With his immigration bill, Canada’s prime minister is bowing to Trump

Summary
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has proposed the Strong Borders Act (Bill C-2), which introduces harsh restrictions on refugee claims and broad powers for mass deportations. The bill would bar refugee hearings for individuals who have been in Canada for over a year, including retroactive cases since June 2020, and require asylum seekers entering unofficially to apply within 14 days. It also gives the immigration minister the power to revoke immigration documents en masse.

While the government claims the bill is meant to fight organized crime and drug trafficking, officials have admitted it responds to pressure from the U.S. and Donald Trump’s concerns about border security and fentanyl.

The bill has drawn widespread condemnation from rights groups like Amnesty International, politicians, and civil liberties advocates, who argue it violates basic rights and mirrors U.S.-style xenophobic policies. Critics warn that instead of standing up to Trumpism, Canada is aligning itself with anti-immigrant rhetoric spreading across Western democracies.
