What's "bogus" about Hungary's Roma refugees?

In the 1930's Canada was very vigilant about keeping another group of "bogus" refugees out of the country.

Those Jewish folks didn't have a darn thing to worry about in Germany. Canada turned them back with a "good luck to ya and that Hitler chap isn't such a bad guy. Get over yourselves."

Seventy-five years later it's deja vu all over again. Immigration Minister Jason Kenney is pretty much at the end of his rope when it comes to those bogus Romas flooding Canada's refugee system.

It really doesn't require a lot of effort in this day and age to find news stories about the situation the Roma face in Hungary and a lot of other places. I appreciate that Kenney is a busy guy but surely there is someone in his office who can take the half hour.

Just google "Roma in Hungary" and see what comes up.

It ain't pretty.

It's an acceptable opinion in Hungary to advocate rounding up the Roma and confining them to camps.

Sound familiar?
