Illegal crossings into Canada may reach crisis level
Digital Journal ^ | 20 April 2017 | Karen Graham

Ontario - New figures released by the federal government show that illegal border crossings into Canada continue to rise, with 877 people picked up in March by the RCMP, an increase over the 658 people picked up in February and the 315 in January.

The numbers do not include those people coming into Canada through legal entry points along the Canada=U.S. border, nor do they include those immigrants that haven't been caught, so the number of asylum seekers could be much higher, according to CBC Canada.

Perhaps even more worrisome is the fears that criminals may be coming into the country. Residents in Emerson, Manitoba are getting worried because they have seen a steady stream of illegal border crossers for several months.

“With not getting any of these numbers, and we know there are some criminals coming in through the mix of all these people jumping across the border, the local residents are getting a lot more concerned,” reeve Greg Janzen said.

“Perhaps even more worrisome is the fears that criminals may be coming into the country.” Wait, you mean it is not solely a US problem? Please tell that to the dinosaur media. HaHaHa...

Perhaps the election of Trump is compelling ALL of our friends to consider their own borders.

Why? Have the liberals finally made good on their threats to leave if Trump won?

I believe the Canadian PM is on record saying he welcomes "refugees and immigrants." (unlike the racist Trump and those right wing Americans).

Can we box up a few hundred thousand of them and send them up north? And let's see if Hussein Obama wants to go too.

For Canada, the horror!

I've had that many illegal aliens living across the street from me in Phoenix, all in one house.

so the number of asylum seekers could be much higher, according to CBC Canada.

Asylum seekers? Don't they mean "migrants?"

This is confusing. Isn’t illegal immigration a good thing?

Not really thinking anything is a “crisis” in Canada re: immigration. We’ve been putting up with the illegal immigration crap for decades, with Canada getting the benefit of this country being a buffer. Suck it up wusses and welcome to the party.

I thought that the idiot Prime Minister wanted all these people to come into Canada.

Why don’t we send them the refugees that are coming from Australia?

We’re just getting ready for when, not if, climate change turns the US into a desert and we need a cooler place:)
