Canada’s border agency said Wednesday that it planned to increase its deportations of undocumented migrants by 10,000 a year.
加拿大邊境管理局週三表示，計劃每年將驅逐無證移民的人數增加10,000人。
These are to include not just failed refugees and asylum-seekers but those authorities regard as national security threats.
這不僅包括未獲得批准的的難民和尋求庇護者，還包括那些當局視為威脅到國家安全的人。
“While Canada is a humanitarian country that has welcomed many immigrants and asylum-seekers over the years, those coming to our country are expected to abide by our laws and processes,” a border agency spokesperson told the state-run Canadian Broadcasting Corp.
邊境管理局發言人對官方的加拿大廣播公司表示，“儘管加拿大是一個人道主義國家，多年來一直歡迎許多移民和尋求庇護者，但來到我們國家的人們應該遵守我們的法律和程序。”
There is a backlog of about 18,000 migrants listed for deportation, with 5,300 so-called actionable cases, meaning there are no legal appeals or other reasons for them to stay.
目前加拿大有大約18,000名移民應被驅逐出境，有5,300個所謂的可執行案件，這意味著他們沒有合法上訴權或其他原因可以留下來的。
Opposition conservatives call the number of asylum-seekers entering Canada through unmanned U.S. border crossings a crisis. They say the government does not take the matter seriously and has no plan.
反對派保守派稱，從無人看守的美國過境點進入加拿大尋求庇護者的人數是一個危機。他們說政府沒有認真對待此事，也沒有相應計劃。
Liberals call the border situation a challenge.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Wednesday that “we are in the process of looking at how we can improve the immigration system to see how can we move rapidly. ... It is a priority for us to have an immigration system that works, and that is always what we are going to try to do.”
加拿大總理特魯多週三表示，“我們正在研究如何改善移民制度，看看我們如何迅速行動。 ......我們優先考慮建立一個有效的移民系統，而這一直是我們要做的事情。”
