"Here's a good one for you to bitch about: No doubt you will ignore Canada's involvement and focus your mean spirited complaints on the US.

Canadian boy caught in Texas detention"

I read the link. Canada was following its own immigration laws. They could use some overhaul. However, not all the laws are mean-spirited as you tend to say so frequently. The following is from January, 1997 (close to the time Dickey points out:

"Johann Dueck, 76, a retired mechanic, is accused of taking part in the killing of Jews and other civilians as a member of the Selidovka district police in German-occupied Ukraine from 1941 to 1943.

Helmut Oberlander, 72, is accused of having been a member of a commando unit that massacred hundreds of thousands of Jews in Ukraine and Crimea after the German army's advance into the southern Soviet Union in the summer and fall of 1941.

Erichs Tobiass, 84, is accused of participating in the execution of civilians in Latvia from 1941 to 1943 as a member of the Latvian security police, an SS auxiliary unit responsible for the deaths of 30,000 Latvian Jews"

How this trash got INTO Canada in the first place really bothers me. And Canada has had a history of ignoring shit like this. That is changing. Fast enough? Not IMO. BUT, Canada's involvement? It obeyed its laws. WHF is the US doing with Guantanamo and the Hutto Detention Centre (which I posted info about to Mudcat about two or three months ago, and few people seemed overly concerned)? I guess they have them to hold all the bad folks Canada deports, huh?
