Quebec preparing for up to 400 asylum seekers a day at the U.S. border this summer

MONTREAL—Quebec government is demanding that Ottawa come up with a new plan for handling asylum seekers with projections that up to 400 people each day could begin crossing into Canada this summer.

“Last year, we peaked at about 250 a day and that was considered massive,” said Quebec Immigration Minister David Heurtel. “Right now, there are projections on the table saying that we could go in the neighbourhood of 400 people per day.”

The province says it wants the federal government to investigate a suspected trafficking network that is helping refugee claimants — most of them Nigerian — to travel to the United States and sneak across the border into Canada at Roxham Road, which connects New York State with Quebec.

do it. We need more case law to bolster US cases against human traffickers shipping people through Mexico

Time for another visit. Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver - our three largest cities, are much more racially mixed than any city in America, and the percentages are even more skewed in the under 30 demographic.

Trump aught to put the caravan folks on a bus and drop them off in Quebec.
It’s not likely the unilingual spanish folks will realize they are in a french speaking part of north america

I’ve personally visited a spot in Vermont,no more than a mile from the northernmost point of I-91,where one can easily walk over the border from Vermont to Quebec.The Vermont town is called Derby Line.

Surrey BC is home to the worlds largest community of Sikh long haul truckers based on what I see on I5.

As I remember Canada was the WHITEST country I’ve been to. 20 years ago.

Recently, I returned to Miami after 15 years of retirement. At Bascom-Palmer Eye Institute, surrounded by several hospitals, I thought I'd been teleported to Beijing!

I'd expected a cultural shock, but Asians (and a few Muzzies) wasn't what I expected.
