Helping Refugees in Canada
My parents work with the government, and take women refugees from Africa who are in horrible circumstances into their home, help them get citizenship, an education, counselling, and set up as Canadians. I'm really proud of them. They help one person at a time and make a huge difference in their lives.
Anywhoo....This girl claims to 17 and has been living with them for almost a year. Quiet, reserved, kind and extremely intelligent. But things havent really added up. She seems older, like my age (I'm 23) and has no documentation. Her story has always been really vague, sometimes she lies, does weird things etc. My folks just chalked it up to the stress she must be under. But lately she's been really secretive. Turning off the comp when people walk by, phone calls from men all over the world...the same guy will call from Toronto one day, Italy the next. Today she thought the house was empty and my moms heard her telling some guy on the phone something like this: "....remember, I told them you were Anton's cousin, say it...Anton's cousin. Now don't call me here anymore, they're getting suspicious...I'll contact you from the outside..." There's other stuff I don't feel like typing, but long story short, I think my parents are harboring a terrorist, or at she's at least not who she represents herself to be. I worry that she's living in their house with them. I told my mom to call the police, but she wants to talk to the social services worker and let him deal with it. Scary stuff. Most importantly, if this ends poorly, I don't think my parents will be willing to open up their home again. They're getting older, and really just wanted to do something kind. This woman has ruined it for alot of people who could have legitimately used the help. Last edited by wundergirl; Nov 05, 04 at 12:58 AM. |

I'm not saying there shouldn't be any imigration, if theres war in there countries its understandble but if there is something that can be helpfull for there countries its preferable for everyone that we develop there local economy(Giving Cloths, Founding schools, Offering Food..etc) Believe me I moved many many times in countries around the world, and often went in families I never met in my life before, there can be sometimes a good vibe, but sometimes it can make everyone unconfterble.. And its realy not stable for that person... But there is also people that abuse of peoples honesty, even if in there countries its hard, those people should concider them selfs lucky just the fact that someone nice offered nicely somewhere to go... Anyway I just hopeit will work for everyone of ya! |

Wum:I think its impossible to avoid imigration, every country has it!!!
Its not by staying complaning on it, that you will help the country and the people that live in it, imigrants has as much good resources as you (I do admit tho, that theres people that are mad unrespectfull)... But once again it is not fare to be generalizing imigrants on this.. There is stupid people everywhere, we can't not stop it, its a spining wheel that either you go with it, or you get crushed by it, I know its the strict and hard reality, but its like that and we all have to do with it...:BOB: Last edited by maztraz; Dec 07, 04 at 04:59 PM. |
