Haiti - Diaspora : Haitian-Canadian Deputy Emmanue Dubourg on the front line...
Wednesday, as part of the Canadian government's efforts to reduce the flow of Haitians illegally crossing the Canadian border to seek asylum, the Liberal Deputy of Parliament, of Haitian origin Emmanuel Dubourg (Bourassa riding) left the Canada for 3 days to Miami.

Fluent in Creole, French and English, with strong ties to the Haitian diaspora, he was sent to Miami to gives interview with the Haitian media and hold meetings with diaspora leaders to rectify the information erroneous concerning Canada's immigration and refugee policies and attempting to slow down the flow of Haitian nationals to Canada.

He will visit among others to Little Haiti, the Haitian community of more than 200,000 members "I want to understand the reasons why all these people leave and inform them about the way immigration is happening in Canada and correct the false information that circulates on social networks [...] People need to understand the risks they face when they come to Canada through irregular routes [...] hose who want to come to Canada must know that there are immigration programs [...]"

Adding "it is important to tell them, before they sell their property, before they make a decision [...] They must be fully aware of what can happen."

Lets' recall that Haitians applying for asylum must convince the immigration authorities of the merits of their claim with supporting evidence, that they are subject to persecution, otherwise they risk expulsion (on average, Canada last years accepted only 40 to 50% of asylum applications...)
