Face it, some migrants are totally abusing our immigration system

What happens when you invite the migrants of the world, as former prime minister Justin Trudeau did, to flood into Canada? You end up with an avalanche of false refugee claims, bad actors gaming the system to stall deportations, and Ottawa spending nearly $1 billion a year to provide gold-plated health plans for tens of thousands of people who shouldn’t even be here. Immigration lawyer and policy specialist Richard Kurland details for Brian the unmistakable abuse that some people are using to stay in Canada, despite not being eligible to settle here. And he explains how Trudeau’s wholesale wreckage of our once excellent screening, hearing and deportation system has made it easier than ever for them to keep doing it.

In this episode we take a closer look at Vito Rizzuto, the man who ran the Montreal mafia for decades.

Gangs of Montreal: Taking down the Rizzutos

The morning of Nov. 22, 2006 was cold and overcast. Cars were pulling up to the back entrance of the Montreal headquarters of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Westmount, just west of downtown. Inside the cars were some of the most powerful men in Montreal's underworld. Out came Nicolo Rizzuto Sr., the man who had seized control of the Montreal Mafia in the late 1970s. Wearing his trademark fedora hat and a long coat, his wrists were bound with plastic tie wraps instead of handcuffs. Rizzuto had kept a low profile in Montreal, but that all ended with his arrest. Police had collected almost 2 million wiretapped conversations of Rizzuto and the other leaders of the Mafia, making decisions about crimes like extortion, illegal gambling, drug smuggling and sports betting. Their investigation blew open the secrecy surrounding the Montreal Mafia and laid bare its extensive criminal organization. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
