The only proper response is to put a lot more resources into processing these claims PRONTO! The delays indicated are unacceptable, and part of the reason many believe they have nothing to lose by trying.

The faster it becomes obvious to these claimants that they do NOT qualify as asylum-seekers and will not be allowed to stay, the faster word will get out to those thinking of doing the same thing, the fewer resources Canada will have to spend providing housing and social services to them, and the less time they will have to get so ensconced in the country that they will have "humanitarian" reasons to stay.

It isn't fair to all the legitimate refugees and immigrants.
