‘Sanctuary city’: Council takes steps to help undocumented workers feel more comfortable accessing city services
A bid to ensure undocumented workers can access city services without fear of repercussions set off a passionate debate at city council
Toronto has become the first Canadian city with a formal policy allowing undocumented migrants to access services regardless of immigration status.
...the three councillors who voted NAY are to be commended for looking after the rights of those that followed the law;
However, councillor Minnan-Wong, a vocal critic of the motion, said undocumented people are illegal in Canada and do not deserve government services.
“We shouldn’t encourage them. We shouldn’t help them. We should not facilitate them. They are an insult to every immigrant who plays by the rule to get into the country. They are an insult to every immigrant who is waiting to enter this country legally,” said Minnan-Wong.
“It sends a message to the world that it is okay to break the law to come to Canada and it says that the City of Toronto is an accomplice to this lawbreaking.”
