Canada sees 'unsustainable' spike in asylum seekers at U.S. border

TORONTO/MONTREAL (Reuters) - 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 US should provide free bus rides to the Canadian border.

But I thought Trudeau wanted to welcome an unlimited number of refugees that Trump was rejecting. . .

that’s just Haitians. Trudeau invited the Mexicans a few months ago to slight Trump. They’re still packing but they’ll be heading north, too, as soon as the desert cools.

There is no bigger crisis or tragedy in America or Canada that “unsustainability.” Better plant some more sustainable organic kale and tofu, stat!

Well, my Canadian brothers, you better tell Trudeau to stop inviting more of these people to come in. They are not going to stop on their own, not when they feel the need to flee Trump’s America. Send a few Mounties to Ottawa, and say
Pas Plus! (No more!).

Nonsense. There are no limits to the numbers of immigrants that Canada can bring in to their country. NO. LIMITS.

Didn’t realize that Canada is such a RACIST COUNTRY...to the point of not wanting these new immigrants, based only on their skin color.

But then again, I should have known better, as Canadians have spent most of my lifetime telling me how racist the United States is - in other words PROJECT the ABJECT RACISM of Canadians on the US.

There is a ton of empty space between North Bay and Winnipeg. I imagine that there would be more than room enough to hold everyone in the world. And the bugs would eat well in the summer.

As for the winters . . . that is why Canada will never have the problems that the U.S. faces.

Oh, so the refugee asylum seekers are Hatain?

What happened to the poor Mexicans we were led to believe were seeking refuge in Canaduh?

Moreover, how is a country as vast and rich as Canaduh refuses to help a few thousand poor, beset upon, refugees?

“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.”

If Trudeau keeps letting these illegal immigrants into primarily Quebec, Trudeau will lose the next election, and Quebec will once again vote to secede from the rest of Canada.

In terms of land mass, Canada is bigger than the US, so there’s plenty of room.
