Why should the UN have a say in Canada's refugee intake ?

I don't get this statement from our Immigration Minister:
On Monday, Kenney announced Canada would accept 2,500 more United Nations-designated refugees each year, springing them from camps and squalid slums that most have been stuck in for years.
Will Canada accept without a question or without it's own investigation anybody and everybody from the 2500 that the UN deems to be refugees on a yearly basis ?  The UN designates Palestinians as refugees and as living in camps and squalid slums and the media keeps telling us that about the Palestinians on almost a daily basis.  Would this mean that a people who are so embroiled in violence and hatred, will flock here as refugees?

The true refugees should be the Coptic Christians in Egypt and Iraq, although they do not live in camps  and the Christians in Pakistan whose churches and themselves are being burnt to cinders as we speak. The true refugees should be Nigerian Christians whose bodies are hacked into tiny bits.  UN does not give two hoots for these people.  If they were muslim... then oh my... the hue and cry would be heard all the way to Jupiter and beyond. 

It is an uneasy feeling that Canada will now let UN-designated refugees  as being true "refugees" in the perfect sense of the word.  What a laugh.

  2. Are not many of the camps run by the UN?

  3. I think it's because we would at least know they are "real" refugees, not like the fake ones that land at the Toronto airport and claim refugee status. If they are smart, they will let organizations like the Catholic/Christian churches have to bring over the best refugees.
