Eight 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.
The RCMP declined on Friday to confirm the nationalities of the people. A Reuters photo showed that at least one of their passports was Sudanese.
The man then appeared to grab their passports from the U.S. officer before making a run for the border. The officer yelled and gave chase but stopped at the border marker. Canadian police took hold of the man's arm as he crossed.
The border patrol officer told his counterpart that the man was in the United States illegally...

I have a picture in my mind of the border cop cleaning his finger nails while quietly saying; “Stop. Oh, stop.”
Why are Africans that have asylum in the US running to Canada for asylum ? Send them back to Africa

Canada at this point, deserves them. Not our job to police Canadian Borders.
Staged
Sure. Because every group of illegals travels with its own Reuters photographer.
Better yet, google her complete name, and click on the "images" tab. Heh, heh. (You must be over 18, however.)
Looks staged, Rooters fake news. Canuckistan, you can pay to return them. Don’t bring them back here.
“This is supposed to be a ‘appy occasion, let’s not argue about ‘oo deported ‘oo....”
good....Canada needs to take all the muzzies and especially the Somalians......afterall, they are a wonderful liberal paradise with free money and health care to give away....
Good, this is the exact image we need to show the entire world. Do NOT come here if you are an illegal. We will hunt you down.
We need to instill fear into ALL the illegal parasites.
After the illegals are all kicked out, we need to go further and proceed to instill fear into the remaining leftist dirt bags and force them out as well.
More like ‘Stop, eh?’’.
8? And this is news?
Wow, a porn star, explains the name.
The thing looks completely staged because it was. They knew in advance where the Border Patrol parks to observe the border. If the agent had overreacted it would have been an even better story.
Right on. I saw another segment on the Canadian television of "casual" reporters supposedly scouting the area. They saw a man kneeling in the snow. Then followed the kindly, supportive, decent approach of various persons.
The joker for me up here in Canada is what happened in Emerson, Alberta. thid crossing point about two years ago. A young native Indian woman went public because of a policy of the town's main restaurant. She said she was asked to put money up at the counter BEFORE having her meal. True, one could concede it was distressing.
All politically correct hell broke loose. Reporters charging in and raising their consternation. The restaurant had been afflicted with "dine and dash", by natives from the local reservation. The restaurant wanted monies up front first. The police cannot go in the reservation after them for this kind of thing( as far as I know). The restaurant was losing it's shirt. What a shabby and mean trick! Worse than taking goods off a shelf. The work put in to prepare a meal and so on.
A bit of a rant, but I just had to put it down.
Well, very good
the less Sudaneese trash the better
Off of the US taxpayers teat and onto the Canadian. Works for me.
I hope they can squeeze in four more Kenyans..
We here in Canada are so screwed. With that bleeding heart punk Trudeau in charge this trickle of border jumpers will become a flood when the weather warms. This “open borders” news will spread through the illegals community like a wildfire in a California canyon. All Trump has to do is hand out leaflets in Spanish and other foreign languages setting out the benefits available in Canada and quoting Trudeau’s empathy, and offer free one way bus tickets going north. America’s win will be Canada’s loss.
I wonder if they can get their welfare checks mailed to Canada?
almost certainly orchestrated for photo-op purposes
My thoughts exactly!!! Rueters on the scene?? ha...
