in response to reader comment: Ramadan Case Exposes Canadian Ineptness In Immigration Enforcement

I gather that it is the Canadian taxpayer which is funding Ramadan's legal fees. How foolish are we all! the same happens in Australia. One illegal Muslim migrant who sewed his lips together in protest at being put in a detention camp (which by the way, although not luxurious, are better than many ordinary Australians live in). Through our legal system, paid for for the taxpayer, he was awarded $800,000 for his trouble (i.e. sewing his lips together.)

Once again, ordinary Australians cannot get legal aid, except under very stringent circumstances, But the coffers runneth over for people of the calibre of Ramadan.
