Canada Loses Almost 600 Criminal Foreigners It Intended to Deport

A group of 599 foreign nationals with criminal records that Canada’s Border Services Agency (CBSA) intended to deport “have gone missing,” the Globe and Mail revealed in a shocking report on Tuesday.
An expert speaking to the Canadian newspaper observed that the nation’s border officials had failed “for decades” to apprehend and deport some foreign citizens with criminal records. Even detaining individuals identified as “high-risk” foreign nationals before deporting them has become a struggle for Ottawa, the report explained, as immigrant rights’ groups denounced law enforcement actions to protect the domestic population from foreign criminals.
Canada experienced a dramatic surge in its foreign-born population during the decade that former Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau held office, who greatly facilitated international travel and immigration to the country. The policy led to a significant increase in the foreign-born population, particularly that of foreign-born males of employment age, which also fed a growing housing and job crisis. Towards the end of his term in 2014, before announcing that he would resign from his post as head of government, Trudeau promised to dramatically reduce rates of immigration to the country, claiming it was “not fair” for Canadians to have to compete for homes and jobs with a booming foreign-born population.
Trudeau was succeeded by his hand-picked successor Mark Carney, a finance expert with no political experience who trounced longtime Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre in an election where Liberals had trailed by up to 26 points in some polls. Carney is promoting the passage of a bill to address the mass migration during the past decade, called the “Strong Borders Act,” which leftist groups condemned as putting too many onerous requirements on migrants and appearing to make concessions to improve relations with President Donald Trump. Trump has cited Canada’s lax border enforcement as one of many reasons to impose tariffs on its exports to America.
