The United States is unsafe for would-be refugees and a Canada-U.S. agreement that compels asylum seekers to first apply for U.S. sanctuary ought to be ripped up, lawyers for refugees and rights groups argued in a Canadian federal court on Monday.
Under the Safe Third Country Agreement, asylum seekers at a formal Canada-U.S. border crossing traveling in either direction are turned back and told to apply for asylum in the country they first arrived in.
Lawyers for unnamed refugees who had been turned away are challenging the agreement, saying the United States does not qualify as a "safe" country under President Donald Trump. Human rights groups, including Amnesty International and the Canadian Council for Refugees, have also joined the case, which could change the way the two countries cooperate on refugee issues.

We need to have this declared officially and not take a single refugee ever again.
Shut it down then!
Canada is much safer..
Give them passage to Canada. Let them take in all refugees.
Trump administration should file an amicus brief in favor.
“We need to have this declared officially and not take a single refugee ever again. “
Refugees would be much better off and happier in Iran or somewhere in the Middle East - go there.
Canada’s village idiot, Justin Trudeau, wants to take in all asylum seekers. I mean the USA is not safe for refugees, because MS-13 has gangs in every city, But no gangs in Canada?
And besides the US has a 2nd amendment which is by definition, dangerous for liberals, so its just too dangerous for refugees.
Smug Canadians now have to put up with refugee gangs shooting each other with hand guns in Toronto; why aren’t those draconian Canadian gun control laws working? The answer is: NOT ENOUGH refugees!
So Canada has a “Send back them” policy just like Mexico, no?
Only Estados Stupidos is supposed to let everyone in, no questions asked.
Wow if we were labeled a WHITE SUPREMACIST ULTRA NATIONAL TERRORIST COUNTRY...
We’d REALLY cut down on immigration :)
Couldn’t agree more - don’t come here!
Yes- Don’t come here.
Yes, Canada is much safer than America. Send all the migrants/parasites there and build a wall along the northern border.
Great! Let’s make sure that news gets widely distributed.
As long as their end of the safe 3rd party deal still holds in that any refugees wanting to come to the US still have to wait in Canada more power to them. Hell, can we send the ones already here up there too? We will even send them Beiber back unless that is a deal breaker.
That’s right!
Get the message out!
Yes, they should all leave.
Country’s full, shut down immigration.
Free beer!
