I have warned that there will be an exodus of migrants fleeing the United States for Canada in the wake of Trump’s presidency. The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada said that the sheer volume of asylum seekers has spiked to the highest on record, with the number of cases rising from 60,000 annually to 200,000. New figures state that Canadian taxpayers are now on the hook for $16 BILLION per year to fund Trudeau’s open borders.
The average processing time per asylum seeker was once 14 months, but due to the uptick in cases, it now takes about 44 months for one person to be processed. Deputy Chair of the Refugee Protection Division, Roula Eatrides admitted that 70% of the agency’s inventory is around a year old. The extended wait time has provided those who do not qualify for asylum status additional time to linger in Canada.
“The refugee program was never supposed to be a backdoor entry into our country to get a work permit. It was supposed to be there to help those that were fleeing persecution, that had an act of war in their country of origin, and that wanted to save their lives,” said Conservative MP Arpan Khanna. “Marc Miller himself acknowledges that most of these cases are likely going to be fake asylum claims for folks whose statuses are expiring but want to stay in this country,” said Khanna.
Khanna said Trudeau is the “bad actor” that he has blamed for the nation’s migrant crisis The costs to fund these migrants is simply astronomical. Conservative MP Lianne Rood launched an inquiry over the spring that found taxpayers were forced to pay $224 DAILY to fund the newcomers, a price that will only rise as more migrants reach the Canadian border.
The Canadian government spends about $140 daily on shelter accommodations and $84 on food and other expenses. Liberals created the Interim Housing Assistance Program to house anyone who enters Canada legally or illegally, and those 3,800 rooms were said to have cost $557 million annually as of November 2023. That program was intended to be temporary and fails to provide even a fraction of the space needed. Then the taxpayers are also on the hook for healthcare and legal costs. The public offices catering to the migrants must also receive their pay.
New data has revealed that costs per asylum seeker have rose to $81,760 annually. In comparison, the average Canadian earned over $11,000 less per year. If the 200,000 people registering for asylum are granted permission to stay, the total bill will reach $16.35 ( billion) annually and counting.
Trudeau uses taxpayer money to pay 75% of the wages of any of them that are working
Welcome to the party pal
these politicians who spend our tax dollars on illegal invaders need to be prosecuted

Yes, the refugee program was created in the wake of Jews running from Hitler and being turned back, straight into gas chambers.
Then to protect people running away from murderous communists regimes.
But now, it is becoming a popular way to skirt immigration lines.
Just show up and claim asylum.
After few years of waiting, you skip the hearing.
When they get you, you claim that you established yourself and you have family, citizen children, etc.
Dear Secretary-General of the United Nations:
I, Donald J. Trump, the President of the United States, on behalf of the United States, do denounce the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol, as permitted by Article 44.
Donald J. Trump
The Refugee Convention, the invaders’ red carpet, must be removed from the Democratic Party toolbox by invoking Article 44, by sending a letter, yup, a single sheet of paper, to the Secretary-General of the United Nations.
It takes a year after receipt for the denunciation to become effective.
If my waning memory serves me correctly, I think Canada doesn’t have ONE functioning warship on it’s West Coast.
This 16 billion blown away on “ILLEGALS” could have bought about 4-8 niiiiiiiiiicccccccccceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee warships.
If all these countries...including us....wants to just open up the borders and let anyone in...then ok. But that doesn’t mean taxpayers should have to pay for them. Open up the gates and say come on in...but you’ll receive $0 help. That would put a stop to this crap.
Yeah but then some British lesbian would drive the ship 🚢 into Saskatchewan, so....
🤣😀😂🤣
Is that all? We have several million more we can send to help.
Reminds me of the old joke: ‘There is no Canadian navy. There’s just a bunch of guys from the army who know how to swim.’
Our clown in charge can’t even stop a postal strike, or get passports out of a 90,000 backlog.
If they say 16 B the real number is 100 B.
America throws away $200 billion a year giving free k-12 to illegal kids in violation of federal law. Plus they get free healthcare at ERs and collect welfare. Total cost? Somewhere around $500 billion.
