SUMMARY:
This article was published by the Vancouver Sun, the topic for this article is the Lawyers For Tamils Migrants Are Running Out Of Funds In early September a ship full of Tamil migrants reached Vancouver shorelines. There were about 490 migrants on this ship.These migrants have been staying in correctional facilities. The government have has sent aside 1.5 million for immigration cases this year, but they got 490 more immigrants than expected. The lawyers have to represent the federal courts as well as the Tamil migrants. The society is in discussions with the federal Department of Justice for additional funding.
Another option is to appeal to the Federal Court to issue an order that additional public funds are given.The government is also blocking some of the released migrants.
CONNECTION
The main idea of this article is related to scarcity. scarcity is a limited resource, the money the government has sent aside for immigration was 1.5 million and in this past month had 490 migrants. The money is becoming scarce. the 1.5 million covers about 700-800 new migrants. The money is spent on the lawyers, court cases, and food and shelter for the migrants. 75 migrants had also arrived in Vancouver last year and had but the immigration budget in trouble. The government is predicting that is a year or two another Tamil ship will arrive at Vancouver putting again the immigration budget is trouble.
REFLECTION
I already knew about the Tamil ship that had arrived in Vancouver, but I did not know about the financial problems. The Tamil migrants have made the money for immigration scarce. This problem is kind of predicable, because 490 people are going to have a lot of cost, for example, their health, food, and shelter.I think the Tamil's should get every chance to succeed. My ancestors are not from Canada they are from India. They boarded a ship for Canada but back then the Canadians didn't let them in so they were sent back to India. Even though the money is scare i think it will be a good investment, because the migrants will work and pay taxes which will even out the cost we are spending now.
