OLDCORN: Ottawa should fund deportations, not health benefits for rejected asylum claimants

Ottawa has a strange idea of fairness.

Federal figures reported by Blacklock’s Reporter show taxpayers spent more than $43 million last year on healthcare benefits for rejected asylum claimants and illegal immigrants. That included basic healthcare, prescriptions, counselling, physiotherapy, vision care, transportation to appointments, and translation supports.

That is not a rounding error. It is a policy choice.
