Canada struggles with refugee surge from US

[Common]

Struggles ? @Common Sense cmon you canadians love the refugee's right? Trudeau told them we will welcome you all with open arms, isnt that sweet NOW PAY FOR THEM.

Oh and tell your Premier hes not a hero with a few thousand, not untio you absord a few million and the costs involved.

Soldiers busily assemble tents with wooden floors, lighting and heating in Canada's Quebec province near the US border to temporarily house a surge in asylum seekers from the United States.Children run between rows and rows of the military green tents as their parents line up to speak with immigration officials and file refugee claims.
Throughout the day, school buses drop off dozens of people at a time at the makeshift tent city in Saint-Bernard-de-Lacolle, Quebec. They walked across the border with suitcases in hand, before being picked up by federal police who deliver them here.
Eventually, the newcomers will be transferred to Montreal or a government facility in Ontario province where officials will help them find more suitable accommodations while their claims are considered.
Security prevented media from speaking to any of the tent city residents.
Most of the new arrivals are Haitians who face expulsion from the United States at the end of the year. Then, temporary asylum granted to 60,000 Haitians affected by a devastating 2010 earthquake is due to expire.
Their numbers have soared from about 400 in May to 3,800 in the first weeks of August.
Under a Canada-US agreement, asylum seekers travelling through the United States would be turned away at Canadian border checkpoints, and told to file a refugee claim in the United States.
But that rule does not apply to people who reach Canadian soil unchecked, through backwoods.
- Irregular border crossings surge -
The Canada-US border is the longest between any countries in the world. There are no fences along the vast stretches of dense forests and mountainous terrain, and security is relatively low.
Those who bypass border checkpoints to enter are detained by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, but they are assured an opportunity to file a refugee claim in Canada.
The military was sent in to help set up a camp near the border at the beginning of August, then a second and a third, to accomodate newcomers who have made the journey.
Border, police and immigration staffing have also been increased to handle the influx

I am delighted. We need to help all 30 million illegal aliens in the US get into Canada.

I'm glad someone else is struggling with the 'surge' for once......or, was it 'scurge?'

I still find it fascinating that Americans would wish for their closest ally to experience trouble...

At any rate, I will keep saying that this will likely be considered for the immigration equation. X amount of the percentage of the predicted refugee allotment for 2018 will factor in people trying to escape the United States. The only reason it is a problem right now is that it was not fully anticipated or factored into the equation that is used. The numbers are not reaching a point that Canada won't be able to handle it, but it may take awhile since Canada didn't take it seriously that people would be fleeing the United States or through the United States.

It is karma. Canada chides is for wanting to protect our borders. But keeps its own people secured.

Right. Canada looked to the American people to buffer it from its idiocy. We need to help illegals here become illegals there.

Biggest bait and switch in history the way they f ucked Germany with this. "We need to look after the poor children of Syria."... Have a million men from all over the islamic world, never mind the gang raping, we'll just cover it up, silence you and scream racist.

Poor Germans.

No one id doing that, we are just gloating at the people who preached "compassion" and told us how we ought to be doing things, now has a chance to show us, just how it's done.

It aint no fun when the rabbit has the gun!

Adelalaide, blame your Prime Minister, he criticized trump he criticized our immigration policy and trumps new policy and said QUOTE. We welcome refugees to canada we will welcome them with open arms and apparently isolate them and stick them in tents.

Its easy to criticize and run your mouth about what others do, until YOU GOTTA DO IT
