New Immigration: Operational Bulletin

Immigration Policy Dept: About 200 U.S. soldiers who fled the Iraq war are in Canada, and the recently introduced policy singles out their refugee claims for special attention. The policy, called Operational Bulletin 202, says that because deserting the military is a crime, the war resisters may not be eligible for asylum, according to CBC. "It was a difficult decision to make, thinking I might not ever go back or see my family again," McDowell said and a new immigration policy is denying American war resisters due process, human rights advocates say, and they are calling on the government to rescind it. War resister Phil McDowell said he will never forget the day he decided to flee to Canada. As reported in the news.
