Iain Duncan Smith: Seeking Asylum

Immigration Minister Dept: Immigration Minister Jason Kenney said this week his government is determined to head off a migrant ship carrying 87 Sri Lankan Tamils moored off New Zealand. The migrants say they are seeking asylum in New Zealand. They say they have no intention of coming to Canada, according to Montreal Gazette. In Britain, news that more immigrants settle there than in any other European country - about 400,000 in 2009 - was met with consternation by the Conservative government. Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith warned that if the government did not tighten immigration rules, native-born Britons would not be hired. British businesses snapped back that immigrants have a better work ethic and in Canada, the Conservative government is alert for any sign that irregular refugee claimants might try to reach our shores. In the United States this spring, the Supreme Court upheld the Legal Arizona Workers Act of 2007, which allows the state to close businesses that knowingly hire undocumented workers. In the Huffington Post, Raul A. Reyes pointed out that the law has two major flaws: It has not reduced illegal immigration and, in its first year, 2008, it led to a 13-per-cent drop in state income tax. As reported in the news.
@t refugee claimants, huffington post
