Election Pledge and Government

public relations problem: It a smart move, according to Hamilton Spectator. The deadline was unrealistic from the start. His election pledge was to have them all here by the end of the year, but the government now says it needs until February to do intake processing and screening. Long before the Paris attacks, some immigration and settlement experts were saying the end of the year just wasn't enough time to properly screen and ensure logistics were sound. So faced with an unrealistic deadline and a public relations problem, the government did what it should have done earlier — maintained the pledge but set aside the timing. After the attacks, that worry became more urgent given the ISIS pledge to use legitimate refugees as cover for hiding terrorists. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
