This cannot happen soon enough. Canadians are dieing in vast numbers on our highways from these folks unable to drive in our systems. Cars are stolen in large numbers, extortion is rampant, home invasion is at an all time high. These folks obviously are not responsible for all of it but they play a big part in the problem. The obvious protesters that are interfering with everyday life and the obvious hatred towards certain groups needs to be dealt with. Send them home since they do not appreciate being canadian.
Lists multiple crime and safety concerns (highway deaths, car theft, extortion, home invasion) attributed to immigrants.
