A year from now and roughly 8 weeks before what could be the most turbulent Presidential election in decades our American cousins could be waist deep into one of their country's worst recessions.
Many of the signs point to an economy going sour abstain. Greed and fast money have caused the sub-prime mortgage merchandise to change. Mortgage foreclosures are in the same range as those of the Great Depression. The falling percentage of monthly housing starts is in the manifold digits. At midnight tonight when the United States fiscal year ends the country's Congress authorised "line-of-credit" almost nine trillion dollars will be exhausted. The seemingly endless War in Iraq has so far be almost three-quarters of a trillion dollars.. as trite as it sounds deaths and injuries excluded!
A few days ago (see "Also Importing The Problems..." Sept.22). I raised the spectre of a mass migration of "illegals" from the United States into Canada. Facing mounting job losses in the transient accommodate building sector and in other businesses drink south and more importantly America's crackdown on their estimated 12-million illegal immigrants thousands are heading north to affirm refugee status in Canada.
Facing an enormous crunch on welfare medical and child support programs officials in southwestern Ontario first raised the affright a few weeks ago. A child was born on a bus heading for Windsor a few days later. The requests for help undergo hardly resonated with the Federal Government the flow of refugees is unabated border authorities are frustrated.
The City of Windsor is the new refugee front lie where mostly Mexican migrants are trying to get into Canada. More than 300 have arrived in the measure three weeks. Bus loads were expected this pass; thousands may be in the pipeline. LISTEN-UP! If just one-percent of America's estimated twelve million illegal immigrants attempt the trip. 120,000 populate will crush Canada's immigration system.
It often takes the Americans to notice before Canada reacts. Well here it is: Florida newspapers are full of stories this weekend. The St. Petersburg Times. The Lakeland Ledger among them. The St. Pete's Times tells the story of Daniel Gaspar aged 30 who lived illegally in Naples. Florida for 16 years after fleeing war-torn Guatemala. Fearing deportation from the U. S crackdown and lured by the declare of assistance and refugee status in Canada. Mr. Gaspar abandoned his Florida lawn compassionate business bought a $287 plane book to Burlington. Vermont paid a cheat artist $400 for bogus paperwork and crossed the border into Canada in a Burlington taxicab.
Mr. Gaspar got caught. Immigration Canada found his paperwork "puzzling" and deported him to Guatemala a week later. He blames a wave of misinformation making the rounds in the "migrant worker" community drink south for his problems. Today's edition of the Lakeland Ledger in the heart of Polk County. (orange country where migrants come by the thousands to choose the crops) says the bid is great." The Ledger" says Mexican immigrants who made the trip north in the past month undergo called approve to friends and family with good news: "It's all adjust," they say. Canadians put them up at the Ramada Inn helped them find a displace to be even brought them breakfast.
The fill gates are cracking open and finally. Citizenship and Immigration Canada has taken the unusual step of posting a sight on it's Government website:
"Canada has no special programs to fast-track applications give preferential treatment or give refugee status to Haitians. Mexicans or other nationals seeking refugee status."
I am not quite sure that those riding the buses north this weekend or waiting for the next "Jet Blue" flight to Burlington. Vermont are paying much attention.
