It seems every time I open my “refugee crime” alerts something pops up from Canada. Today, I have two, but technically one isn’t a refugee (though he is a legal immigrant in Canada after marrying a Canadian woman—who he killed by infecting her with HIV, but I’m getting ahead of myself).
The first story is about a Jamaican who first entered Canada sponsored by a parent, then committed a zillion crimes. He was deported in 1999 but snuck back into Canada where he applied for refugee status claiming he would be persecuted in Jamaica (Jamaica! not exactly a nation of persecutors), for what we are not told. Nonetheless Canada did grant him refugee status in 2003! His latest crime is pimping a 16 year old. Read all about this charming fellow, here, in the Toronto Sun.
TORONTO – Walford Uriah Steer is a career criminal who snuck back into Canada after being booted out 12 years ago because of his lengthy rap sheet.
But ironically the recently captured fugitive’s latest brush with the law may be just the ticket he needs to steer clear of a second one-way trip back to his native Jamaica.
It’s the latest bizarre twist in a confusing immigration story with almost as many contradictions and questions as the 39-year-old has criminal convictions.
Steer surfaced again this week when Toronto cops busted him for allegedly attempting to pimp out a 16-year-old girl.
Sources say his latest charges will likely have to be dealt with before he can be booted out of the country a second time.
What that means of course is that lucky Canadian taxpayers get to keep him in prison, feeding and clothing him for who knows how long.
Then in the second legal immigrant crime story in the Sun, we have a Trinidad born man busily infecting sex partners with HIV AIDS.
A Toronto man once described as “a ticking bomb” after exposing his now dead former wife to AIDS is again facing charges of allegedly failing to inform a lover he has the dreaded condition.
[….]
Williams, who was diagnosed as HIV-positive in 1997, has faced similar charges in the past.
In 2005, he was accused of knowingly infecting his ex-wife with HIV.
Mary Maxenita Williams’ daughter Michelle Kelly went to police in her mother’s last stages of life, alleging her former step-father continued to have unprotected sex with women without informing them of his HIV status.
Police issued an alert to other potential sex partners of the suspect in April 2005.
Six women came forward.
“He’s ruined several women’s lives,” Kelly said in an interview with the Toronto Sun at the time.
Trinidadian-born Williams walked out on his new wife after he got his Canadian citizenship papers eight months after they married, Kelly’s sister, Yvette Ferguson, alleged in the same interview.
“He was cheating on her the whole time,” she claimed.
Their mother died of AIDS-related complications in May 2005.
Of course, you gotta wonder why on earth the Canadian legal system let this guy, a ticking bomb, out on bail in the first place!
