I thought Trump said the problem was people and drugs crossing into the US. Most of what we see is people drugs and guns being brought into Canada, I think Trump has his facts wrong yet again.

Maybe, but these people were caught coming into Canada illegally because we're paying more attention. Isn't that a useful outcome?

I think Trump needs Canada to pick up the slack/work, that they can’t do. They’re the ones that need to beef up their boarder security.

Send them home! As they say in the US. They are criminals.

It is about time. Finally Canada is doing the right thing. This may have prevented that mass shooting in Nove Scotia and in Mayerthorpe Alberta as the guns used were smuggled in from the USA. Thank you President Trump.

How did these migrants get into the USA in the first place? Seems like they need to get their act together and secure their borders. Anyone ever ask how all the south/central american migrants are getting into Canada before going into the states? Seems like a bit of a long way around to fit into a convenient narrative.

What do you bet - they'll probably be put up in a nice hotel with meals, provided medical and dental care - and of course Social Assistance - while "being processed" for asylum (an even longer wait now that the gov't is laying everybody in that department off). A nice reward for leading the cops on a chase. Welcome to Canada! A great deterrent for the next lot.
