OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada fears a huge surge in asylum seekers crossing the border from the United States, putting political pressure on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ahead of a 2019 election, sources familiar with the matter said on Wednesday.
The number of migrants illegally entering Canada more than tripled in July and August, hitting nearly 7,000. Haitians, who face looming deportation from the United States when their temporary protected status expires in January 2018, accounted for much of the inflow.
Two sources familiar with Canadian government thinking said citizens from El Salvador, Nicaragua and Honduras, who are slated to lose their U.S. protected status in early 2018, may also head north.
"There is concern we'll see a huge increase, mostly from Central America," said one source.
"The question is, which group is next, and how are we going to deal with it, and what is the impact on Canadians?" added the source, who requested anonymity given the sensitivity of the situation.(snip)
A Reuters poll in March found nearly half of Canadians want to deport people who are illegally crossing from the United States.
A Haitian-Canadian Liberal legislator is due to visit Miami on Thursday, home to a large expatriate community, in a bid to persuade people to stay put. Officials complain false stories are circulating about how easy it is to be granted permission to stay in Canada.
Some of the Haitians are in temporary housing, including Montreal's Olympic Stadium and at least two tent camps near the border.
Critics accuse Trudeau of encouraging would-be refugees to come to Canada without thinking through the consequences.

Now they know what it is like to elect a liberal idiot and watch him throw open the doors to your nation for all losers, scum-bags, perverts and maniacs from around the world.
Hah! Reaping what Dipsh*t has sown! Where’s Rosie O’Fat?
Enjoy the show, misery and mayhem.
We should be helping them "migrate" to Canada.
Build that wall Trudeau.
It will be amusing to watch how quickly Canaduh disavows socialism if they are inundated with a million or so “refugees” with their hands out.
Would the libs all claim that early half of all Canadians are racists?
And just for voting in a leftist as your PM, we will give you the Obama family too!
I hope no one accidentally gets eaten by bears.
sorry my tiny violin is at the cleaners...
“The question is, which group is next, and how are we going to deal with it, and what is the impact on Canadians?” added the source, who requested anonymity given the sensitivity of the situation.”
Wow, Canadians are so racist.
Elections have consequences.
We learned our lesson.
Now Canada can learn theirs’.
Underground Railroad, Part Deux.
I bet they are missing Harper about now.
This only works for about another six weeks...then WINTER arrives. My gut feeling is that a quarter of the migrants will pack and leave by the end of December...saying they weren’t expecting this kind of weather.
They are led by Angela Trudeau, so none of them should act surprised by turning into Little Haiti.
The Haitians are already complaining about their accommodations. They expected to be moved directly into apartments and are complaining about having to live temporarily in hotels. LOL
Enjoy your new neighbors Canada!
