Canada declares Mexico 'safe' country

Last week, Citizenship and Immigration Canada pronounced Mexico to be "safe".    In immigration terms, that means the Canadian government does not believe Mexico is a source of genuine refugees. It also means that refugee applicants from Mexico will lose certain avenues of appeal, if their claims are rejected.For those familiar with Mexico's epidemic of crime and violence, the declaration is hard to comprehend.    Jorge Gonzalez de Leon is with Mexico's Peace with Justice and Dignity Movement.
