In my opinion, true refugees with good reason shouldn't be turned away.
Those who are just crossing illegally because their green cards in the US ran out shouldn't be allowed
If anyone blames the Liberals for being too soft, you can always look back at 2010 when that ship load of Tamil migrants came in. The Conservatives never sent them back either.

its difficult. genuine refugees should be accepted... but hard to maybe weed out those who are just cheating the system and coming over. i have a lot of british family who have struggled over the years to finally come to canada and be citizens etc etc, its frustrating to see people just jump the ditch and get handed housing and welfare...

It's simple, enter illegally = get deported. I'm sick and tired of people breaking our laws and getting a slap on the wrist while others have to wait for years to get a chance to become a citizen.
JT and the Liberals better get their act together because the sentiment against immigrants and open borders has changed ever since Trump got in office. People are fed up with the gov't and hot button issues like immigration further fuel their anger.

The Tamils were actually somewhat legit refugees, and despite that they were still detained unlike most refugees.

The article says that these people have Temporary Protected Status in the US that's expiring. You don't get TPS unless you're a refugee of some sort.
From US Immigration site:
"What is TPS
The Secretary of Homeland Security may designate a foreign country for TPS due to conditions in the country that temporarily prevent the country's nationals from returning safely, or in certain circumstances, where the country is unable to handle the return of its nationals adequately. USCIS may grant TPS to eligible nationals of certain countries (or parts of countries), who are already in the United States. Eligible individuals without nationality who last resided in the designated country may also be granted TPS.
The Secretary may designate a country for TPS due to the following temporary conditions in the country:
Ongoing armed conflict (such as civil war)
An environmental disaster (such as earthquake or hurricane), or an epidemic
Other extraordinary and temporary conditions"

Haitians are good hard working people though, really doing well in their own country after that earthquake 10 years ago.
