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.

Throwing in the towel at a mere 11,300? Doesn’t take many to change your perspective.
justin is such an absolute racist and immigrant-hating idiot. That said...canada has lots of room...look at a map. Why are the candadians so hate-filled and restrictive? Have they no compassion for their world brothers and sisters???
Shock!!! There are limits to what a country can deal with!!! Let’s start calling Trudeau a racists and see how he likes it.
Sounds like a plan!
But I thought the lefties believed it the height of evil for a nation (but perhaps just the USA...) to impose any restrictions on immigration whatsoever!
Trudeau enforcing immigration laws = perfectly acceptable.
Trump enforcing immigration laws = racist man who is worse than Hitler
To those fleeing poverty for a free ride, come on up! Canada has limitless resources, meaning taxpayers.
Justine's caving at 11,000? That doesn't even make the top 20 cities list in the U.S., by a factor of 10. Welcome to the party, pal.
I hope the immigrants destroy Canada.
