Anti-Immigrant Sentiment: Kelly Clements and Interview Friday

anti-immigrant sentiment: We could do a better job both showing what kind of integration has happened, trying to move the debate from one that is focused on fear to one that is focused on opportunity and advantages, she said, according to CTV. Clements spoke at the end of a two-day visit to Ottawa, where she made the pitch for Canada to increase how many refugees it will resettle but also play a leading role in reshaping the global approach to resettlement. The anti-refugee, anti-immigrant sentiment deployed by politicians is fuelled by fear, and the global challenge is to look at what drives that fear and respond to it, Kelly Clements said in an interview Friday. Canadians are already engaged in seeking practical solutions to the global refugee crisis next week is the inaugural meeting of the World Refugee Council, an organization based in Waterloo, Ont., and partially funded by the federal government. The UN is now working on a plan to put that declaration into action. Their work will support the outcome from landmark meeting in New York last September where UN member countries committed to finding new ways to deal with refugees. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
