Canada grants asylum to 54 Iraqi Palestinians
2006-11-03
Canada is granting asylum to 54 Palestinians living in a Jordanian refugee camp who fled from their homes in Iraq two years ago, a UN representative said Thursday. The refugees were among 150 Palestinians living in the Ruweishid refugee camp, some 350 kilometers (217 miles) east of the Jordanian capital without valid identification documents, said Robert Breen, Jordan's representative for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. "They are expected in their new home before the end of the year," Breen said on the telephone.

Breen said Canadian authorities had interviewed all 150 refugees, but accepted only 54, including some families and single men. He said the UNHCR hoped to find a solution for the remaining 96 Palestinians in the camp. UNHCR has found new homes in Sweden, Denmark, Finland and New Zealand for some 1,200 refugees who fled the war-torn country, the bulk of them Iranian Kurds who had been living in Iraq.

#6  Ummm ... aren't these Iraqi Palestinians the absolute scum of the earth? Weren't these the most murderous possible thugs that Saddam could find to serve as enforcers?

Yes. Which is why Canada wants them.

Gotta have some enforcers on hand.

#5  Who needs them?

Erem ... Perhaps Canada, in order to locate the most hate spewing mosques?

#3  Give us your pathological liars, your wretched dead-end gene pools, your arrogant masses yearning to subjugate us, please send them to North America and then our very own home-grown traitors the despicable back stabbers will enable them to destroy our own priceless home.

Zenster aren't these Iraqi Palestinians the absolute scum of the earth?

yes Zen they are,
the Jarrar family comes to mind...several of their spawn are presently living here in OUR country and up North in 0'Canada, credit due I must add to the Wonderful Washington Immigration Bureaucrats, Cindy Sheehan and her Pink Pukes.
