[Canadian] Officials eye Salvadorans as potential source of next wave of border crossers

OTTAWA — Officials in Canada and the U.S. are concerned that the next wave of asylum seekers at the border could be a population far bigger than the Haitians crossing now.

More than 260,000 Salvadorans are facing deportation from the United States if their temporary protected status there is lifted in March — four times the number of Haitians covered by the program.

A belief among Haitians that their status will end in January has sent thousands fleeing to Canada; they make up the majority of the nearly 7,000 people apprehended crossing at an unofficial border point in Quebec this summer.

Government officials on both sides of the border told The Canadian Press this week that whether Salvadorans will follow in their footsteps is, for now, an scary unknown, given how much the current influx is already straining resources.

The U.S. has not ended temporary protected status for either Haitians or Salvadorans, but has signalled it may not be renewed when it expires. There are other nationalities whose protected status also expiring, among them Hondurans. About 86,000 would be affected.

Spanish should join French as an official language in Canada.

Arabic too.

Better start making road signs in Spanish.
“Buenas! Tenemos bastante visitantes por ahora. Lo siento, pero gracias!
(Hi, We have enough visitors for now. Sorry, but thanks anyway.)

If Canadians have toilet paper, they are indeed in danger from Venezuelans.

Any illegal caught north of the Mason Dixon line should be treated like Mexico does illegals that are traversing their country to get to the US. Put them on mass transport, give them educational propaganda to instruct them on how to successfully claim asylum in Canada and kick them out at the Canadian border.

Canada wants refugees? We’ll give them to you.

And the present liberal fascist blivet( Just In Threw-though) Canada has as a Prime Minister will turn none away.Military spending will yet again be diverted to give social program handouts to these asylum seekers, same as he did to ten thousand un-vetted Syrians.
