    What, are we supposed to let the whole family stay if the child happens to be born here? That’s literally what they do anchor babies for

  2. Perhaps then these “families” can “reunify” in the country to where the deportee has been sent.

  3. So here’s the question.

    Are they here legally? Do they have the justification to be here?

    If they’re just gaming the system then good on CBSA for actually actioning something.

    It feels like the article is going for the sob story angle instead of addressing the facts head on.

    Can these activists and lawyers open up their homes and host? Nine times out of ten when I see some ridiculous feelings>facts policies, it’s coming from a single middle aged white woman

  5. I saw a story where activists alleged a family was being broken up. In reality some man happened to be some woman’s boyfriend for about 6 months whilst the process had been ongoing for years.

    “In response to previous inquiries from CBC about the topic of family separations, the agency has said, family members of protected persons who are eligible to apply for permanent residency aren’t necessarily “immune from removal proceedings.”

    “CBSA is legally mandated to remove from Canada, as quickly as possible, all foreign nationals who are … subject to an enforceable removal order,” the agency has said in a statement.”

    This should be the whole story. I dislike when articles prop up sad stories of family separations without providing any deeper context or details as to what led to the removal orders from the individuals. If you can’t tell us why it’s so “violent” (as per the article) to remove these individuals.. what violence specifically?

    I’d have a lot more compassion if it wasn’t simply “Person gets legal order enforced against them.” and told us specifically why those orders shouldn’t be in place, beyond “they’ve got kids!”.

  7. The only issue with this is the headline reading “in Quebec” and not “across Canada”

  8. CBC is always carrying water for the most ridiculous takes, people, and situations.

    Don’t come in illegally or over stay and you won’t be removed. Why is that such a hard concept?

    Every 5th or 6th article from this “national” broadcaster is some immigrant sob story. Defund.

    This is what happens when the federal govt, the one we have had for 11 years no and counting, has failed Canada and its TAX PAYERS!!!! It sickens me to think we are all paying for this failed policy… failed social experiment.

    I can’t help but think mass migration is the liberal way of replacing their baby boomer voting block who are expiring due to old age.

  12. Is CBSA doing something wrong or just doing their job? Sounds like the latter to me.

    And if one person from a family of four is being deported because they can’t legally stay here, we aren’t breaking up a family. The other three don’t have to remain here.

    Unpopular (but probably popular) opinion: don’t have kids if you’re in a precarious situation. Use birth control or have an abortion if you cannot provide a stable life to that child. 

  14. Well in that case the family can go with them and come back when they are all legal.

    Amazing. More please. I’m in Montreal and these families are just here for a free ride with zero respect for any way of life here. 

  16. “Canada is deporting more people than under former Conservative prime minister Stephen Harper. Deportations peaked under Harper in 2012 at nearly 19,000. Last year, CBSA reported a new high at 23,160 removals across the country.”

    Pretty fucking dishonest to write this but fail to mention how many more people are coming in now than they were back in 2012 (~250k then vs 395k target for 2025). But if they did that then the whole narrative falls apart I guess.

    Why are taxpayers paying for the CBC to advocate for the plight of random illegals?

  18. According_Comedian69 on

    CBC doing their best to promote illegal immigration.

    This is a CROWN Corporation. Tax dollars are going towards this absolute drivel.

    So the article is pointing out the heartbreak of having your family split up but it’s not saying why it’s being split up. Why are single members being deported? Have they broken the law, do they have unlawful claims?

    I would have to assume that to some degree, people are aware they are facing potential deportation and they are aware of well before it happens. This has to be a known risk to people who marry or have children with someone who is facing deportation.

    I wish the news would focus on providing the full facts and not just the feelings and emotions.

  20. >Poisson said her organization alone has worked with eight families in the last two months where **one parent faced deportation while the rest of the family would remain in Canada.** One father was deported last week, while six cases won temporary reprieves, and another one is in the midst of fighting to stay.

    This is some ultra shallow reporting from CBC here. Why was the father deported while others were allowed to stay? Was he here illegally? Did he falsify documents? Did he commit crimes without having PR / citizenship?

    It is impossible to make a decision on the outcomes without more understanding on the nuance of each of these cases

    Not crying about this one. CBC needs to stop generating stupid nothing burger so stories and report news, not create some BS out of nothing. CBSA isn’t ICE and it is still very underfunded; we should be encouraging the feds to kick them some more money for enforcement.
