Are you saying immigrants aren't "real Canadians" and so cannot be immigration or other ministers?

Are you saying minister Hussen being from Somalia and only coming to Canada 24 years ago at 16 cannot be objective as a minister in determining immigration and refugee policies (NB: ministers decide policies not individual applications and cases) for Canada because he has an unprofessional bias toward Somalians?

Minister Hussen has spent most of his life in Canada and has contributed significantly to his adopted country. We are lucky to have him and he is as Canadian as you and me and any others who have become Canadian citizens either by accident (e.g. a product of overheated teenagers in the back seat of daddy's car) or choice and hard work (as in Mr. Hussen's case).

Your suggestion that he has a conflict of interest and cannot be objective on immigration policy issues because he is an immigrant is insulting and unwarranted.

BTW - Sir John A. was an immigrant but he managed OK.
