Canada slams door on Roma refugees

Immigration Minister Jason Kenney announced changes to Canada's Immigration Act today that are specifically targeted at Roma refugees.

He didn't stand up in parliament and put it in those words, of course. He's a politician.

What he did say is that there has been a surge in bogus refugee claims from "democratic" countries in the EU.

That would be democratic countries like Hungary, where the ruling extreme right coalition has declared war on the Roma population.

Which would explain the surge of refugee claims from Hungarian Roma.

But because Hungary is "democratic" according to the dictates of the extreme right government in Canada, those refugee claims are self-evidently bogus.

Ottawa had a similar policy going on in the 30's vis-a-vis Jewish refugees from Germany. Nazi Germany was a democratic country after all.

What could go wrong?
