Canada's Lost Illegals

TheStar.com:

OTTAWA -- Canada's border agency has lost track of 41,000 illegal immigrants, and this is "jeopardizing the integrity of Canada's immigration program," Auditor General Sheila Fraser says.

Fraser said in her spring report released yesterday that the Canada Border Services Agency has issued warrants for the deportation of these people, but doesn't have a clue where they are or if they are still in Canada.

"The agency's working inventory contains 22,000 individuals with enforceable removal orders, whose whereabouts are known to the agency. The remaining 41,000 cases are individuals with immigration warrants for removal, whose whereabouts are unknown to the agency," her report states.

Debbie Schlussel addresses the issue with commentary/photos and points out that Canada's problem is also the U.S.'s problem since many of Canada's lost aliens disappear into the American abyss.
