Asylum seekers crossing in the dead of night into Canada from the United States may face a new danger in coming weeks, as heavy snowpack melts in the flood-prone U.S. northern plains and province of Manitoba.
The western Canadian province on Monday said the Red River, which runs from North Dakota and Minnesota north into Canada, poses a major flood risk this spring.
Floodwaters that spread over land will make fields hard to navigate in the dark, said Bill Spanjer, emergency coordinator for the Rural Municipality of Emerson-Franklin, Manitoba, where 143 people have crossed illegally since Jan. 1, according to police, after 32 made the trip in December.
"Imagine gumbo and water," Spanjer said. "It would make even rescues difficult."
The exodus is partly out of concern they will be deported under U.S. President Donald Trump, whose crackdown on illegal migrants and travel restrictions against some Muslim-majority countries have alarmed asylum seekers.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
That is all.
Yeah! Rumor is they like to bite peoples sisters....
ROTFL. So the snowflakes melt before getting to Canada. Who cares? Good riddance.
Maybe they should flee to Mexico. Perhaps that would be safer.
Everything these people do is illegal.
In before...dang, post #2.
“Maybe they should flee to Mexico. Perhaps that would be safer.”
Maybe a boat to Syria or Somalia
It's SO SAD!

Much safer because guns are outlawed in Mexico. Except for the violent drug cartels who will shoot you down in a second for just looking at them.
Is there any other kind? If it's over water it's not a flood now is it?
At some point, it would almost be worth going home - to their real homes in Mexico.
Nature doesn’t even want liberals. It’s flushing them.
Funny as this is, honestly, I would gladly use as many of my tax dollars (and yes I most definitely pay taxes, and being salary I probably spend more hours working per week to pay them than the average worker works per week), but anyways, I would gladly spend every last one of them to facilitate these people to the border, if only to wipe the smug grin of self satisfaction off my Canadian aquaintances who seem to have nothing better to do than post cheetoh hitler memes 24/7
I’m trying to gin up some compassion, here.
Nope. Not gonna happen.
The price of freedom always involves risks. I am all for them taking those risks. However, those planning to do so this is a warning you should heed. Leave today, not tomorrow or the next day.
If the liberal “democrats” really care about these illegal aliens, they’d knock off the “sanctuary city” BS and use the money to buy bus tickets to Canada for these people.
I knew this had to be Trump's fault!
Also, Global Warming! A twofer!
