On December 1 of this year, the Canadian government will lift the visa requirement for Mexican visitors. Immigration experts are concerned that “Canada will now become even more of a launching point for illegal entry into the United States.”
Immigration watchers are concerned that illegal aliens will use the opportunity to come across the “largely unguarded” Canadian-United States border.
The Director of Policy Studies at the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), Jessica Vaughan, told Breitbart Texas, “This could be enticing because some parts of our southern border have been hardened and are now very difficult to cross without being detected.”
Vaughan said that our border agency should be very concerned that Mexicans will be able to travel to Canada without a visa. She noted that this raises the possibility that Mexican nationals, and “especially those Mexicans who have been deported already from the United States, or anyone who fraudulently obtains a Mexican passport, might seek to enter the United States illegally from Canada across our largely unguarded northern border.”

I remember in school being told every year - "the longest (about 3000 miles) unguarded border in the world". Then it was a symbol of Canadian-American friendship, now it is a threat to our sovereignty and security. Times have changed.
And I expect they would head for the Boston Area where the liberals who dominate this area would welcome them. -tom
So these “poor freedom seekers” have the funds to fly from Mexico to Canada and then make their way to the US border just so they can cross over to “find opportunity”?
Really why would a Mexican want to travel to Canada?
There is no such thing as a Mexican tourist. Most of them (90% of the population) are living in poverty until they get to the USA and receive welfare.
And just what do you think bammy and trudeau talked about during their meeting in Ottawa last week? The grandkids?
You’ve got THAT right.
The hits keep coming. The entire world can’t wait to knock us down and they finally hace this POS despicable America hating human trash, Obama, to help lead the battle.
They are already forking the over a couple grand to coyotes. Why not ride to a civilized country and walk across where it is safe? The Canadians are stupid because plenty of these people will stay in Canada.
About a year previously to a policy enactment by the Stephen Harper Conservative government the alarms went off. Number of Mexicans admitted to Canada was 9462. It was found a consistency in most of them breaking the rules of entry.
The Conservative government then enacted a new law requiring a visa for Mexicans to enter Canada. With such a visa one is generally required to return to one' country within a certain time. In 2008 the numbers of Mexican applicants dropped to 1,999. Justin Trudeau gained his office last August.
I would venture, without being too critical, that Prime Minister Trudeau seems absolutely oblivious of the fact of logistics. This in providing accommodation, medical care, employment for newcomers.
Which parts?
The problem isn't crossing without being detected. The only problem is waiting in the growing crowd going across. This just cuts the wait time.
Canada is going full steam ahead with their Mini Merkel experiment.
But won’t they lose the free goodies and transportation to the bus station by ICE?
The Mexicans probably would fly over US territory to Canada.
We can check airline manifests to see that they return to Mexico.
E-verify needs to be made mandatory.
Canada has always been the main point of entry for Muslims and terrorists. The focus on the southern border has been a convenient distraction for the terrorists.
The Canadian border has always been like crossing from one state to another. My ancestors crossed back and forth with no regard for the border. As a kid my family would cross back and forth, usually with no questions asked. Recently I went to Canada with my adult kids and sisters. Coming back thru a dimly lit low traffic entry point I had my window rolled down and drivers license handy. The DHS guy shown a flashlight in my face, did not examine my license, saw an adult woman was in the passenger seat. He knew people were in the back but had no clue who they were and did not care to know.
Don’t you need a passport to go to Canada nowadays?
Maybe Trump needs to build 2 walls? (and make Canada pay for one)
We need a Constitutional amendment:
The provision of benefits to persons and groups of persons by the federal government may only be funded:
1. from up to 5% of income from basic rate income taxation on natural persons and
2. to provide worker over age 65 medical/retirement benefits:
a. flat-rate taxation, equally up to 10% each on employer/employee, up to $30,000/year in total per employee
b. self-employment taxation no more than (a) employee taxation on an after federal tax basis
c. recipient medical insurance program premiums
An immigration amnesty might be made contingent on the ratification of such an amendment.
