And it turns out now that Canada tried to deport one of them in 2004, Raed Jaser. Of course the operative words is tried.
Jaser was arrested in August 2004 after authorities issued a warrant for his removal from Canada. He was allegedly working illegally and had used numerous aliases.
Jaser was born in the United Arab Emirates, but when he had a deportation hearing, he said he was a stateless Palestinian in his refugee application, so couldn`t be deported anywhere. Jaser came to Canada with his parents and two brothers in March 1993, flying into Toronto's Pearson Airport from Germany, where the family says it faced persecution. He came into Canada on false French documents.
Unlike his parents and siblings, Raed Jaser was unable to obtain Canadian citizenship because of criminal convictions, including acts of fraud in 1997 and unspecified offences in 2001, according to immigration records. But he had nowhere else to go and appeared to want to remain in Canada.
Jaser staved off deportation and become a permanent resident of Canada.
We heard the usual comment from other Muslims. “It’s a shock, actually,” worshippers from his mosque told news media, “It’s really a shock because you don’t expect a Muslim, a person from Islam -- which means peace -- to be doing those kind of things.”
I beg your pardon, but methinks the perception among non muslims is that we DO expect them to be involved in terror plots, as they are all around the world. Who else bombs things on a regular basis?
And one wonders what part CSIS has played, if any, in this arrest of two potential bombers in our midst?
So the impression left with many observers of Canada's political workings, is that no one is actually doing anything to protect the law abiding citizens in this country from terrorist infiltration because we are far too lenient and soft and acquiescent to the whims of illegal immigrants, and gullible to accept their lies.
Perhaps we need some extraordinary action in these circumstances, like simply forgetting our soft courts and the cost of trying to deport terrorist threats out of Canada. We should just get our JTF2 guys to kidnap the man, put him on a plane, give him a parachute, put a boot to his back over Israel or the winter Atlantic or hyena country in Kenya, and shove him out the door. In case you didn`t get it, these guys were here to KILL us!
Make sure there`s a hole in that chute.
Fast. Efficient. Correct and time and cost effective for the taxpayers of Canada.
Addenda - Immigration Minister says he will review rules on deportation now.
