This is what lazy European far right parties always do : blame a national problem on undocumented migrants. This is just cruelty for the sake of it. If you want them out of here, you do that. What's the point of preventing them from getting health care. Like a virus will know not to go from an undocumented immigrant to a regular Canadian citizen. It is a dumb policy and it tells me the Conservatives are uncapable of generating original ideas. Definitely not ready for government.
Directly criticizes Conservative policy on undocumented migrants' healthcare access as illogical and cruel, with moral condemnation of the approach.
