What's news there? No doubt hundreds of Asians and Latinos suffer the same fate annually but these were Portugese. A bit more like us

Anyways these lawbreakers got the full sympathy treatment about how they were finagled out of money by evil consultants suggesting they apply on refugee grounds

Hello! This is Portugese coming to Canada not vice versa. Unless their slow boat from Lisbon left before fascist Salazar died in 1970, Portugal's temperate climate, the land of sardines and sweet wine, is a go-to place

Our immigration ministry might help with a 'No Portugese' notice but I suspect 90% of their cases and hence trheir employment are built round no-hope cases

As a sidenote, I remember visiting post-war England and seeing signs in guest houses for 'No Blacks'. Rumour has it that the three year old Conrad Black saw the same on a trip to London. Even at that age he was amazingly self absorbed and did not realise it referred to our coloured brethren. This fuelled a srong desire to be accepted by the Brits, and a hang-the-consequences business ethic culminating in both a peerage and criminal charges.

Expect him to produce the race card at his forthcoming trial
