Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is blaming President Donald Trump and his “domestic realities” for the tens of thousands of illegal immigrants coming into Canada.
Trudeau made the comments Friday during a year-end interview with Global News.
Dubbed a “border crisis” by the Official Opposition Conservatives, an increasing number of Canadians are also concerned about the steady stream of illegals coming into Canada, according to polls. The flood of would-be refugees began shortly after Trudeau issued the now infamous #WelcomeToCanada tweet in January 2017 that invited the refugees of the world to come to Canada, even as Trump aimed to tighten American borders.
While the illegals sit in Canada waiting to see a refugee board, they receive accommodation, medical care and legal aid at taxpayer expense. Many are staying in three-star hotels because migrants have already eliminated any vacancies in homeless shelters. The Opposition has tabulated the cost to the federal government at over $1 billion (CAD).
Trudeau is also an enthusiastic advocate of the United Nations Global Compact on Migration that the United States has rejected on the grounds that it could inhibit national sovereignty. Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer pleaded with Trudeau to reject the treaty but the prime minister would not hear of it. He thinks the Conservative opposition to the pact is “dangerous.” (RELATED: Conservatives Tell Trudeau To Stop UN From Making Immigration Policy For Country)

Trudeu said.....” Certainly, if people are fleeing the United States right now and are choosing to leave the United States right now, it’s not something I said. It is perhaps domestic realities within the political context in the United States that is driving people to move or to make those certain decisions.”
What he certainly did indeed say..without question:
“To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength... Welcome To Canada”

The article states as well.....”Many refugees are staying in ‘three-star hotels’ because migrants have already eliminated any vacancies in homeless shelters.... The Opposition has tabulated the cost to the federal government at over $1 billion .”
Also....Since Trudeau welcomed the refugees of the world, over 36,000 people have illegally entered Canada from the United States.....
get real and drop the holier than thou crap...you birds elected Obama twice and damn near got another Clinton....all Marxists and just as bad as Trudeau and his old man...
Seems Canada needs to provide funding for their own Southern border wall! Hah!
Trudie is as feckless as France’s Macron.
Good posting!
With all of that, NOW the US will face immigration of REAL Canadian citizens coming into our country from the Northern border.
Didn’t Canada’s immigration laws used to require that immigrants possess enough money that they would not have to rely on the welfare programs there?
Who the heck are YOU to assume I voted for any of those dummocrap commie operatives, or that all NYers did so? You have an obvious lack of analytical skills, so I wouldn't show that to the world by making absurd sweeping statements. Orthodox Jews voted overwhelmingly for conservative candidates. They hated Odungo and they hated Clinton. Better study up on your facts before you paint everyone with the same overly broad brush.
On the entry requirements to Canada. I remember in 1955, I was to told I had to have $150 prior to landing. Wage in Nova Scotia when I set foot in Canada was about $50 per week. I was told by a councillor there - either get a job or go somewhere else.
Fair enough. They would flay such a councillor at manpower today- if that was said to a visible minority person.
LOL gotta love Karma... Trudeau sooooo deserves this.
yt=You Tube
“I would think that the subterfuge is to claim refugee status.”
-
Same as here.
.
Sorry Trudeau, Mexico and you have immigration issues you’ll have to solve yourselves.
Please post some evidence that Canadians in general...”feel your borders should be open” before you start calling us “bastards”...when hundreds of thousands of Caknuckle heads waving hockey sticks try crashing your northern border....then you can legitimately call us “Bastards.” Cool your jets, you make us Trump supporters up here look bad.
gimme a break...we have survived worse politicians than Trudeau over our 200 years history, including a couple of invasions from our southern cousins...you birds survived 8 years of Obama...this clown will be kicking his lunchbox down the road next October
when you birds elected Obama....twice... and he refused to sanction the KXL border crossing, we did not blame “the people” of America..we blamed an asshole politician...
Actually they were Syrian refugees that Immigration officials had already vetted.....please ....we already have sufficient fake news in the system.
What is it about spreading bullshit some of you don’t get ....when you decide to comment on another country at least do some research first...this is what Trudeau actually said..
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said he will not lecture President Donald Trump on Syrian refugees.
“The last thing Canadians expect is for me to come down and lecture another country on how they choose to govern,” he said at the White House.
Both leaders stressed the countries’ shared economic goals and co-operation at a joint news conference.
But their responses to questions about Syrian refugees underscored their contrasting policies on immigration.
Mr Trump defended his controversial travel ban, saying he wanted “to have a big beautiful, open door”, but that “we cannot let the wrong people in”.
The US president has stirred controversy for issuing an executive order temporarily banning entry of all refugees and visitors from seven mainly Muslim countries.
A federal judge has issued a temporary nationwide block on the travel ban, but the issue of refugees appeared to overshadow the joint news conference.
