APRES NOUS, LE DELUGE - (LOUIS XIV)
______________________________________
In his 1972 book, CAMP OF THE SAINTS, French author Jean Raspail foresaw an
armada of the economically disadvantaged inexorably overrunning the the
rest of the world. His book is considered not-quite-nice by Canada Customs
so they banned it. (Maybe it should claim refugee status) Nevertheless, in
the pages of the Sept. 2 National Post, Raspail's book is thoughtfully
reexamined by Ian Hunter, professor emeritus, Faculty of Law at the
University of Western Ontario ...
"Are the boatloads of suffering humanity to be considered as enemies or
refugees? Can a Western government committed to decades of human rights
rhetoric formulate any effective response? Mr. Raspail doubts it. INSTEAD
THE GOVERNMENT SETS UP INTER-MINISTERIAL COMMITTEES, ISSUES PONDEROUS
COMMUNIQUES AND BROADCASTS BULLETINS TO ITS CITIZENS IN BUREAUCRATESE THAT
SERVE TO ANAESTHETIZE THE POPULATION."
All of which leads us to wonder whether immigration lawyers and triads
should really be cashing in on all this human misery? They should -
because they really "care". And so do we. That's why we feel tremendously
ennobled when we offer Camp of the Saints for $14 via: C-FAR BOOKS - PO Box

- INVASION DATELINE -
-- July 7: Empty ghost vessel reported drifting off the Queen Charlotte
Islands. It sank after disgorging an unknown
number of illegals. Question: How long has this been going on?
-- July 20: First intercepted vessel carries 123 Chinese illegals to Nootka
Sound. This test of Canada's will must have been deemed a thumping success.
Mustn't forget the home made weapons and hunger strike. While there were 19
known crew/enforcers on board - all 123 launch refugee claims and most are
released - 5 fail to show up at first opportunity to prove good intentions.
The first to actually stand before the Refugee Board is rejected (see below).
-- Aug. 11: Ship #2 dumps 131 Chinese illegals on Queen Charlotte Islands.
Disturbing preponderance of underage girls. A (male) straggler left behind
on an isolated, uninhabited island, only reported a week or so later, is
still missing. Just today Canadians learn that a woman who died during the
voyage was tossed overboard. There were 22 known crew/enforcers on board.
-- Aug. 12: 132 Chinese illegals flushed out on a ship docked in Savannah,
Ga. They are behind a hatch which has been welded and bolted from the inside.
-- Aug. 15: U.S. Coast Guard intercepts ship carrying 100 Chinese illegals
near Mariana Islands, south of Japan. Destination is variously described
as Canada or the US.
-- Aug. 17: In a bit of regrettable stage management, governing Liberals
choose this moment to announce their intention to double immigration intake
rates.
-- Aug. 26: Canadian immigration offices in Hong Kong and Beijing come
under intense scrutiny for alleged long-standing corruption of local
officials and and "alleged links between certain politicians and triad
leaders".
-- Aug. 27: About 75 Chinese migrants rescued from boat off island of
Midway, near Hawaii, by U.S. Coast Guard. Destination is variously
described as Canada or the US.
-- Aug. 31: Ship #3 -- Another 190, now referred to as "the most recent".
Estimated length of voyage: 30 days (not 72 as originally reported). So
far, there are 7 known crew/enforcers on board.
-- Sept. 2: Immigration spokesman: "There is a good chance we could have
more arrivals this year."

COMIC RELIEF AT THE REFUGEE CIRCUS
"At a hearing on Monday, the review board rejected the claim [the first
from the first ship] of a 16-year-old who said he was persecuted in China
because he wanted to be a Christian. After vigorous questioning, the board
decided it did not believe the boy, who contradicted himself and could not
remember that Jesus is the central figure in Christianity. Victoria lawyer
Don Bohun, who represented the teenager at the hearing, said the youth was
intimidated and 'blanked out' on answers he knew."
(Globe and Mail, Sept. 1, 1999)
"Asked which figure was at the head of the Christian faith, Bohun said, his
client replied: 'Mr. Lee, who is in charge of the prayer meetings.' Bohun
said his client's lack of knowledge about the Christian faith was because
he was -illiterate- and unaware of the content of the flyers he was
distributing. Bohun said he has not yet decided whether to appeal the
decision."

Change immigration law: Reform
Thu Sep 2 1999 <excerpted>
VICTORIA - At a news conference in Victoria, four Reform MPs said the
government should change the law to speed up the deportation process,
reduce the number of appeals, and put more onus on the migrants to prove
they're legitimate refugees.
The MPs say, LEFT UNCHECKED, ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION WILL DESTROY CANADIAN
SOCIETY.
Vancouver Island MP Gary Lunn says the government is turning a blind eye to
the growth of organized people SMUGGLING RINGS THAT BRING IN MIGRANTS
CARRYING DISEASES, SUCH AS TUBERCULOSIS, WHO ARE THEN ALLOWED TO LIVE OFF
CANADA'S GENEROUS SOCIAL PROGRAMS. "Place the onus on them," said Lunn,
"you show us a minimum level of why you're fleeing persecution, and if you
can, we'll put you into the system."
Reform's immigration critic, Leon Benoit, says if the would-be refugee is
turned away, he or she should be deported almost immediately. "YOU CAN
SPEED UP THE PROCESS SO THAT IT'S FINISHED WITHIN DAYS OR WEEKS, RATHER
THAN MONTHS OR YEARS."
University of Victoria political scientist Robert Bedeski says the Liberal
government may disagree with Reform's proposals, but he says maintaining
the status quo is not an
option either. <excerpted>
________ and _________
Ottawa backs migrants' rights:
Moe Sihota and Ujjal Dosanjh demand some boat people be deported immediately.
B.C. Attorney-General Ujjal Dosanjh and cabinet colleague Moe Sihota want a
group of Chinese migrants deported immediately to discourage
human-smuggling rings, but the federal immigration minister insists anyone
who arrives in Canada ``has the right to claim refugee status and have
their case heard.''
The debate over a wave of Chinese migrants arriving on B.C.'s shores in
unmarked ships this summer reached a crescendo Tuesday as about 190 more
so-called boat people were being unloaded from a third decrepit vessel in
Esperanza Inlet on Vancouver Island's northwest coast.
Sihota on Tuesday demanded that 58 Chinese migrants who arrived in
mid-August -- who failed to meet the qualifications for refugee status --
be returned to China as a sign that Canada's borders are not open.
``The sooner . . . those people are returned, then I think that will abort
the efforts of the smugglers to encourage people to come to Canada,''
Sihota said Tuesday.
Dosanjh generally agreed, but also called for tougher laws, speedier
immigration processing and increased police enforcement to stem the flow of
illegal migrants to Canada.
``I think definitely we need to enhance the effectiveness of the process,''
Dosanjh said, citing the anger of Canadians toward illegal migrants.
``Nobody likes the fact that we are being deluged by these kinds of ships.''
... Caplan, in a separate interview with CFRB radio in Toronto,
acknowledged a troubling pattern in the two previous groups of Chinese
migrants to reach British Columbia this summer.
It appears many didn't pay cash up front for the trip. Instead they or
their families promised to pay off the debt for their passage in future.
``In a way, I guess, you could say there is an indentured servitude
attached to this,'' said the minister. <excerpted>

So, just to be clear on this: if you notice that underage girls have been
smuggled into the country by a criminal enterprise and express misgivings
-- you are motivated by "hate". On the other hand, if you charge a fee to
ensure that they can remain here (in thrall to that criminal organization)
line starts here for your Order of Canada?
_____________________________________
According to Robert Bedeski, a professor of political science at the
University of Victoria and an expert on international security in northeast
Asia: "It is wrong to suggest that people who are critical of Canada's
refugee policy are being racist," he says. "Ethnic Chinese are more
concerned about this than anyone, more angered. The Chinese who arrived
here legitimately are very concerned. They know it reflects poorly on their
community. And they know they are the ones who will mostly likely be
victimized by the criminals who enter illegally."
Prof. Bedeski said he expects shiploads of illegals will keep arriving on
B.C.'s coast as long as the weather and the immigration policy assures safe
sailing.
"The reception the first ships got has sent a signal that even if you get
caught, you will be treated lightly," he said. "Canada is known as a soft
touch."
Meanwhile, an "immigration industry" has built up on both sides of the
Pacific. In China, organized criminals, with the complicity of local
authorities, organize the shipments of human cargoes. Here in B.C., a
network of lawyers and social workers wait to greet them after the RCMP and
the Coast Guard have helped them land." <excerpted>

New arrivals anger Chinese Canadians
OTTAWA -- Outraged by the arrival of a third ship carrying illegal Chinese
migrants on the British Columbia coast, leaders of the Chinese Canadian
community have joined in demands that Ottawa take action.
''It seems the Canadian government is co-operating with the illegal
migrants and so-called refugees,'' says Derick Cheng, a Vancouver
pharmacist who arrived in Canada 36 years ago and who is now chairman of
Vancouver's Chinese Cultural Centre.
''We are very frustrated. There's a feeling here that, if this keeps going
on and the government doesn't do anything, there will be a backlash from
the mainstream Canadian community, who cannot differentiate which Chinese
are here legally and which are here illegally.
''There is a portion of the Chinese community who are not abiding by the
law, who are giving all of us who are here legally a black eye.''
The latest load of migrants were loaded onto three Canadian ships - the
Canadian Coast Guard's Tanu, the RCMP's Inkster and the HMCS Algonquin -
yesterday after authorities became fearful the rusting ship they had been
on for 72 days might sink. Immigration spokesman George Varnai described it
as in ''a pretty decrepit state.''
Dayle Crawford, mayor of Gold River, B.C., says local residents are furious
about the arrival of illegal residents in her town, which has been
devastated by the closing of the local pulp mill.
''Canada is becoming a joke to the outside world,'' she said. ''We have to
start taking care of our own before we start taking care of others. We have
to start worrying about Canadians.''
Despite mounting public hostility to the wave of new arrivals, Immigration
Minister Elinor Caplan said yesterday that all refugee claimants are
entitled to due process.
''The Canadian law is clear, both the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and
the jurisprudence on it is clear,'' she said. ''And that is whether people
come by boat or by plane or walk across our border at a border crossing,
they are entitled under Canadian law at this time to make their case so
that we can determine whether they are genuine refugees are not.''
That is how it should be because that is the law, says Angela Kan,
executive director of the Vancouver Chinese Cultural Centre, but the former
Immigration Department employee says the law should be changed.
''We have to follow the rule of law whether we like it or not, but there
will be and should be an outcry from Canadians, including people from the
Chinese community,'' she said. ''The law has to be tightened. The word has
spread around the world and the smugglers are taking advantage of Canadian
rules. This must become a priority, but Parliament is still in recess.''
Cheng says Canada should follow the U.S. example and keep refugee claimants
in detention until it can be determined they have a legitimate claim.
''If we did what the United States is doing, it would be a great step
forward, but our politicians always like to talk about how we are more
humane or about being more open to Third World people who claim they are
being prosecuted by their governments.
''There is nothing wrong with these people trying to find a better life.
The problem is that they are coming in under refugee status and the way
that we process them, treat them and let the world know about how we treat
these illegal aliens shows a complete lack of common sense. ''
Cheng says very few, if any, of the boat people are refugees, but rather
people looking for a better economic future - who too often end up in the
clutches of the Chinese underworld or toiling in the underground economy.
Reform's Leon Benoit, chief opposition immigration critic, agrees.
''The minister might just as well be working hand in hand with the
criminals that are smuggling these desperate people into the country. By
not acting she has said to the international people-smugglers that Canada
is their best partner in crime.''

SO, HOW CROOKED IS CANADA'S IMMIGRATION SYSTEM?
OR RATHER -- HOW HIGH DOES IT GO?
_____________________________
"'Granny Pong' stood at the entrance of the posh private room at the Happy
Valley [Hong Kong] race track, dishing out little red envelopes to
employees of the Canadian diplomatic mission in Hong Kong.
In each packet was $1,000 HK (about $200 Cdn at today's rates), so-called
lucky money for diplomats and other staff at the Canadian commission to
either bet on the horses or take home.
Now some of those who took this money from wealthy Hong Kong socialites may
not be so lucky.
The RCMP confirmed Friday that it is looking at this type of incident and
other alleged improprieties involving staff at the Canadian commission (now
consulate general) in Hong Kong during the height of the immigration wave
from the then British colony.
"We cannot get into the specifics of the investigation, but we are looking
at other improprieties in addition to the CAIPS incident," said RCMP Cpl.
Marc Richer from Ottawa.
The "CAIPS incident" -- the acronym stands for Computer-Assisted
Immigration Processing System -- was detailed in an exclusive Province
report last Thursday.
It involved claims that locally engaged staff were paid to delete from the
CAIPS immigration computer sensitive background information on criminals
and businessmen seeking to migrate to Canada and that some 2,000 blank visa
forms had disappeared from the mission.
Documents obtained by The Province show that police are also investigating
at least one incident involving the little red envelopes that occurred in
1991.
In addition, suspicions have also been raised against certain staff who
received lavish going-away gifts, including one officer who received a
Rolex watch.
Another officer is said to have been given expensive gold coins as a gift
to his parents, whom he was going to visit.
Suspicion has also been raised about an immigration officer who was on
assignment in Hong Kong but went home with $300,000 Cdn that he supposedly
won at the races.
Brian McAdam, former immigration control officer at the mission, who
alerted Ottawa to the CAIPS infiltration in 1992, said RCMP have questioned
him about the "little red packet" incident.
"I expressed trepidation -- about the invitation to the races -- to my
immediate boss, but was told the people inviting us were not asking for
visas to go to Canada," he recalled last week in Ottawa.
"When my wife and I arrived at the VIP room at the race track, Granny Pong,
the matriarch of this family, thrust little red envelopes into our hands,
as she did for every other couple," he said.
"This greatly disturbed me because I knew this was an old technique to
bribe people," said McAdam, an internationally renowned expert on triads
(the Chinese Mafia), whose reports are used by various law enforcement
agencies.
"When we returned home and opened the envelopes, there was $1,000 HK in
each of them," he said.
McAdam said he took the issue up with his superiors the next day and was
assured that such a thing would not happen again.
"But I was told I COULD NOT RETURN THE MONEY BECAUSE IT WOULD BE TAKEN AS A
GREAT OFFENCE," he said.
McAdam sent the cash to the Save the Children Fund, saying it was courtesy
of Granny Pong, and gave his boss a copy of the letter accompanying the
donation.
One of the series of RCMP investigators looking into the allegations of
improprieties at the diplomatic mission made inquiries into the incident
outlined by McAdam.
Documents show that he WAS TOLD by a senior official at the commission that
the money was COLLECTED BACK FROM ALL THOSE WHO RECEIVED IT AND RETURNED TO
GRANNY PONG.
Cpl. Robert Read of the RCMP's immigration and passport section, who took
over the Hong Kong file in September 1996, confirmed that he was
investigating the red-packet incident when he was REMOVED FROM THE CASE.
Read, who found gaping holes in earlier investigations and became
suspicious about the lack of follow-up to leads given to some
investigators, suspects that the RCMP is perpetuating a coverup of some of
the incidents that went on at the diplomatic mission.
He has filed an obstruction-of-justice complaint against some of his senior
officers.
Read refused to divulge what he found but has forwarded his files to the
federal auditor-general's department.
Cash in red packets, according to sources familiar with the custom, is an
old Chinese tradition practised during the Lunar New Year and other
auspicious occasions.
However, it is not unknown for criminals to have adapted the custom to
their own ends.
The unanswered question, according to McAdam's report on this incident
filed to an assistant deputy minister in the department of external
affairs, is: "Why would multimillionaires constantly invite all newcomers
from the Canadian mission's immigration section, as well as locally engaged
staff, to the horse races and give them thousands of dollars?"
MP wants public probe of missions mischief
Fabian Dawson, Staff Reporter The Province
Some strange things have been going on in Canada's diplomatic missions
overseas.
- In India, an office boy at the Canadian high commission in New Delhi
who was supposed to mail out Canadian visas sat on them until applicants
paid him bribes.
- In Damascus, a Syrian national skimmed close to $500,000 in visa
processing fees and tampered with the immigration computers for years.
RCMP have managed to recover about $250,000 from him this year.
- At the Canadian embassy in Conakry, Guinea, in northwest Africa, a
locally engaged employee is under investigation for allegedly taking bribes
to provide passports and visas to locals so they can come to Canada.
- In Los Angeles, three Americans from the Canadian consulate were fired
in 1997 after they were connected to theft and the illegal issuing of
visas.
- And now in Beijing, an internal report for Citizenship and Immigration
Canada is warning of organized-crime groups providing fake documents to
people interested in obtaining student visas as a back-door way to enter
this country. At least two-thirds of the more than 5,000 visa applications
processed in Beijing this year are linked to organized crime.
RCMP spokesman Cpl. Marc Richer said the Mounties investigated 38
cases of fraud and theft in about 20 Canadian diplomatic missions last
year.
"We average about one case every two weeks," he said.
The extent of corruption and abuse is giving Canada a black eye, said
Surrey Central MP Gurmant Grewal.
"We need a public inquiry into what went on in Hong Kong and a thorough
review of the security measures employed at Canadian diplomatic missions
overseas," said Grewal, who has helped the RCMP on several occasions
to thwart illegal migrants from India.
Grewal said the Reform party has been asking the immigration minister to
overhaul the system for years now.
"This is not about politics and party lines; we need to fix the system to
make it fair, but there just does not seem to be the political will to do
it,"
said Grewal.
"I wonder what they are afraid of finding out?"
The story so far
Fabian Dawson, Staff Reporter The Province
Last Thursday, in an exclusive investigative report, The Province shed
light on a seven-year probe by the RCMP into the alleged infiltration of the
immigration computer at the Canadian diplomatic mission in Hong Kong.
The alleged infiltration of the Computer Assisted Immigration Processing
System is said to be the work of some locally engaged staff with links to
triads -- the Chinese Mafia. It was initially brought to light by the then immigration
control officer, Brian McAdam, who provided a series of RCMP officers with
loads of leads.
In 1992, two investigators, one from the department of external affairs and
the other from the RCMP, flew to Hong Kong to look into the case.
Despite being told of files being deleted, finding fake immigration stamps
and discovering that locally engaged staff had given themselves
unauthorised high-level security clearance to issue visas, neither pursued
the matter, and the CASE WAS CLOSED IN 1992.
McAdam continued with his reports alleging that 788 files with sensitive
background information on criminals and businessmen had been removed
from the computer and that nearly 2,000 blank visa forms were missing.
RCMP reactivated the investigation in 1995 and worked with the
Canadian spy agency, which launched Operation Sidewinder to look at the
extent of Chinese espionage in this country. That operation was ABRUPTLY
HALTED.
After a series of RCMP officers were assigned the case and abruptly
transferred, Cpl. Robert Read of the RCMP immigration and passport
section in Ottawa was assigned the file in September 1996.
Finding gaping holes in the earlier investigations and leads not being
followed up, he recommended that a thorough investigation be done. He
was TAKEN OFF THE CASE.
Suspecting internal collusion to keep the matter hidden, Read filed an
obstruction-of-justice complaint in January 1998, alleging that his
superiors were trying to cover up the issue.
After the first report in The Province on Thursday, the RCMP confirmed
that they are investigating the penetration of the computer and other
improprieties involving staff at the diplomatic mission.
The next day, The Province tracked down a key suspect in the infiltration
of the computer to North Vancouver. This was the woman whom the first
RCMP investigator in 1992 said he could not find. Documents allege that
investigators found fake Canadian immigration stamps in her desk. She
now works as an IMMIGRATION CONSULTANT.
On Friday, the auditor-general's office in Ottawa said it is also looking at
the case to determine if Canadian tax dollars were being abused at the
diplomatic mission in Hong Kong.
The solicitor-general's office has also received a five-centimetre-thick
dossier on certain clandestine goings-on involving high-ranking officials at
the Canadian mission in Hong Kong and ALLEGED LINKS BETWEEN CERTAIN
POLITICIANS AND TRIAD LEADERS."

Canada welcomes criminals: former Hong Kong inspector
Wed Sep 1 1999
OTTAWA - A former Hong Kong police inspector says Chinese criminal gangs
are exploiting Canada's lax immigration laws to penetrate the country.
Sandy Boucher, former head of the narcotics division of the Royal Hong Kong
Police, says Canadian immigration officials frequently fail to do
background checks on known gang members. He says they also ignore
intelligence from overseas police agencies.
... Boucher says some of Hong Kong's biggest criminals can still pass the
immigration standards because although they're involved in organized crime
they don't necessarily have criminal records.
He cites the example of a well-known drug trafficker Lee Chau Ping who
produced five tons of methamphetamine a year.
Boucher discovered Lee had been given a visa to open a fried chicken outlet
in La Ronge, Saskatchewan -- a business that was never built.
Boucher says Lee was just one of many leaders of Chinese criminal gangs or
triads who were accepted to Canada because they didn't have criminal records.
"If you take the Canadian immigration laws at their simplest, if you don't
have a criminal record, you can get in," says Boucher. "And many organized
crime figures don't have a criminal record."
But Jim Fisher, head of the Asian Crime unit at Canada's Criminal
Intelligence Service says things aren't as simple as Boucher discribes. He
... admits that known triad members are still entering Canada today.
Fisher also says gangsters who come here legally often get rich by
illegally smuggling Chinese migrants to Canada's shores.
