If the Left is misinforming immigrants, be it illegal immigrants, and they are leaving the safe haven of the US for elsewhere, isn’t that a good thing? – PB/TK
The Left’s Misinformation Campaign Has More Asylum Seekers Attempting To Illegally Cross Into Canada – by Andrea Ruth February 20, 2017
Rural Canadian border towns have recently seen a spike in illegal crossings of immigrants from the U.S. since Donald Trump took office. This weekend another twenty-two were caught and detained by the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA).
They’re reasoning seems rather peppered with alarmist thinking not based in reality or with any knowledge of how the Safe Third Country Agreement works. The agreement states that “refugee claimants are required to request refugee protection in the first safe country they arrive in, unless they qualify for an exception.” The U.S. is considered a safe country for refugees.
According to those attempting to cross, they claim that they are fearful for their safety and future in the U.S. since Trump signed an executive order that put a temporary ban on travelers entering the country from seven countries.
Immigration advocates in Canada want the U.S. taken off the “Safe Country” list. Everyone’s response to that bit of ridiculousness is, not safe compared to what?
