Refugee Claimants: Immigration

Tamil Men Dept: Facing an “unprecedented” influx of refugee claimants, the IRB said it is piling on resources, including bringing in a retired adjudicator, to speed the hearings. So far, the board is far outpacing its record from the previous round of Tamil migrants, when it took four days to conduct reviews for 76 Tamil men, according to Globe And Mail. “Canadians are pretty concerned when a whole boat of people comes – not through any normal application process, not through any normal arrival channel – and just simply lands,” Mr. Harper said at a news conference in Mississauga, Ont., on Tuesday and the brief interruption – cut short by the IRB adjudicator who asked the child be moved far from the phone – was the solitary disruption in a speedy process of conducting detention reviews for 92 migrants on Tuesday. None have been released from custody yet. This time, Ottawa is taking a tougher stand on illegal arrivals, with Prime Minister Stephen Harper Prime vowing to stop the flow of ship-borne migrants to Canadian shores, saying he will “not hesitate to strengthen the laws if we have to.” As reported in the news.
