Illegal x 2 = Refugee?

“The fact someone wants to come here for better economic opportunity or a better quality of life … that’s no basis for a successful refugee claim.” That’s not the Minutemen talking, but rather Canadian Immigration Refugee Board (IRB) spokesman Charles Hawkins. Over the past three weeks, approximately 200 illegal immigrants from the U.S. entered Canada at the Detroit River crossings and applied in Windsor for shelter and social assistance. So far, no cries of racism or xenophobia against the Canadians for defending their borders.
