...the ship didn’t materialize out of the goodness of someone’s heart. It was paid for, and whoever forked over the money clearly expects a hefty return. Happily admitting the exploited folks on board would clearly seem to be encouraging that trade.

Now for an opposing viewpoint
The Canadian Tamil Congress believes the poll results are a reflection of feelings towards the immigration system, not Tamils themselves.

“I think there is a growing frustration,” said spokesperson Manjula Selvarajah.
Nah, Manjula... this is about people being pissed at this boatload of queue-jumpers taking advantage of our good nature.

You'll just have to trust me on this one.

LAST WORD: Let's ask an actual Tamil...
