Conservatives Leader Pierre Poilievre who is expected to be the new Prime Minister of Canada through an upcoming election has announced that he will deport thousands of illegal immigrants.
Pierre Poilievre says that there are at least 30,000 illegal immigrants who have already been issued with deportation letters by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) but continue to stay in the country illegally.
“There are between 20,000 and 500,000 people in Canada illegally. Then we know that there are 30,000 people who have been ordered deported but have not left. We know this for sure,” he said.
“We will track down the 30,000 people who have been ordered deported and I will have them deported from this country. They’ve been ordered deported; and these are people who are not eligible to be here. We will find them and we will deport them,” he said.
He added that he will also focus on correcting the asylum system, which he said has been heavily backlogged with mostly false refugee claims.
“We will have a rapid approach to treating these new and mostly false refugee claims. For example, I think we should signal that there will be what I call a last in, first out,” he said.

This, according to Poilievre, will let people making false claims to try and stay that their cases will not be accepted. “For example, we have international students, they are not bad people but they are also not real refugees. They want to stay by abusing the refugee system and we have to treat their cases immediately so that they know it’s not worth it.”
Pierre Poilievre has also vowed to radically change the Canadian immigration system to suit what he terms as Canada-first agenda.
“We have to secure the borders so that there are no people coming illegally and then staying the fourteen days necessary in order to be eligible for a refugee application that can take years. We have to stop them from coming in,” he said.
