Village Pond Dept: Apparently the only way that failed refugee claimant Gloria Patricia Uribe can satisfy Immigration Canada she and her toddlers face mortal peril in narcocontrolled Columbia is to be deported and get herself and her Canadian-born kids killed. They wouldn't be the first rejected claimants to be returned to their homelands only to meet violent deaths, according to Montreal Gazette. I thought we could do better. Apparently not and re: "Potential deportee appeals for asylum," Gazette, Sept. 8 . This reminds me of the old forensic test for identifying witches. The accused woman would be dunked in the village pond. If she floated, clearly she was a witch to be burned or hanged. If she drowned, well, too bad, but she had at least demonstrated her innocence. As
reported in the news.
@t mortal peril, immigration canada
