An Indian man whose wife is an accepted refugee in Canada is facing deportation with the couple’s five-year-old son in what lawyers say is a troubling new practice of separating the families of people with protected status.
Ravi Chauhan and his young son are set to be deported Monday, leaving his wife, who is the child’s mother, behind in Canada without the possibility of seeing her family for what could be years while they await permanent residency.
Lawyers and advocates say Chauhan’s case reflects a broader change in which border officials are increasingly deporting the spouses and children of protected persons who were previously allowed to remain while applications were processed.
Once we build the homes to put these people we can start being compassionate, unless you’re volunteering your own home?
Or is your house already at capacity with homeless people?
Why accept one refugee claim and turn away the rest of the family then? Does it make sense to seperate a child from his mother? They should have just rejected the whole family according to your logic.
Ya fair enough, I just assumed there was some reasonable circumstances explaining it.
How about we fill up the empty houses first? You know, the ones built to fill the pockets of investors and now just sitting there because no one can afford them… Or sitting empty because rich people own multiple homes just for kicks. Can we limit the amount of houses they get to have?
Ya agreed, do that First.
I live in a rooming house. Otherwise I would be having people stay with me (which I’ve done before when I was renting a house).
