Refugee Camp: Canadian Immigration and Hassan Yussuff

refugee camp: The situation in Canada is not as stark as what we're seeing in the United States where more than 2,900 children have been detained between May and June alone, according to Toronto Star. Yet a total of 595 minors have been detained at Canadian immigration holding centres in the past three years. He's right, to a certain extent. Forty-three were unaccompanied by an adult. The confinement of even one child should be unacceptable to every single one of us, particularly as we recall with shame this country's legacy of residential schools, write Hassan Yussuff.
