Opinion: Bureaucratic malice belies Canada’s welcome to refugees | Vancouver Sun
Having trouble figuring out the difference between an asylum seeker and a refugee?
It's easy to best you.
Quite a bit, but you wouldn't understand it. So, pearls before swine, n'est-ce pas?
So what are you arguing with me about?
You should stop calling them refugees then.
Of course they are. When we let in Syrian refugees, it's done through the official bureaucratic process and plenty of people said we shouldn't be doing it. Because the legality of their crossing wasn't an issue, it couldn't be used as an excuse. Now with these people coming from the United States, the legality of their crossing is an issue and people can use it as an excuse, and they have. Shockingly it's the same people.
nice dance es. Don't worry nobody cares that you used name calling while denegrating those who call names. My riding a high horse on this has nothing to do with it either. Besides, my horse is only this high cause yours is so very very low.
LOL.
As you apparently must not be aware, the OP has nothing to do with Syrian refugees, it is stating that a high percentage of Canadians believe that illegal border crossers coming from the US should be sent back. They call them illegal refugees in the link, and we both agree this is not correct terminology. I however, understand that this term is being used (incorrectly) to define illegal border crossing asylum seekers, since as we agree, true refugees following established process do not illegally cross the border.
If you read the link in the first post, the first line states that "Support is growing among Canadians to deport illegal refugees who are entering Canada at unofficial border crossings." To try and suggest that this has anything whatsoever to do with Syrian refugees who have entered through the proper refugee system is disingenuous and irrelevant. Trying to argue that this is not an issue because terminology is being used incorrectly is missing the point entirely.
What "people" are you talking about? Do you have anything to back up your allegation or is this just baseless rhetoric?
Do you agree or not agree that people crossing the border illegally is an issue?
As for terminology, I reject the expression "illegal refugee" because it implies that refugees could be legal or illegal, which they cannot. But I do accept calling people refugees who haven't been granted refugee status but are seeking it. In discussion, using the expression with a general meaning without legal implications is useful. However, when you use the term "illegal refugee" you suggest that it's possible to be an illegal refugee and, in my experience, are using the term as an excuse deny refugee seekers legitimacy.
You seem to have misunderstood why I mentioned Syrian refugees.
Yes, of course, these people are risking their lives to come here. They need immediate medical attention on arrival and they need places to live and food to eat while their claims are processed.
lol if you call that "factual" we will call you "dimb" [sic]
don't worry though
its all good...unkle georgie S will hone you a new one on train day
yeah its called 'where they came from"
and if your ol SOROS funded nazis pals would stop bombing the place and stealing all the gold and resources, these folks could go home
So you accept calling people refugees who aren't, but reject calling people illegal who cross an international border illegally. This is where we disagree...I prefer to deal in logic.
Ironically, if you accept calling these people refugees even thought they are not, then technically the term illegal refugee is correct by this standard.
No, I reject calling refugees illegal. Did you deliberately drop the word "refugee" to warp my words and not think I'd notice?
I could explain it to you again, if you want. I thought it was easy to understand.
No, deception is not my style. Logic demands that if people are crossing an international border illegally, they're here illegally. If you prefer to call people who have not been granted refugee status refugees, that's you're call...but it's incorrect.
Better not, you may confuse yourself more.
