Justin Trudeau tones down warm welcome for migrants as Canada struggles to cope with influx

Justin Trudeau has sought to tone down the warm welcome he promised to migrants, after arrivals at the Canadian border hit 250 a day, leaving immigration officials struggling to cope with the influx.

To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength #WelcomeToCanada — Justin Trudeau (@JustinTrudeau) January 28, 2017

But since the start of the year more than 11,300 people have crossed into Canada by foot from the US, with the surge due in large part to fears about Mr Trump’s immigration policy.

Canada is on track to record the most refugee claims in a decade.

The majority – around 85 per cent, according to Canadian officials – are from Haiti. In May Mr Trump floated the idea of rescinding a long-standing agreement to allow Haitians to remain in the country, meaning that a possible 58,000 Haitians could be deported in 2018.

That’s like California’s decades-long permission to open carry a gun in public:

it was perfectly fine until a few people started DOING it.

and it’s like that for Trudeau:

come on in feel free to live here, unless some people actually DO.

very instructive.

Easy to be “anti-racist” when your country is like 99% white.

Ah, but therein lies the rub.

Very instructive to people like you and me - but libs seems to have a defective learning gene.

Who in their right mind could look at Europe and then say, "Come on up to Canada! We will welcome you with open arms!"

I'm sure there's a medical reason for this... like some part of the brain is missing...

Just think of all the money the US is saving just from those numbers.

Typical white-privilege racist behavior! Promise something to the immigrants (probably as some sort of sick joke), then take it away.

Are there any statues of Justin Trudeau in Canada? If so, take them down!

Pretty-BOY Trudeau is now realizing that he suffered a severe case of constipation of his brain associated with dirrheara of his mouth when he announced that Canada was opening its borders to all who could make it there. He attempted to make President Trump look bad. Stupid is as stupid does.

Justin was thinking he was going to get rich Hollywood liberals but instead, he got criminal freeloaders.
