The number of asylum seekers who illegally crossed the U.S. border into Canada more than tripled last month, according to Canadian government data released on Thursday, as migrants worried about the U.S. administration's immigration crackdown head north.
More than 3,100 people walked across the border illegally in July to file refugee claims and were arrested, up from 884 in June, the federal government said.
Ninety-six percent of them went to Quebec, where an influx of asylum seekers, primarily Haitians, is sparking a backlash from opposition politicians and anti-immigrant groups in the primarily French-speaking province.
The Montreal suburb of Boucherville has received dozens of messages on social media denouncing the asylum seekers, some of whom are being housed at a former seniors’ home in the quiet suburb, according to local media reports. Montreal, Quebec's biggest city, opened its Olympic Stadium to house the arrivals.
Sylvain Brouillette, a spokesman for right-wing extremist group La Meute which is organizing a Quebec City protest on Sunday, said his group is protesting the "policies of the Trudeau government toward illegal immigration."

Hard to feel too sorry for them. Maybe they can build a wall and make the Mexicans pay for it.
Welcome to our world, Trudeau. Let’s hear it now for the defense of “unsustainable” illegal immigrants you have been lecturing the US about.
Haitian refuge problems, and the clinton’s are in Montreal right now.
Coincidence?
That's not true. I have a lady friend who was born, raised and still lives in Quebec. She, and others in her family, are Trump supporters.
Her son is a member of the RCMP, and often encounters aliens trying to sneak in from the US. He hates them, and is completely opposed to allowing them in the country.
Bummer. Need to build a wall.
Your pussified Prime Minister asked for them, and he got them.
OH, Canada
I thought Love Child claimed that Canada was 10x the US.
To Canada, oh the humanity!
You take them, fairy-face trudeau!
But what little I know about Trudeau suggests that he's not one who's inclined to change his mind.
I love Canada — America’s pressure relieve valve.
What Canada really needs is someone like Merkel as Head of State.
Some schools in NYC are 60% Dominican born or Dominican parentages. A lot more Dominicans than just shortstops leave the DR. In fact back in 92 Mayor Dinkins was asked about the unprecedented numbers coming to NYC from the DR said ig would be foolish to stay in yhe DR since with welfare and meficaid and foodstamps they would have a lot better life here in NY. Many found sealift to PR, paid for forged birth certs and came to NY as legal Puerto Ricans, even though someone as unskilled in Spanish as me could tell the difference from the accents.
If they do that we should build a wall on *both* borders!
Hey Canada. Shoes on the other foot now, eh? Ya hosers. Get used it. It’s all about ‘’diversity’’, eh?
Just 30 million more to go.
You might want to get a head start on tearing down all those Canadian monuments now.
You wouldn't want to upset your new "citizens".
I thought the hosers were compassionate and the USA were haters. Hey, hosers, stop hating your supposedly beloved immigrants. Have you no shame? Have you no soul?
Dominicans won’t let them in. They’ve seen what Voudoo does to a civilization.
I suggest the Haitians start learning how to play hockey.
Now if they’d only take back Justin Bieber.
