Canadian officials are now seeing a sharp increase in the amount of refugees illegally crossing the U.S. border to avoid deportation from the U.S. In Quebec alone, the amount has tripled in the last year to 1,280 from 424.
Some who crossed into Manitoba in freezing weather have been treated for frostbite. A pregnant woman said she was afraid to deliver in the U.S. Under the U.S. - Canada pact introduced in 2004, refugees cannot make asylum claims in both countries.
As the weather gets warmer more are expected to cross into Canada.
So too put it bluntly, Canada will soon have a refugee crisis like some European countries have now.
Once again, capitalism creates problems it can't solve.
