Illegal aliens live first in U.S. then try to get status in Canada: Wikileaks
(The Canadian Press) – 4 hours ago
VANCOUVER — American politicians have long believed that Canada is a gateway for illegal immigrants, but an internal U.S. consular memo suggests the gate may be swinging the other way.
A recent cable released by online whistleblower Wikileaks says immigrants are living illegally for several years in the U.S. first, and then crossing into Canada and trying to frequently gain legal status in Vancouver.
U.S. consul in Vancouver Phillip Chicola writes in a cable to the White House that immigrants show up in Canada with new passports and different names to cover up previous orders of removal or unlawful presence in America.
Authorities in both countries have long referred to their boundary as being the longest unfortified border in the world.
But U.S. officials have previously accused Canada of being an easy stepping stone for illegal aliens to get into the States.
B.C. immigration expert Don DeVoretz says U.S. politicians have often thought of Canada as their back door for waiting terrorists.
