Canada introduces bill to tighten asylum rules, sparking debate over security vs. refugee rights.

Canada proposes the Strong Borders Act to limit some asylum claims and enhance border security, aiming to curb organized crime and illegal activities. The bill could bar asylum claims from individuals in Canada for over a year and give authorities more power to halt immigration applications. Critics argue the bill threatens civil liberties, while supporters say it will protect the integrity of the immigration system. The legislation faces scrutiny for potentially increasing deportations and restricting refugee protections.
