UN Mass illegal immigration forces Justin Trudeau to back track on open borders - Is Canada getting better?

http://dailycaller.com/2017/08/05/mass-of-illegals-forces-trudeau-to-backtrack-on-open-borders/

The recent influx of illegal refugees flooding across the border into Quebec is proving to be an immigration wakeup call for Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Trudeau appeared to backtrack Fridayon his passive stance on illegal immigration, cautioning the so-called “asylum-seekers” that they should respect the border between Canada and the U.S.

So many Haitians have crossed illegally in the last month that the city opened the rarely used Olympic Stadium as a “welcome center.”

In January, following President Donald Trump’s first executive order to restrict entry to the U.S. from some Middle East countries, Trudeau tweeted out a message, “to those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canada will welcome you regardless of your faith.'”

Soon after, a flood of illegal refugees began appearing at remote crossings from Quebec to British Columbia.

Then, in February, Mayor Denis Coderre emphatically declared Montreal a sanctuary city.

Despite Coderre’s enthusiasm, Trudeau appears to have changed his tune.

“We want migration to Canada to be done in an orderly fashion; there’s border checkpoints and border controls that we need to make sure are respected,” the Prime minister said, wearing a “Sinclair” kilt from his mother’s side of the family as he talked to reporters during a photo op at the Glengarry Highland Games in Ontario.

“The people coming now irregularly will still have to go through all the proper processes.”

Trudeau said Canadian Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen would be checking into the border crossing at Lacolle, Quebec — along the New York border — to see if the immigration authorities needed any more assistance.

“We are ensuring that the capacity to deal with these refugees is in place and our immigration system remains strong and robust.”

Many of the Haitians entering Canada illegally from the U.S. are saying that they fear deportation due now the White House is considering changing the temporary protected refugee status of Haitians who came to America following the 2010 earthquake.

According to a CBC News report, many of these illegals are coming to Canada as a result of a “fake news” story featured on WhatsApp that encouraged all Haitian refugees who feared deportation to come North.

It's funny as hell. These are nations that historically never had to deal with these issues, yet had no problem lecturing us on how we were being "intolerant" and "mean". Now that they brought these complex issues willingly to their doorsteps, it has been incredibly entertaining watching them realize how impossible it is resolve these issues with pretty words or hollow slogans of tolerance.

The US is one of the most ethnically diverse nations in the world, and while we may not have perfect harmony in regards to racial co-existence, we have come a long way. The average citizen hardly cares about racial differences, and sees those that try to stir that pot as autists. Honestly, all things considered, I think we've done a real good job of integrating diverse groups, especially compared to Canada and Europe.

We did a good job because it was possible to assimilate European immigrants into a new Western society, comparable to what happened in Europe itself after the fall of the Roman Empire and Dark Ages, except with invasions. It's impossible to assimilate most present-day immigrants in Western countries without turning into a Latin American hellhole where you have barbed wire around your house and get mugged the second you step out onto the street.

More bad news for the Liberal government: more than half of Canadians believe the federal government is too generous

September 1, 2017 – In the wake of a new wave of asylum seekers crossing the border in search of permanent residency, more than half of Canadians say this country is being “too generous” towards those coming in through irregular channels.

Since July 1, more than 7,000 people have walked across the border into Quebec to make asylum claims.

Now, a new public opinion poll from the Angus Reid Institute finds 53 per cent of Canadians of the opinion the country’s approach is too giving – more than eight times as many as those who say Canada is not being “generous enough”.

Asked to weigh in on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s public statements about Canada welcoming refugees while also discouraging irregular border crossings, slightly more than half of Canadians (54%) say the PM’s messaging has been “unclear,” and a majority (57%) disapprove of the Trudeau government’s handling of the situation overall.

In general, this poll has found that Canadians believe that border security is much more important, with four-fifths of respondents agreeing.

Preference for border monitoring dwarfs desire for assistance
Much of the debate over illegal arrivals to Canada revolves around the allocation of resources. Should Canada be more focused on helping these people once they arrive? Or on discouraging them from coming in the first place?

These two priorities remain as polarizing as they were when the Angus Reid Institute first asked Canadians about them in April of this year. Eight-in-ten (82%) say that assigning police, immigration officers and technology to monitor the border is an important or a major priority, up from 74 per cent in April. This, compared to fewer than half (47%) who say the same about settling new arrivals in Canada and providing them with the assistance they need:

Further, seven-in-ten prefer security and stemming the flow of asylum seekers crossing irregularly over providing medical, housing and other assistance to them:

These views are consistent across all regions of the country, (see comprehensive tables for greater detail), but opinion differs by age.

In general Canadians have found Trudeau himself to have directly contributed to the problem, if not actually being it's chief cause.

Is the PM’s message clear?
Many asylum seekers have referenced Canada’s reputation as an open, diverse, and welcoming society as their reason for choosing to come here. Some of the people crossing the border, in fact, have cited Trudeau’s welcoming rhetoric as their reason for attempting to come to Canada.

The Prime Minister has consistently encouraged this perception of Canada, most famously when he tweeted a welcoming message to refugees on the same day that the Trump administration began its first attempt at banning residents of several majority-Muslim countries from entering the United States.

After criticism from political opponents, amid the rising number of illegal refugee crossings, Trudeau has amended his message somewhat, tweeting that although Canada is an open and welcoming society, “we are also a country of laws”.

Asked whether they believe the Prime Minister’s messaging on this issue has been clear or unclear, Canadians are split. Just over half (54%) say Trudeau has been unclear about Canada’s position when it comes to asylum seekers crossing the border. The remaining 46 per cent say the PM’s message has been clear.

57% of Canadians strongly disapprove of the Trudeau government's handling of the issue, and when asked if the problem will grow, 68% percent agreed. Tellingly, even people who approved of the government's approach think more will be coming.

This poll represents a further hardening of attitudes from the Ipsos-Reid poll I shared earlier. The two polls seem to indicate that rather remove immigration barriers, Canadians want even more border security.

This has been going on since the early 2000's. Trudeau did not ''cause'' this, it was actually Jean Chretien that allowed this loop hole to stay wide open when the safe third country act was created.

Nothing new. It's just because of smart phones and social media are we actually able to see it more. In 2003 we heard about it a lot but the CBC just refused to do stories on it (or any illegal immigration for that matter).

False. We have always had to deal with. We have also had to deal with overly inflated immigration rates since the late 80's where we have over 300,000 people coming into Canada per year but only a small area for them to go as most want to live in Toronto. A lot of these people can not find jobs anymore and the cost of housing has gone through the roof because of such mass influx and not enough infrastructure.

I don't think anyone in Canada, apart from Justin Trudeau, has made a statement about the U.S being intolerant or unwelcoming.

But when Drumpfinator's "intolerance" leads to them flooding north up to Canada, suddenly Canadians are like "whoa we don't want these useless fuckers either!"

Canada's more than welcome to our illegal huddled masses yearning to be free. They can virtue signal til the cows come home.
