These characters are accused of crimes against humanity in their home countries--i.e. muder, torture and rape, etc. [See 680 news item, "Ottawa expands Canadian Border Services Agency's fugitives list."]
Of course, the first question must be: How did they get into this country in the first place? Second, these are only the 2,700 we know of, so how many more are there out there?
A possible answer to the first question might be Canada's fixation with multiculturalism, to the point that it puts out the welcome mat for all and sundry with a foreign address. However, we are improving in that department because we at least know who these 2,700 goons are.
Mind you, that doesn't help so long as the prevailing practice is to leave the door open for more of these thugs to freely walk through it--collecting full social benefits along the way. It also doesn't help that the prevailing attitude about Canada is that, culturally speaking, it doesn't exist.
To end, let me make it clear that I believe qualified immigration is fine, I also believe multicuralism is fine--so long as it doesn't supplant those traditions which make this country uniquely Canadian--i.e. the RCMP's stetson-style hats, and respectfully removing one's hat in a Legion.
Otherwise, it must be seen as an insult to the pioneers who made this country great.
