Canadian Liberals let in nearly 25k unvetted asylum seekers from world’s most dangerous countries: report
The Trudeau government allowed some 24,599 people from countries such as Afghanistan and Yemen into Canada between 2019 and 2023 without even an interview, according to a former Immigration policy director.
The report, by the Toronto-based C.D. Howe Institute, and authored by James Yousif, who is the former director of policy at Immigration, noted how the federal government “slashed all its usual controls to weed out fraudsters, human traffickers and terrorists” in letting these people into the nation.
“A person from a country on the IRB’s Country List can enter Canada, make a claim for asylum, and receive a positive determination in the mail, without being asked a single question,” noted the report.
