canada declares santa a citizen

[Amby 490]

Santa Claus has been declared a Canadian citizen with fully authorized re-entry rights, the country's citizenship minister announced in Ottawa.

In a formal statement, Jason Kenney, the minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism, declared the legendary Christmas gift-giver Canuck status, the Canwest News Service reported.

The Government of Canada wishes Santa the very best in his Christmas Eve duties and wants to let him know that, as a Canadian citizen, he has the automatic right to re-enter Canada once his trip around the world is complete, Kenney's statement said.

The report noted Santa's traditional red and white attire matches Canada's flag colors, and said the North American Aerospace Defense Command Santa tracker always shows his trip beginning in the Canadian Arctic. The joint Canadian-U.S. NORAD has issued real-time tracking of Santa's worldwide Christmas trek for more than 50 years and posts his progress at www.noradsanta.org.

No.

I wonder if Santa will have to install a speed limiter for next years trip to Ontario.

Most important is the USCIS to grant USC to Santa, now that's really important.

Is that all that different than NORAD "tracking" Santa every year?

Can't think of too many things more important than supporting Santa and the Christmas Spirit on December 24th and 25th!

I know why, so that he can go back and forth w/o worrying about his immigration status.

I wonder if he has a EAD to work in the US, he comes 1 a year and works a day, I demand an investigation, maybe he doesn't even own a SSN! also check those permits on those reindeers, were they lawfully intoduced into the US; did they get their rabies shots?

Now how many illegals are going to claim they are Santa?

And what about the easter bunny and the tooth fairy?
