Yeah, dealing with the human trafficking problem is Canada's biggest failure as a nation. |

Why is this Canada's failure? It is up to America to protect it's own borders. Canadian tax-payers should not be paying for American border controls. |

So it's OK with you if Canada is used as a staging point for human trafficking?
Somehow I thought Canadians' committment to human rights went further than 'What you do with those women after you smuggle them to other countries is your business'. Silly me. |

How is it wrong to smuggle randomly evolved clusters of cells? They're little more than apes, after all. |

I'm pretty sure it's against the law to smuggle any Apes, humans included. I kinda thought the word smuggle..implied illegality.

Don't worry, Junior. You don't yet qualify as evolved. |

I remember when I was reading a thread on here a few weeks ago where Canadians were really angry about all the Mexicans who were making their way into Canada illegally and this was somehow America's fault. It's really interesting how Canadians always blame the USA for everything, yet when they are directly responsible for something remotely similar, "it's not our problem, it's your problem."
Case in point:

Hypocrite. |

I don't see how you can call me personally a hypocrite. I never made any mention of the issue you are talking about.
However, if Canada is indeed blaming America for illegal immigrants from Mexico coming into Canada via the United States, then they are wrong to do so. So don't call me a hypocrite for something I have never said.
Back to the topic, however:
America is responsible for it's own border policing. As is Canada.
If America does not want those Koreans to enter illegally, they should take the measures needed to prevent it.
And if Canada does not want those Mexicans to enter illegally, same applies.
Canadian tax-payers are not responsible for enforcing American laws. And vice-versa. |

That is nonsense. We have a longstanding and very, very important relationship with the United States. We have a responsibility to ensure that Canada is not a staging ground for illegal immigration and they have the same responsibility to us. Both countries will have success and failures but both have to try. Canada must not encourage the mouth breathers in the Republican party to start crying about the northern invasion. |

Yeah. It is just a rude way to describe a certain element that every country has. My mother drunk or sober, my country right or wrong. Those types. |

It's ridiculous to suggest that Canada must pre-enforce other countries' laws.
Again, Canada is not responsible for enforcing American law, especially if no law has even been broken.
Those Koreans are not "illegal" until the moment they set foot on American soil. By then, they are no longer under the jurisdiction of Canada.
If you do not want someone to enter your country, stop them from doing so. Don't rely on your neighbours to subsidize the policies you yourselves put into place. |

Does anyone have any information about investing money in human smuggling rings? Since defrauding women, holding their passports, and making false promises of jobs in foreign countries is not illegal in Canada, I think it would make a good investment opportunity. |

Don't be absurd. What do you want Canada to do?
Do a full cavity check of every Asian-looking person in Canada to see whether or not they are illegal Koreans planning on sneaking into America?
What would you suggest Canada do that it is not already doing?
Again, America must protect it's own border. Your border, your responsibility. our border, our responsibility. |
