We do, at least i do. I strongly object to the fact that illegal aliens get special treatment at my expense.

Ever been to mexico? Count on showing your documentos numerous times at numerous checkpoints all the while with several well armed federales looking on and very alert as well.

I wonder just how they are not being treated like human beings?

Ship full of Sri Lankan refugees nears Canada: reports

(AFP) – 4 hours ago

MONTREAL — A ship full of Sri Lankan refugees was less than 320 kilometers (200 miles) from Canada's western shores and could be arriving late Thursday or Friday, local media said Wednesday.

US media earlier this month reported that US and Canadian authorities were monitoring the Sun Sea cargo ship in the Pacific as it was heading for Vancouver, in British Columbia, carrying refugees from the Sri Lankan civil war.

According to The Washington Post, the refugees include members of Sri Lanka's separatist Liberation Tigers of Tamil Ealam, which the United States and Canada deem a terrorist organization.

David Poopalapillai, a spokesman for Canadian Tamils, dismissed such allegations and blamed the Sri Lankan government of spreading rumors that the Tamil refugees belong to the separatist group.

Canadian authorities, however, take the possibility seriously and are preparing to detain the refugees from two to four months to verify their identities, Canada's Globe and Mail daily said Wednesday.

CBC television reported the ship is carrying an estimated 200 refugees from Sri Lanka.

In October of last year, another ship carrying 76 Sri Lankan refugees arrived in Canada. After months of internment, none of the refugees was proven to be a member of the outlawed separatist group and have been released.

In May last year, capping a four-decade civil war, Sri Lankan government troops finally defeated the separatist Liberation Tigers of Tamil Ealam.

Terry
I'm in san diego.
When I go with my son to the ER (for shunt problem or another brain tumor), I see the many illegals that don't have to show any document, but coming to ER to treat simple cold, since they this way they get it for free.
We can't afford to support it for too long......

OK they're here..

Dozens of border services officers waited on shore to meet the ship, whose 490 passengers are all seeking refugee protection in Canada. We need all we can get :O)
