Garneau says the illegal migrant situation is "extraordinarily well managed."  He's correct, if extraordinarily well managed means the efficient provision of welfare, housing and medical care to anyone who enters Canada illegally from the US.  He's also correct if extraordinarily well managed means processsing their residence claims with so many delays, appeals, and court challenges that the vast majority will never be ordered to leave.  And he's right if extraordinarily well managed means most of the few who are actually ordered to leave will just defy the order and stay.

This begs the question: why does Canada pretend to have a border or immigration laws?   We don't secure the former or enforce the latter, but we spend a lot of money pretending that we do.   Why not just accept the position of our political and judicial elites that every single person on the planet has the right to live in Canada?  Sure it would wreck the country faster than Trudeau will, but it would be honest.
