OTTAWA — Lawyers and advocates who work directly with refugees say they are dismayed by proposed changes to asylum laws included in the Liberals’ new budget bill, calling them a devastating attack on refugee rights in Canada.
The provision is based on the belief that Canada’s refugee system is similar enough to that of the U.S. that anyone rejected there is likely to be rejected here as well. Under the new provisions introduced Monday, asylum-seekers deemed ineligible to make claims in Canada will not necessarily be deported to their homelands. They will still undergo pre-removal risk assessments to determine if it is safe to send them back to their countries of origin.
Dench says she and her members, which include over 100 Canadian organizations that work directly with refugees and immigrants, were “in a state of shock and dismay and great disappointment” over the proposed changes.
The horror of upstate New York.
rexglacer does this make Liberals racists now or just xenophobe’s?!!!!!
Hmm, must be an election year. Sorry but the middleclass and those working hard to join it see though this ruse. Time for the liberals to pack their bags! elxn2019
Just amazed this wasn’t a higher priority on your website than Scarlett Johansson!
But that is what the conservatives wanted to do and they were called racists, when the liberals try to do something they do it sneaky, more lies from the liberals to the asylum seekers, liberals lie to everyone
Of course they are!
Did Trudeau “import” enough votes for key constituencies already then?
Thank you for your donation 🙏🏻👍🏻
This just may be the first thing Trudeau did good. Having said that, he could easily take more measures to protect our borders from illegal immigrants. These aren’t asylum seekers, that’s fake news, they are economic migrants.
Oh oh - look who just join the fascist hatful unCanadian party
rexglacer They’re economic migrants AKA PARASITES
Rampant idiocy at National Putz leaves journalist in 'shock and dismay', but NP says Putzmedia is worse

Finally some long needed action
This tweet opened the floodgates for thousands of unexpected guests to illegally enter Canada,
How Un-Canadian!!!
Sounds like good changes then. Less refugees fleeing from the shock and horror places without welfare means less expenses overall. ;)
