Canada raises asylum seekers influx with Minnesota governor

Canada's public safety minister raised concerns on Monday with Minnesota's state governor about an unauthorized influx of thousands of asylum seekers into Canada this year.

Nearly 3,500 people have walked into Canada from the United States from January through May, according to government data, crossing the border through fields, forests and ditches to avoid official ports of entry where they would be turned back under a bilateral agreement. Once on Canadian soil, asylum seekers, many of whom are of Somali and Ghanaian origin, are each entitled to a hearing.

While Canadians have assisted many stranded or freezing border-crossers, some have also worried about safety, and the fairness of asylum seekers entering Canada without permission.

"The problem has not gone away and we need to fully figure out why this is happening and we need a full effort on both sides to make sure that we're doing everything we possibly can do for the integrity of the border," Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale said in an interview, after meeting with Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton. more....

Let me get this right. We have immigrants sneaking out of the US. They're illegal immigrants if they come into the US but asylum seekers if they're going to Canada. Canada wants to secure it's borders against this migration but it's bad if the US does. Canada is allowed to turn them back but Democrats object to turning them back here.

And not one Hollywood personality in the frigging bunch who promised to go.

And to think these "asylum seekers" are fleeing Al Franken's state. Can't say I personally blame them.

WAIT a minute here babalooey !! Didn't Canada extend a warm welcome to all immigrants when the President issued his first travel ban ?? They claimed they were the "haven" for all and the US was "evil"....sure I read that....Canada is another country that bad mouths the US yet lives under the US military umbrella. Just like NATO who,finally is on the "carpet" to get in the game.

Canada was hoping for Hollyweed refugees and all their money.
