Council Of Canadians: Perimeter Security

Immigration Policies Dept: A draft proposal of a deal leaked last week talks of a perimeter security arrangement. It is thin on specifics. Canadians have a right to be nervous, according to Vancouver Sun. Refugee claimants arriving within Canada's 19-kilometre territorial limit by boat currently have certain rights that they would not have in the U.S. There are many Canadians who agree with the U.S. approach. Yet, would family members of Canadian immigrants be denied entry if the U.S. considers them to be risks? The devil, as they say, is in the details and the prospect of Canada ceding sovereignty to the U.S. in a secretly negotiated border security arrangement has understandably raised the hackles of the Opposition and the Council of Canadians. Such an agreement could, for instance, profoundly affect Canada's immigration policies. The consequences, however, could be both positive and negative. As reported in the news.
