared on arrival is if they followed proper protocol and applied for refugee status before they got here. This is not the route they have chosen, so anyone referring to them as refugees is simply incorrect and inaccurate.
This is such a bullsh*t insinuation. No one is saying they can't come here, only that they need to follow the rules. Insinuation that anyone who believes that proper legal process needs to be followed is somehow full of hatred toward refugees is disingenuous and on about the same moral plain as the personalities they are attempting to denigrate.
...asylum seekers.
That is common sense. Because snowflakes have a tough time with common sense they resort to name calling. What other options are there for them?
I agree, there's enough evidence of that all around. Do you have anything of substance to add to the discussion?
Thanks for substantiating your own point.
