The Globe and Mail – Two Tory MPs Call on Ottawa to Stop Illegal Canada-U.S. Border Crossing
Two Conservative MPs are calling on the federal government to act to stop the flow of people illegally crossing the United States border into Canada. Michelle Rempel and Tony Clement tweeted on Sunday that illegal crossings are unsafe and place a burden on local law enforcement. […] Montreal immigration lawyer Eric Taillefer said the easiest way to stop the illegal border crossings is to suspend the Safe Third Country Agreement and allow people to request refugee status at official border crossings. […] As for Rempel and Clement’s comments, Taillefer suggested the tougher rules implemented under former Conservative prime minister Stephen Harper may have contributed to the current problem by making it more difficult for refugees to enter the country lawfully.

CBC – Refugee Claims at Canada-U.S Border have Doubled Over Past 2 Years
The number of refugee claims made at the border has more than doubled over the past two years, surging to 7,023 in 2016, according to the Canada Border Services Agency.

[…] Wilders, who was convicted in December of inciting discrimination after leading an anti-Moroccan chant at a political rally in 2014, has vowed to end Muslim immigration and shutter the country’s mosques if elected prime minister in a general election on March 15.
Washington Post – Don’t Ignore the Health Impact of Immigration Policy
The average person who has a marginal understanding of immigration policy might quickly dismiss the extent of the health impact that immigration policy can have on people. But a growing body of evidence details that the stress of these policies severely affects the well-being of Hispanics, and this is not just limited to immigrants at risk of being deported. Immigrants living here legally and even Latinos born in the United States experience high levels of stress due to strict policy environments — and that comes with tangible effects.
Hamilton Spectator – “Left with No Options:” U.S. Somalis not Surprised Many Refugees Eyeing Canada
Members of the largest Somali community in the United States say they’re not surprised to see a growing number of asylum seekers braving the elements to illicitly enter Canada. They say it is a symptom of the contrast between President Donald Trump’s hardline views on immigration and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s welcoming tone. “Sometimes when you’re left with no options and you’re looking for a better life for yourself, people do take risks,” said Mohamud Noor, executive director of the Confederation of Somali Community in Minnesota. “It will increase rather than decrease … This is not going to reduce.”
