I believe that most of this would end and we could go back to a much more reasonable basis for operating. Mr. Speaker. in the last 2 years alone there has been a 300percent increase in the number of people coming in through this political asylum claim with fraudulent documents. or a lack of documents. at our airports. a 300percent increase. It could only be because the people out there in the other world know that this is a way to beat the system. and I would submit to my colleagues that there may be many of those who come in who are not so innocent. who may be terrorists or potential terrorists. The threat to our security. as well as the threat to our orderly immigration system. is at risk. Mr. Speaker.
