6月初,加拿大聯邦政府提出了C-2法案,該法案提議對邊境安全進行全麵改革。

據加拿大公共安全部稱,《強勢邊境法案》將通過賦予執法部門更多工具來維護邊境安全、打擊有組織犯罪、阻止非法芬太尼流入以及打擊洗錢活動,從而幫助“保障加拿大人的安全”。

然而,加拿大各地的人權組織對C-2法案發出警告,稱其是對難民和移民的攻擊。

“這是反移民、反難民的,與邊境問題幾乎毫無關聯,”移民工人變革聯盟執行董事賽義德·胡桑 (Syed Hussan) 告訴《每日蜂巢》(Daily Hive)。

他表示,這是英國首相馬克·卡尼政府提出的首批重要法案之一,這很能說明問題。

“卡尼並非試圖將自己與(美國總統唐納德·特朗普)區別開來,而是在抄襲特朗普的伎倆,賦予自己權力,最終能夠效仿特朗普今天的所作所為。”

如果你經常在社交媒體上刷屏,你可能已經看到過美國移民和海關執法局 (ICE) 按照特朗普政府的指示,在學校、工作場所甚至法庭進行驅逐出境突擊檢查的視頻片段。

美國各地的美國人走上街頭,抗議白宮對移民的打壓。加拿大的人權組織擔心,C-2法案可能會讓加拿大重蹈南方鄰國的覆轍。

以下是《強勢邊境法案》可能對移民產生的實際影響。

C-2法案可能影響移民的變化
該法案提議對多項法律進行修訂,包括《移民和難民保護法》和《公民及移民部法案》。

人權組織尤其關注這些法律的以下擬議修改:

授權加拿大移民、難民和公民部 (IRCC) 與聯邦、省和地區合作夥伴共享客戶信息,例如身份、身份和移民文件

允許製定法規,以便“出於合作目的”在聯邦部門之間共享客戶信息

允許政府在“公共衛生或國家安全”問題下立即取消、中止或更改移民文件類別

暫停接受新申請

暫停或取消已在清單中的申請處理

2020 年 6 月 24 日之後首次抵達加拿大一年以上的人提出的庇護申請將不予處理。這將適用於學生和臨時居民,無論他們是否離開加拿大並返回。

從美國沿入境口岸之間的陸地邊界進入加拿大並在14天後提出庇護申請的人的庇護申請將不予受理。

“C-2法案是政府的大規模越權行為,將導致驅逐出境機製的鞏固和擴張,”Hussan解釋說。

他表示,“加強對移民文件的控製”的修正案將允許聯邦政府取消、更改或暫停任何及所有移民許可,例如申請和永久居留權,而無需經過正當程序或個人上訴和監督權。

在周三上午的新聞發布會上,由300個組織組成的多元化聯盟,包括移民權利網絡、加拿大樂施會和加拿大難民律師協會,表示C-2法案實際上阻止了任何在加拿大居住超過一年的人尋求難民身份,即使他們的祖國變得危險。

他們表示,這“從根本上違背了國際人道主義法”。

“無論有意還是無意,C-2法案都將逃離迫害和暴力的人們與非法芬太尼或武器流通等嚴重的公共安全問題相提並論,”加拿大法語區國際特赦組織執行主任弗朗斯-伊莎貝爾·朗格盧瓦表示。

移民工人的權利也麵臨風險。

該聯盟表示:“該法案允許各級政府不受限製地共享有關移民的信息。如果雇主向邊境執法部門舉報,那些主張勞工權利的無證工人可能會被驅逐出境。”

除了對移民的影響外,該法案還可能影響所有加拿大人,並引發有關數字隱私的擔憂。

最終,這些組織表示,這一切都是“危險地轉向特朗普式的反移民政策,並侵犯所有居民的權利和自由”。

IRCC 在一封電子郵件聲明中告訴 Daily Hive,聯邦政府正在“謹慎管理移民,以確保建立一個平衡、可持續的體係”,並引用了其 2025 年至 2027 年的計劃。

lan 降低永久居民和臨時居民的目標。

“明確一點:C-2 法案中宣布的措施是為了保護我們體係的完整性,同時建設一個更安全、更公平的加拿大,”IRCC 發言人表示。“加拿大將繼續履行保護有需要人士的承諾。”

他們補充說,擬議的改革旨在提高庇護程序的響應速度,以便快速有效地處理申請,同時繼續保護有需要人士。

加拿大正在發生大規模驅逐出境嗎?

Hussan 認為,美國正在發生的大規模驅逐出境已經在加拿大發生了。

“每天有 3000 張學習和工作許可到期。你不可能不知道今年有人會失去工作或學習許可,”他告訴 Daily Hive。

IRCC 目前積壓了 760,200 份移民申請,其中包括 324,300 份臨時居留申請和 391,000 份永久居留申請。

9 月,《環球郵報》報道稱,數萬名正在努力獲得永久居留權的國際學生今年可能被迫返回家園。
Hussan 表示,在美國,驅逐出境正在“大規模公開地”發生,這就是媒體報道的原因。而在加拿大,他表示,驅逐出境正被冠以移民“上限和可持續性”的標簽。

加拿大組織要求撤銷 C-2 法案
移民工人聯盟與加拿大 300 個組織的聯盟一起,呼籲聯邦政府撤銷《強邊界法案》。

“該法案賦予的無需進行個人評估即可取消移民身份的廣泛新權力,將迫使更多人遭受虐待、剝削甚至死亡,”移民權利網絡發言人 Karen Cocq 周三表示。

“卡尼總理當選時曾承諾要對抗特朗普,但他提出的首項法案卻像我們在邊境以南目睹的那樣,把移民和難民當作替罪羊。”

Hussan 告訴 Daily Hive,雖然現任政府可能承諾不會將該法案用於“邪惡目的”,但誰也無法保證,一旦該法案通過,未來的當局不會利用它。

C-2 法案仍需在下議院和參議院獲得通過,並獲得禦準才能實施這些修改。

與此同時,Hussan 和其他組織正在敦促加拿大人簽署請願書,阻止該法案成為法律,並聯係他們的國會議員。這些組織還向許可證即將到期的人士提供法律信息。

Daily Hive 已聯係總理辦公室和 IRCC,征求他們對這些批評的意見。我們將在收到回複後更新此報道。

Is Canada quietly launching a 'Trump-style deportation machine' with Bill C-2?

Earlier in June, the federal government in Canada introduced Bill C-2, legislation that proposes sweeping reforms on border security.

According to Public Safety Canada, the Strong Borders Act will help “keep Canadians safe” by giving law enforcement more tools to keep the border secure, combat organized crime, stop the flow of illegal fentanyl, and crack down on money laundering.

However, human rights organizations across Canada are sounding the alarm on Bill C-2, calling it an attack on refugees and migrants.

“It’s anti-immigrant, anti-refugee, and has very little to do with the border,” Syed Hussan, executive director of Migrant Workers Alliance for Change, told Daily Hive.

He says it’s telling that this is one of the first major bills Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government is introducing.

“Carney is not trying to distinguish himself from [U.S. President Donald Trump], but rather really copying the Trump playbook, giving himself the powers to then eventually be able to do what Trump is doing today.”

If you’re endlessly doom-scrolling on social media, you may have seen clips of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) conducting deportation raids at schools, workplaces, and even courtrooms as instructed by the Trump administration.

Americans across the U.S. have taken to the streets to protest the White House’s crackdown on immigration. Human rights organizations in Canada fear that Bill C-2 could lead the country down the same path as our neighbours to the south.

Here’s how the Strong Borders Act could actually impact immigrants.

Bill C-2 changes that could affect immigrants

The legislation proposes amendments to several laws, including the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and the Department of Citizenship and Immigration Act.

Human rights organizations are particularly concerned about the following proposed changes to these laws:

  • Giving Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) the authorization to share client information like identity, status, and immigration documentation with federal, provincial, and territorial partners
  • Allow the development of regulations to share client information across federal departments “for the purpose of cooperation”
  • Allow the government to cancel, suspend, or change groups of immigration documents immediately under matters of “public health or national security”
  • Pause acceptance of new applications
  • Pause or cancel the processing of applications already in the inventory
  • Asylum claims made by people more than one year after first arriving in Canada after June 24, 2020, won’t be processed. This would apply to students and temporary residents, regardless of whether they left the country and returned
  • Asylum claims from people who enter Canada from the U.S. along the land border between ports of entry and make a claim after 14 days won’t be processed

“Bill C-2 is a massive governmental overreach that will result in solidifying and expanding a deportation machine,” explained Hussan.

 

e says the amendments to “strengthen control over immigration documents” will allow the federal government to cancel, change, or suspend any and all immigration permits, like applications and permanent residency, without due process or the right of individual appeal and oversight.

In a press conference on Wednesday morning, a diverse coalition of 300 organizations, including the Migrant Rights Network, Oxfam Canada, and the Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers, stated that Bill C-2 essentially blocks anyone who has been in Canada more than one year from seeking refugee status, even if their home country becomes dangerous.

They say that this is “fundamentally inconsistent with international humanitarian law.”

“Intentionally or not, Bill C-2 paints people escaping persecution and violence with the same brush as serious public safety concerns such as the flow of illegal fentanyl or weapons,” stated France-Isabelle Langlois, executive director of Amnesty International Canada francophone.

Migrant workers’ rights are also at risk.

“The bill allows unrestricted information sharing about migrants across all government levels,” stated the coalition. “Undocumented workers asserting labour rights could face deportation when employers report them to border enforcement.”

In addition to its implications for immigrants, the legislation could impact all Canadians, with concerns also surrounding digital privacy.

Ultimately, the organizations say this is all a “dangerous shift toward Trump-style anti-immigration polices and attacks on rights and freedoms of all residents.”

The IRCC told Daily Hive in an email statement that the federal government is managing “immigration deliberately to ensure a balanced, sustainable system,” citing its 2025 to 2027 plan to reduce both permanent and temporary resident targets.

“To make things clear: The measures announced in Bill C-2, are about protecting the integrity of our system while building a safer and more equitable Canada,” said an IRCC spokesperson. “Canada’s commitment to protecting those in need will continue to be upheld.”

They added that the proposed changes aim to make the asylum process more responsive, so that claims are processed quickly and effectively, while continuing to protect those in need.

Are mass deportations happening in Canada?

Hussan argues that the mass deportations that are visibly happening in the U.S. are already occurring in Canada.

“Three thousand study and work permits are expiring daily. There’s no way you don’t know someone who’s not going to lose their work or study permit this year,” he told Daily Hive.

The IRCC currently has 760,200 immigration applications in backlog, including 324,300 temporary residence and 391,000 permanent residence applications.

Hussan says deportations are happening in a “massive public way” in the U.S., which is why it’s getting media coverage. Whereas in Canada, he says deportations are being framed as immigration “caps and sustainability.”

The Migrant Workers Alliance, along with the coalition of 300 organizations in Canada, are calling on the federal government to withdraw the Strong Borders Act.

“This bill’s sweeping new powers to cancel immigration status without individual evaluation will force more people into conditions of abuse, exploitation, and even death,” stated Karen Cocq, spokesperson for the Migrant Rights Network, on Wednesday.

“Prime Minister Carney was elected on a promise of standing up to Trump, but his very first bill is the same scapegoating of migrants and refugees that we’ve witnessed south of the border.”

Hussan told Daily Hive that while the current government may promise not to use the legislation for “nefarious purposes,” there’s no guarantee that future authorities won’t use it once the law is passed.

Bill C-2 still needs to pass both the House of Commons and the Senate and receive Royal Assent before these changes can be implemented.

In the meantime, Hussan and other organizations are urging Canadians to sign a petition to prevent the legislation from becoming law and to contact their Member of Parliament. The organizations are also providing legal information to people whose permits are expiring.

Daily Hive has contacted the Prime Minister’s Office and the IRCC for comment on these criticisms. We will update this story when we receive a response.
