last weekend almost two dozen refugees walked over the border from the U.S. into Canada. Officials in the municipality of Emerson-Franklin directly south of Winnipeg worry about dealing with the rising numbers as they seem to be increasing.
Doug Johnston a councilor for the municipality said:"This is right off the scale for us."
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) confirmed that 22 people had crossed the border for Noyes, Minnesota into the Emerson area in Manitoba Canada. Johnston said that this is more than he has ever seen within such a short period. Rita Chahai, director of the Manitoba Interfaith Immigration Council said that last week another 10 refugee claimant files had been opened. Chahai said:
"What we notice when they are in our office is that they are just extremely grateful and happy they have a chance at a fair hearing. To us, that's what is really important; that they are out of harm's way."
Most of the refugees come north to Manitoba through Minneapolis Minnesota. They are originally from such places as Somalia, Ghana and Djibouti. Four who arrived this weekend were from Somalia. Many of the refugees have no clue about weather conditions in Manitoba at this time of year and are not properly dressed. Johnston said he fears that some refugee is going to die if the number trying to get in increases while it is dead winter still.

Good. Let the socialists in Canada deal with them.
Exactly
Almost two dozen, you say.
Two dozen!
We get that many PER HOUR on our southern border.
Perhaps they can build warming stations along the border.
Want to bet they have Obama supplied SSN and Green Cards so should be sent back . When was the last time Refugees entered Canada from the US ,War of 1812 or the Civil War ?
Oh Canada, Oh Canada, be careful what you wish for.....
Well, Trudeau invited them.
Maybe we should set up a coffee nook on the border to help their travel.
Or set up a Tim Horton’s there. Once they have a few Tim-Bits they won’t want to go back.
Was Trudeau there to hand them his box of Oreos?
LOL! I like it - coffee and donuts to help them on their way. With a map to the nearest haven in Canada.
Why don’t they head south where the beaches are warm and the burritos are cheap?
And the camels play with the goats!
We will be glad to pass thru more.
Enjoy the drain your resources!
"of course we apologized to them for having to walk here"
Let’s see how their new commie prime minister deals with the non-existent threat of refugees...
Good point.
That high speed rail boondoggle should be realigned to run from San Ysidro to Moosejaw.
Nonstop. One way only.
We need to put explicit directions to Canada on all leftist media sites...
They claim to be refugees. Therefore, there must be some reason they fear the US government even though the US government let them in. That means there is something they did before they got here and they didn’t tell the US government, or they did something after they got here that they know the US government doesn’t like.
Or they’re mentally ill and suffering from paranoia.
Or, they just found out Canada has better welfare for refugees.
In any case, good riddance.
