Justin Trudeau has sought to temper the notion that Canada is a guaranteed safe haven for those fleeing the threat of deportation in the United States, as his government faces criticism that its refugee-friendly messaging has given “false hope” to the thousands of asylum seekers streaming into Canada from the US.
Since the start of the year, more than 11,300 people have crossed into Canada by foot from the US. The pace has picked up in recent weeks, with as many as 250 people a day – many of them driven by fears of Donald Trump’s crackdown on immigrants – entering the country at remote, unguarded locations.

Four of the toughest countries in the world to legally emigrate to, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Mexico are some of the worse critics of President Trump’s plans to reduce and eliminate our illegal alien burden.
Try going to any of these 4 countries without or even with passports and try to live in those countries for the rest of your life.
