Well the Canadian dollar hit parity today (1US$ = 1CAN$), the economy is the strongest it's been in a while, we have a budget surplus, the housing market is on fire and the socialists recently wona seat in Quebec...first time in 20 years.
So now it seems like Shrub has found a new place to "dump" his immigration problem.
"The mayor of Windsor, Ont. has called on Prime Minister Stephen Harper to help his city deal with an influx of Mexican refugee claimants.
Over the past three weeks, about 200 Mexican citizens have crossed the Windsor-Detroit border and claimed refugee status in Canada.
Windsor Mayor Eddie Francis blamed the high number of arrivals on the U.S. crackdown on illegal immigrants and a Florida-based immigration consultant company that recently began advertising about the ease of settling in Canada.
For a $400 US fee, the company promised to deliver Mexicans illegally living in the U.S. to Canadian border crossings where they could apply for refugee status, Francis said."http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2007/09/20/mexican-windsor.html
