Full title: "'Swiss cheese border': Canadian border patrol union calls for hundreds more workers as it struggles to cope with wave of immigrants fleeing to the country on foot from Trump's America"

---

The border officer's union in Canada wants to beef up security along the United States border after 382 people made asylum claims at a single entry point in January and a further 200 entered illegally in the last week.

Jean-Pierre Fortin, president of the Customs and Immigration Union, said he believes there are more illegal crossings taking place than officials are aware of.

One port in Quebec has experienced a particularly large number of asylum-seekers and illegal immigrants - the Saint Bernard Lecolle in the small town of Emerson, Manitoba, just outside of Montreal.

Fortin said that last week alone, at least 200 immigrants entered the country illegally near the Lecolle port. He said the influx began in November 2016 - the month Donald Trump was elected president.

Tons of photos at the site of these poor, poor waifs (snif)

All Reuters, though, so have to click on it to see...

[reg45]

Maybe they can urge Trudeau to build a wall!

[ASOC]

LMAO

Now that the shoe is on THIER foot, the Canooks don’t have any snark for US concerns over “Illegal aliens”

Not so funny now, eh?

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Heh heh heh...

Just herd ‘em into the cage....ship ‘em straight to Mexico.

[OrangeHoof]

Just be sure to renounce your citizenships (if you had any) before leaving the country. After that, have a good day, eh?

They do look like poor waifs. But in the vein of "why we can't have nice things" they are useful idiots in the flooding of this country with non-assimilable Muslims well seeded with fanatic Jihadis. I feel sorry for them, but not enough to give everybody in the ME welfare and unvetted entrance into the country.

[Wissa]

Maybe they can urge Trudeau to build a wall!

Yeah, I can see it now. Canada will build a wall and make the USA pay for it.

I personally know a place where one can *easily* cross into Canada.I've been there.and I've read that there are many,many places (many in the West) where one can do it.In fact the place I've been to has been reported by the Canadian press.People cross there,stop,call Canadian police and immediately lodge an application for asylum.

[ExGeeEye]

How dare those racists insist on “securing” their “border”!!

This is one of the AP photos

The caption is priceless (emphasis mine): "One by one they scrambled across the snowy gully separating the two countries. Family members dragged luggage and pushed their toddler in a stroller through the snow before Canadian officers detained them, per standard procedure for refugee claimants. One officer flashed a smile as he helped a little girl over a gully"

Yes, the officer is flashing a smile now. Wait not too long before there's a drunken Mexican illegal some night behind the wheel mowing down Canadians with his car...

[goodnesswins]

At least they are warmly dressed! Oh, and btw, those don’t look like Mexicans...just sayin’

As I live and breathe.

Not only is President Trump draining the swamp here in America, creating jobs, energizing the stock market, raising the hope of all American citizens, but he is also re-invigorating the Canadian economy by providing jobs and job security for union Canadian border agents while at the same time incentivizing Illegal Criminal Alien Invaders (ICAI) to emigrate anywhere else.

Way to go, Mr. President!

It is a sad testimony of the country of Mexico that their own citizens, illegally and criminally squatting on our sovereign American soil, are willing to brave the cold Canadian (Land of Eh?) winters, potential maple syrup overdoses, socialized medicine and taxation without representation, rather than return to Mexico where it's warmer, where they all speak the same language and share the same culture.

Go figure.

[COBOL2Java]

Yeah many of them don’t. Interesting to note that there are more illegals in America than Mexican, though...

“Maybe they can urge Trudeau to build a wall!”

This is one time I’m glad the joke is actually PM.

That Canadian border is taking care of ours and Mexico’s problem.

And in the end, either Canada takes all of the illegals, or they dump their PM for someone sane. A win both ways!

[DIRTYSECRET]

We take Canada. They keep Quebec for the Frogs..

[Dilbert San Diego]

Emerson, Manitoba is just outside Montreal??? Montreal, Quebec??? Did someone make a mistake in the geography of this story?????

[metmom]

So where is everyone who is screaming how unfair it is that Canada is defending its borders and actually ARRESTING the poor *dreamers?

Where are they DEMANDING that Canada accept every *undocumented* person and give them free housing, free food, free education, free medical care?

[Paladin2]

"the Saint Bernard Lecolle in the small town of Emerson, Manitoba, just outside of Montreal. "

WTF?

[I want the USA back]

Will pretty boy Trudeau build a wall?

[metmom]

Yeah many of them don’t. Interesting to note that there are more illegals in America than Mexican, though..

Did you ever see Mexico's immigration policies and what they do to illegals?

They don't put up with it.

We should adopt their policy and enforce it like they do and when they piss and moan about how awful we are, we can throw it back in their face that we are only doing the same as them.
