The Canadian Government has proposed a bill to restrict some asylum requests and give the authorities more power to suspend the management of immigration applications.
Canadian Immigration Minister Lena Diab said the Strong Borders law is intended to curb organized crime and the flow of illegal drugs and weapons, while increasing the “integrity” of the country’s immigration system.
This includes provisions that would give the police more power to monitor the Canadian common border with the US.
It could also ban those who have been in Canada for more than a year by bringing an action for asylum. However, critics argued that the draft law aimed at expanding the ability of the authorities to open and check the mail would violate civil freedoms.
The proposed legislation is the increase in the pressure of Canadians, which historically was open to newcomers to limit immigration as the country examines the tense public services and housing crisis.
The previous government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau relied on an ambitious increase in economic growth for the ambitious purposes of immigration and overseen the increase in the sudden increase in people coming to Canada as temporary workers and students.
At the same time, Canada saw asylum requests when the applicants had been waiting for two years before their case was heard.
Prime Minister Mark Carney, who won the April federal elections, promised to pay attention to the Canadian “unsustainable” level of immigration.
Under current law, refugees may require asylum in Canada when they arrive at the arrival port, such as the airport, or when there is already in Canada, without any restrictions on how long they can be in the country before demanding asylum.
Restrictions on Net Operations
New rules will ban the requirements of those who have been in Canada for more than a year, can be deported.
They would also demand that people coming to Canada from the United States under a secure third party agreement – a long -term agreement requiring migrants to look for asylum in the first “safe” country they reach,
Those who do not comply with those terms will still be able to carry out a risk assessment to determine whether their safety is at risk if they are sent.
The law also gives the Government the power to directly suspend the processing of new applications “on public health and national security issues”.
The broad 127 -page measure would also expand the government’s power to open the mail to avoid criminal investigation.
These would introduce restrictions on cash operations exceeding $ 10,000 ($ 7,300; $ 5,400) and cash deposits from one person to another account.
In deciding on “stimuli in the US”
Jenny Kwan, a member of the new Democratic Party parliament, said the draft law “would be worried about many Canadians”.
A large part of new legislation is related to the flow of fentanyl and illegal weapons across the US and Canadian border – the problem that US President Donald Trump used as an justification for his rates in Canada.
The Minister of Society of Canada Gary Anandasangaree said he would briefly inform US border Tsar Tom Homan for new laws.
He acknowledged that the law would address the issues that were “stimuli in the US” and that he would probably get into Canadian and US trade negotiations.
However, he added “it’s not just about the US”, as well as to ensure Canadian borders.
Some defense groups criticized new rules. The measures offered by the migrant rights were called “immoral” and said they “drastically restrict the protection of refugees and allow massive shipment.”
