Syed Hussan and Canada Border Services Agency

Canada Border Services Agency: Is Premier Kathleen Wynne going to stand with the federal governments racist agenda or is she going to stand with immigrants? asked Syed Hussan of No One Is Illegal at a protest Monday near Queens Park, according to The Star. Last Thursday, the Canada Border Services Agency arrested 21 individuals , mostly Latin American construction workers, for immigration violations such as overstaying their visas or not appearing for their previously scheduled removals. Some of the migrants arrested during the blitz will be deported Tuesday and Provincial authorities have been accused of racial profiling after they participated in a joint vehicle inspection blitz last week with border enforcement officials that targeted undocumented migrants. People are waking up in fear across the city, across the province. They are afraid of going to work, sending their kids to school or going to the hospital because they are not sure if their cars are going to be pulled over simply because of the colour of their skin, Hussan told more than 50 protesters.
