Dear Subscriber/Associate of C-FAR:
We're entering a new decade and I'm strangely optimistic. On the immigration front, I see things slowly changing. While the situation is desperate and, indeed, worse than the deceptive government would let Canadians know, there are glimmers of change in the direction of getting better control of our borders.
I'd like to think our years of publishing and lobbying, with YOUR support, has made a difference and contributed to this change.
Time to Subscribe/Time to Renew
We don’t pester you with repeated subscription reminder to the Canadian Immigration Hotline. Each year in January, we ask you to subscribe or renew your subscription to the Canadian Immigration Hotline ($30). We also invite you to join us as a supporting associate – fee $60.00.
Exposing Government Lies on Immigration
Your annual subscription of $30 barely covers the cost of printing and mailing your monthly newsletter. However, since 1997, we have managed to retain the services of a talented, inquisitive and woefully underpaid researcher. We’ve exposed the fact that much of what the Canadian public has been fed on immigration is just plain false. For instance, we’re told that the average immigration intake – 85% of it from the Third World – is about 250,000.
Wrong!
In 2008, we actually accepted 247, 243 “permanent residents” or immigrants, BUT we also brought in 363,494 “temporary workers”, many of whom will get to stay under provincial programmes. Yes, that was at a time when Canada was sinking deep into recession and more than 1.23-million Canadians were out of work. Now, that adds up to 610,737 immigrants for 2008 alone. That’s over 60% of the population of Saskatchewan and an intake larger than the city of Hamilton in just one year! BUT even that’s not the whole story. We also took in tens of thousands of foreign students, many of whom will be fast tracked as immigrants when they finish their studies.
Bottom line – we’re being invaded and the makeup of our country changed!
The Message if Getting Out There – Slowly
At C-FAR, we’ve been persistent – publishing, lobbying, holding meetings across the country, occasionally even staging demonstrations against the invasion. Slowly, the message is getting out there. Years ago, we inaugurated a feature in the Hotline called “Health Watch”. We even used the slogan poorly screened “Immigration Can Kill You.” There were calls for our prosecution and dark mumblings of “hate.” We stayed the course, month after month publishing documented research. And now, however quietly it’s being recognized that, well, by negligence and policy we’re importing a rather unhealthy and costly lot! The January Hotline, now in your hands, reveals in “Slow Acting Poison” “that about 16 per cent of all new [AIDS] infections in Canada are linked to people from countries where HIV is prevalent, yet they make up only 1.5 per cent of the Canadian population.”
It’s now quietly admitted that the immigration intake since 1980 – overwhelmingly from the Third World – just hasn’t done very well, unlike the immigrants from the late 40s, 50s, and 60s – overwhelmingly European. Just one example, the 1990 immigrant cohort, after 10 years in the country, in 2000 paid just 21.3% of the tax paid by the average Canadians. Thus, they are either accomplished cheaters or just not doing very well.
Glimmers of Hope
After years of mostly Liberal shameless catering to “diverse” cultures, the government recently brought out a book on citizenship that prospective citizens must study. For once, it promotes Canadianism, celebrating our past, our wartime valour and reminding newcomers that certain practices like family “honour killings” and female genital mutilation are just, well, not acceptable here.
On December 23, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney issued a Merry Christmas press release: “The Honourable Jason Kenney, Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism, issued the following statement on Christmas: "I am pleased to extend my very best wishes to you and yours as the celebration of Christmas approaches."Christmas is a time of profound importance for Christians in Canada and around the world, a time of goodwill and family togetherness marked by the spirit of giving, sharing, and helping others in need. …” Indeed, in the 6 paragraph statement, the dreaded “c” word was used five times. So many public figures would rather blather on about “seasons” and “holidays” and would sooner spout obscenities than gag out the dreaded name of the feast celebrated by the vast majority of Canadians.
The Challenge Ahead
We’ve had some success and we see a growing understanding that the present immigration policies are a disaster. In the year ahead, we must:
· Vastly improve and upgrade our website which is our public face;
· Continue and increase our meetings and lobbying across Canada
· Continue our successful outreach to younger people [and, of course]
· Continue the research and publishing of the Canadian Immigration Hotline.
We Need $210,000 for 2010
I’m asking for your special donation to help us continue and expand our work to seek real immigration reform and to protect Canada as a European country. I’m asking for your special donation. You may wish to send us a series of postdated cheques, say for $21 a month, or authorize us to bill your VISA monthly.
Finally, an awkward note. No one likes to talk about wills, but it’s prudent for everyone to have a will to settle their affairs as they would wish. After providing for bills and funeral expenses, most people will want to provide for family members in their wills. However, beyond that, you may wish to support the causes and beliefs you supported in life that the good work you backed may continue. Citizens for Foreign Aid Reform Inc. is a non-profit educational organization. We’ve in existence since 1979 with a board of directors. Actually, our monthly “Alternative Forum” meeting in Toronto celebrates its 31st birthday this month. We’ve proven we have the dedication and staying power. You may wish to remember us, as some others have, in your will or as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy.
I thank you in advance for your support. The work we have accomplished would not have been possible without the support of people like you. To meet the challenges to continue to press for real immigration reform, we need that support more than ever.
Sincerely yours,
Paul Fromm
Director
