Trump’s victory didn’t just ruin the celebration plans of Kamala and Doug, but that of the countless illegal aliens headed for the border to celebrate four more years of open borders.
Some illegal aliens are calling off the invasion.
Migrants are abandoning a caravan headed for the United States because Donald Trump’s election win has dashed their “dream of getting out”.
The caravan, which began earlier this week in southern Mexico, included approximately 3,000 migrants seeking asylum or economic opportunities in the U.S.
However, as news of the President Elect’s victory reached their phones, many decided to turn back, fearing deportation.Trump has vowed to initiate a mass deportation program during his next term in the White House.
What about those already in America? During the previous administration, some (a relatively small number of the total) headed to Canada. Even thousands out of millions created quite a headache for Canada.
Now, Canada is preparing for a surge of illegal aliens from America.
Canadian police and migrant aid groups are bracing for an influx of asylum-seekers fleeing President-elect Donald Trump’s United States at the same time Canada deals with record numbers of refugee claimants and is trying to bring in fewer immigrants.
Canadian police have been preparing for months, said Royal Canadian Mounted Police Sergeant Charles Poirier on Thursday.
“We knew a few months ago that we had to start prepping a contingency plan because if he comes into power, which now he will in a few months, it could drive illegal migration and irregular migration into (the province of) Quebec and into Canada,” he told Reuters.
“Worst-case scenario would be people crossing in large numbers everywhere on the territory. … Let’s say we had 100 people per day entering across the border, then it’s going to be hard because our officers will basically have to cover huge distances in order to arrest everyone.”
Or Canada could stop offering asylum to every illegal alien who crosses the border. For that, Canada would also need a different government.
Police are on “high alert,” Poirier said, prepared to deploy additional resources to patrol the border. Depending what happens that could mean hundreds more officers. It could also mean more cruisers, chartering buses, building trailers and renting land.
“All eyes are on the border right now. … We were on high alert, I can tell you, a few days before the election, and we’ll probably remain on alert for the next coming weeks.”
And hopefully for the next four years.
“When you don’t create legitimate pathways, or when you only create pathways where people have to do the impossible to receive safety, you know, unfortunately, people are going to try to do the impossible,” said Abdulla Daoud, director of The Refugee Centre in Montreal, which provides services.
Daoud added that ahead of a likely influx, now is the time for Canada to invest in its asylum infrastructure to better support and process people who make refugee claims there.
Or in big border fences to keep Jihadist refugees out and Canadians safe.
