Justin Trudeau tones down warm welcome for migrants as Canada struggles to cope with influx

Justin Trudeau has sought to tone down the warm welcome he promised to migrants, after arrivals at the Canadian border hit 250 a day, leaving immigration officials struggling to cope with the influx.

To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength #WelcomeToCanada — Justin Trudeau (@JustinTrudeau) January 28, 2017

But since the start of the year more than 11,300 people have crossed into Canada by foot from the US, with the surge due in large part to fears about Mr Trump’s immigration policy.

Canada is on track to record the most refugee claims in a decade.

The majority – around 85 per cent, according to Canadian officials – are from Haiti. In May Mr Trump floated the idea of rescinding a long-standing agreement to allow Haitians to remain in the country, meaning that a possible 58,000 Haitians could be deported in 2018.

We really should help these refugees by busing them to the Canadian border. They should not have to walk. Winter is coming soon . It’s the least that we can do.

Hope they do not have any offensive statues up North

Baby-Doc Trudeau's core constituency is white sodomites, not Haitians.

But Quebec separatists will welcome welfare-Haitians, since they are francophone.

Unintended consequences; collateral damage.

Canadians will continue to vote for him because he’s so pretty.

Hey Justin, olde chap; Here’s a news flash. They’re coming there for the freebies. It isn’t Canada’s balmy weather; nor even your own smiling, welcoming countenence. They are freeloading, blood-sucking leeches. Enjoy.

There’s a couple Canadian ladies who post on one of my Yahoo groups and they’re so anti-Trump and smug about how pure and good their Canadian socialist policies are. Ha ha, friends.

[Silentgypsy]

Well, they’ve sort of asked for it.

[Georgia Girl 2]

11,300 we no longer have to deal with. :-)

[Silentgypsy]

The Quebecoise can have them with our blessings.

[Fawn]

WHy do liberals never see an end result or consequences....it’s all about Feeling good in the moment.

[Silentgypsy]

Let’s pray that they continue to do so.

[Silentgypsy]

May they enjoy their purity.

[Silentgypsy]

Let us pray that they continue to do so.
