Nine asylum-seekers, including four children, barely made it across the Canadian border on Friday as a U.S. border patrol officer tried to stop them and a Reuters photographer captured the scene.
As a U.S. Customs and Border Patrol officer seized their passports and questioned a man in the front passenger seat of a taxi that had pulled up to the border in Champlain, New York, four adults and four young children fled the cab and ran to Royal Canadian Mounted Police on the other side.
One by one they scrambled across the snowy gully separating the two countries. RCMP officers watching from the other side helped them up, lifting the younger children and asking a woman, who leaned on her fellow passenger as she walked, if she needed medical care.
The children looked back from where they had come as the U.S. officer held the first man, saying his papers needed to be verified.
The man turned to a pile of belongings and heaved pieces of luggage two at a time into the gully -- enormous wheeled suitcases, plastic shopping bags, a black backpack.
"Nobody cares about us," he told journalists. He said they were all from Sudan and had been living and working in Delaware for two years.

What a nice story to read and to start my Saturday morning.
This story went well with my morning coffee!
Muzzies or Mexxies? Either way, our gain is Canada’s loss.
How did a photographer get there so fast?
Sloppy border crossing.
C-
Canada asked for it - let’s see how it pans out for them.....
Sudan Muslims, so sad to see them go.
Great he’ll be walking the streets soon here in Toronto.
Then all of the sudden a wall between the US and Canada will sound like a good idea.
Maybe we should do what Mexico does. Anybody crossing our southern border is welcome to continue on to cross our northern border. But if they stop here, they get deported.
Probably Sudanese Muslims......illegal, so the passports probably weren’t US. Probably here on overstayed visas, or just here outright illegally. As one said “nobody wants us.,” Yes, he/she is right. I am glad Canada made the mistake of letting them in. Just 8 more illegals we don’t have to deal with.
I’m glad Canada is willing to do it. No more problems for US. They’ll get this visited back upon them 10 or 20 thousand times and THEY can deal with the cost to support them......
I’m guessing the US agents didn’t try too hard to stop them, frankly......
I think we should install those “one-way out turnstiles” for them at the Canadian border.....anybody can exit through one, can’t return without completely vetted credentials.
a) Criminal impersonation and identity theft
b) Voting fraud
c) Welfare fraud
d) Other Criminal Liability
e) All of the above
Don’t worry, your Prime Minister, bastard son of Fidel Castro will protect you and your family.
“Nine asylum-seekers, including four children, barely made it across the Canadian border on Friday as a U.S. border patrol officer tried to stop them and a Reuters photographer captured the scene.”
Excellent. They are Canada’s problem now. Enjoy, our brothers to the North.
For me the best part of the story after our tragic loss of 8 illegals (sarc). Is the the US border patrol, instead of being vindictive, took the luggage to the border so that they wouldn’t loose all their belongings. It was the Christian thing to do. Canada, good luck..........
of course, a Reuters reporter and camera man JUST happened to be present....
Muzzies or Mexxies? Either way, our gain is Canada’s loss.
Quote from the runner: “He said they were all from Sudan and had been living and working in Delaware for two years.”
Let’s try to get them all to leave, north or south, who cares?
I wonder how/why they ended up in the US to begin with?
“How did a photographer get there so fast?

Had to be a setup by the mediots on the Canadian side or ours or both.
It will be interesting to see what ICE finds in their business, home and social media contacts.
