Mexicans resentful of Canada�s sudden invocation of visas

Canadian tourist beware of the resentful Mexican population.if not by violence then by ripping us off,extra security inspections ..stc stc

Gee. Ya think they might be a little pissed??? The ones who were interviewed on the news the other night just made it in 'under the wire'...used all the money they had to get here, applied for refugee status, (could take a couple of years just to review their app), and then they were shown 'heading off to the welfare office to apply for assistance in the meantime'!

Could it possibly be that 'the feds' are finally 'going to grow some' and close the gate to easy street???

Tough shit really.
We are a soveriegn nation and WE decide who comes in to Canada, not Mexico.

Bring it on. Playa De Carmen and Cancun would feel the heat.

You are correct.

And I agree with the change in rules, but a window should have been left open (say all visitors after August 1st or something) so that imminent visitors to Canada don't get hamstrung by it.

It's especially hypocritical of us after the years of stink we made over US changes to immigration (needing a passport or special Id instead of a driver's license and birth certificate).

This was a case of using a sledgehammer when a regular hammer would have worked just as well.

This was a stupid move by our government. Simply denying all future refugee claims from Mexico (and the Czech Republic) would have solved the same problem without risking any retaliation or bad feelings at all.

our IT guy( yes, he works instead of sucking our welfare system dry) went back to mexico for his brother's wedding, and now he's stuck in Las Vegas trying to get a VISA.
