Conservative leadership candidate Steven Blaney says Canada must act immediately to stop illegal immigrants from entering the country.
Blaney is proposing a series of measures he believes will make the border airtight.
They include giving Canadian authorities the right to immediately hand over illegal immigrants to their American counterparts.
He also wants the government to hire an additional 200 RCMP officers and an extra 200 agents at the Canada Border Services Agency.
Blaney told a news conference in Montreal today the new hires would cost about $40 million.
The MP for Bellechasse-Les Etchemins-Levis is also calling on cities to fully co-operate with authorities, especially with regard to illegal immigrants who have criminal records.

That’s a fuck ton of money for something that is going to be virtually ineffective and, when it actually does work, cruel.
Us Canadians are so nice aren’t we? The ‘new hires’ will probably even apologize to the refugees they’re handing over to the rather brutal American authorities! How Canadian!

You know what would work, wouldn’t violate international law, wouldn’t be cruel, would stop the current wave of undocumented refugees, and would cost $0?
Suspending or scrapping the Safe Third Country Agreement.
But somehow that’s never on the agenda when “conservatives” talk refugees.
