Trudeau Hilariously Blames U.S. for His Illegal Immigration Problem

. . . 
This question is no longer limited to simply the Nigerian asylum
applicants. Canada is vast in territory, but tiny compared to the
United States when it comes to population and resources. There are
simply too many people taking advantage of their widely advertised
generosity and now the legislature wants Trudeau to do something about
it. He’s hoping to rely on the Safe Third Country Agreement (STCA),
a deal reached between the U.S. and Canada which says that asylum
seekers should petition the first safe country they arrive in for
asylum before moving on to another nation. 
But here’s the catch: the agreement only applies to migrants
presenting themselves for admission at a legal border crossing
station. It doesnt’ apply to those entering either country
illegally. And while that crossing in upstate New York may look like a
sanctioned crossing station since Canada set up trailers and help
desks to assist all the new arrivals, it’s not an actual border
crossing. The people walking across at that location are still
technically emigrating from the United States illegally. But it
remains a unique situation because the Canadians haven’t been
turning them away and we obviously have no incentive to stop them from
leaving. 
Trudeau would like the United States to alter the STCA so it also
applies to people crossing the border illegally. That way they can
turn them back in good conscience and tell them they need to apply for
refugee status in the U.S. But why would we do that? We’ve got too
many to deal with as it is. Trudeau is the one who put out the welcome
mat for the entire planet so it should be up to him to figure out how
to deal with them.
