- The safe-country dilemma: why offering asylum is an obligation
  Posted by Shemuses from Globe and Mail
  Last week, Mr. Justice Michael Phelan of the Federal Court of Canada ruled that, when all of the evidence is considered, it is not reasonably possible to conclude that the United States is a safe country for refugees. As a result, he found that Canada is wrong to force refugee claimants back to the U.S. without giving them a hearing in this country. It was bound to be an unpopular decision, for all the reasons that make refugees among the most vulnerable and abused people in the world.

- Lou Dobbs Spreads Vile Misinformation about Immigrants
  Posted by Shemuses from Alternet
  The CNN personality, who continues to beat the drum against undocumented immigrants, claims to be a journalist. If he really is one, he should respect facts and correct errors.

- Losing Our Minds Over Immigration
  Posted by Shemuses from Alternet
  By repeating the phrase "illegal immigrants," the media and politicians have created a misleading framework to talk about immigration.

- Vancouver no longer the same immigrant magnet
  Posted by Shemuses from CBC
  The Vancouver region is no longer attracting as many immigrants it once did, according to the latest figures released from Statistics Canada's 2006 census. For the second census in a row, the area has experienced a decline in new arrivals during the last five years. Immigration rates from many overseas countries, such as India and China, remain steady, but one of the fastest-growing immigrant groups does not come from overseas. More than 8,000 Americans immigrated to B.C. between 2001 and 2006.

- Canada's foreign-born population hits 75-year high
  Posted by Shemuses from Globe and Mail
  One in every five Canadians is now foreign-born, the highest proportion in 75 years, a shift likely to have profound consequences for Canada's economic and cultural future. Canada is becoming ever more diverse, Statistics Canada's 2006 census shows. The country's foreign-born population soared 13.6 per cent between 2001 and 2006 — four times higher than the Canadian-born population.

B.C. apologizes for Komagata Maru incident

I’m all for political correctness under most circumstances, but this one kind of reeks of political pandering to me. And misplaced pandering, at that. Why apologise now for that incident, when a whole bunch of injustices perpetrated to two larger Asian immigrant populations in BC – the Chinese and Japanese – remain unanswered? Were earlier apologies for specific incidents supposed to be blanket apologies?

NPR: Bill Gates Targets Visa Rules for Tech Workers

NPR let Gates dodge most of the questions refusing to follow up or request him to answer the question they asked. Gates kept returning to his talking points.

Microsoft | Revamp visa system, Gates urges Congress | Seattle Times Newspaper

Gates seemed to laugh before he answered the question about whether more H1B visa workers depress wages in the U.S. The laugh seems like a tell to me i.e. he’s lying.
