Canadians Fume as Migrants Surge at Their Border

Hélène Gravel’s house sits on Roxham Road near Canada’s most famous illegal border crossing, used by migrants leaving the United States to seek asylum up north. She has watched with increasing frustration as a bitter winter has failed to stanch record inflows and as New York City even began buying bus tickets for migrants headed her way.

“There’s no political will to fix this,’’ Ms. Gravel, 77, said in her driveway, a stone’s throw from the border.

“Canada is soft,’’ she said, adding that asylum-seekers should be processed at official border crossings. “And the United States doesn’t care because this is nothing compared with what’s happening on their southern border.”

Though the numbers of migrants at the southern border of the United States are far higher, the numbers entering Canada are also surging.

Nearly 40,000 migrants crossed unlawfully into the country last year — more than double the number in 2019 — and the number arriving monthly has spiked recently, including almost 5,000 people in January.

Facing labor shortages, Canada is actually opening its doors much wider to legal migrants and recently committed itself to significantly raise the number of legal immigrants and accept 1.5 million newcomers by 2025.

Maybe they should call Biden. He’s good at protecting other countries borders.

From the article: “Migrants”.

Nope.

Illegal invaders.

Let’s say a couple of bums broke into the home of the ‘Times’ editor, and took over one of his bedrooms. Would the editor call the cops, or would he warmly welcome the bums as “unexpected residents”?

Just curious.

For some reason they don’t call bank robberies “undocumented withdrawals”.

;-)

Sorry, but your ‘leader’ declared Canadia to be a sanctuary state, didn’t he?

And shoplifting isn’t “Undocumented Purchases”

But failing to pay taxes is a crime

They’re NOT “migrants”.
They’re criminal, illegal, alien invaders coming into America.

if THEY ALL HAD THE SAME UNIFORM ON, WE’D LOOK LIKE A COUNTRY UNDER OCCUPATION.

There should be a road or superhighway built to solely transport illegal aliens from one border to the other, north to south and south to north. No other traffic allowed.

Alternately (or at the same time), give the illegal aliens $200-300 dollars each, to be received only after reaching a destination of their choice, but only to blue states and blue cities. The red states could fund those payments, and would save money in the long run from services they wouldn’t have to fund in their states.

How long must this thread go, before someone starts spelling Canadia correctly?

There is also an increasing flow of Canadian Christians coming south. They like Venezuelans and Cubans are sent back when caught.

We could get tips from Mexico on how to do that.
