Asylum Seekers: Then Prime Minister MacKenzie King

Asylum Seekers Dept: When contemplating this article, it struck me that while then prime minister MacKenzie King did also turn away asylum seekers by the boatload, Jewish ones in the last years before World War II, he did not raise billboards in Germany saying something like: Kanada ist fur Juden verboten, according to The Star. He seems to have been badly infected by one of Europe s worst forms of racism, practiced for more than a thousand years. Perhaps he will allow a few token Roma asylum seekers into Canada, but then he will probably make sure they land in private prisons, where the children are forcefully taken from their parents and locked up seperately and re: Canadian billboards warn of deportation, Jan. 26 Immigration Minister Jason Kenney has raised that type of billboard in Hungary in his campaign against Roma asylum seekers. Bogus refugees he called Roma last summer. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
