THAT MOST of our churches have gone dotty and now
concern themselves with everything but religion is no
secret. They are against real justice for criminals, for in-
stance, believing that a kind word to a killer can cure. They
are experts on defence, and know that the West can go nak-
ed into the communist conference chamber.

They are pro-pansy and believe
that God the Father is dead and
now wears skirts. They may never
have been to South Africa, but
have faith that they could ‘settle

| that country’s racial woes in a jif-
fy. In short, they are the NDP at
| prayer, only more so.

Their greatest idiocy of all,
though, is seen on the immigra-
tion front. Witite Anglo-Saxon

} Protestant though many of them
in these parts may be, they yearn
for more Sikhs, more Asiatics,
more blacks and more browns.
Every Sunday, and probably
several times during the week,
they ask the Lord to speed the
flood.

St. David’s United Church in
West Vancouver and Hew
Gwynne of its refugee committee
are no exceptions to that rule. On-
ly a few days ago we read in this

f newspaper that St. David’s, aided
f and abetted by the West Van-
couver United Church, are mov-
ing heaven and earth, as it were,
to. bring in another bunch of
‘refugees’: from South East Asia.

St: David’s has already done
sterling work in the refugee field,
having sponsored 16 people in the
recent past. This time it wants to
bring in another seven, all related
to a 24-year-old Laotian whom

f the church sponsored in 1983.

THE FOLLOWING is a list of re-
cent crimes on the North Shore.

jrems $250.

There are four brothers, a
sister, a sister-in-law, and a two-
year-old niece, all in Thailand.
The parents and other members of
the brood are still in Laos, but we
may be sure that our man Hew
will be working on their behalf
too, he being big on ‘‘family
reunification’’, (It does not seem
to occur to him that if family
reunification is that important,
the one who is here could go back
and join the many that are there.
But we’ll let that pass.)

Alas, there are obstacles. A UN
commission says that others in
Thailand have priority in getting
to the Great Canadian Bonanza.
But we need not concern ourselves
with that, except to note that in
order to help his particular pet,
Mr. Gwynne is seeking the
assistance of Gerry Weiner, the
minister of state for immigration.

Weiner is the right man to see.
A few weeks ago he overruled im-
wigration department officials
and the vetoes of three previous
immigration ministers to allow a
crook with 20 criminal convic-
tions to remain in Canada. On
thar occasion it was Jewish
organizations in Montreal that
wanted a favor done.

You may say that a few more
Laotian refugees make no dif-
ference, that we are being
swamped anyway and might as

disagree. We should not give up
without 4 struggle.

What is a refugee? In a previous
paragraph | put the word in|
quotation marks because under
our rules here in Wimpland, a
refugee is anyone who says he’s a
refugee, provided he comes from
some place where the cops are
tough. But most ‘refugees’ are
not refugees at all. They are not
threatened with damage to life or
limb.

As @ government report made
clear last year, no more than 10
per cent are real refugees. They |
simply don’t want to live in their
native countries. But the Gwynnes
hear voices, and the voices say
that moving the population of |
South East Asia te Canada is
God’s Work. And not only the
population of South East Asia.
Come the four corners of the
earth, and we must not shock
them by telling them to beat it.

Gwynne can’t understand why
his Laotian lot cannot get in right
away. ‘Why would anyone turn
down two financially-sound chur-
ches as sponsors?’’ he asked.

If the reasons implicit in the
above are not enough, I can give }
him others: churches have been
known to renege on their com-
mitments. And Weiner has been
known to tell them not to worry
about such things. The taxpayer
will pick up the tab. i

If St. David's is concerned with
suffering humanity, why not do
more on the North Shore? Why
scour South East Asia for
problems?
