MONTREAL – A Montreal-based advocate for asylum seekers says Canada should expect a new wave of Haitians trying to enter from the United States after a court decision allowing the Trump administration to end legal protections for migrants fleeing violence and natural disasters in Haiti and Syria.
Frantz André says he knows of several people who are making the journey north from the United States after learning of the U.S. Supreme Court decision that exposes hundreds of thousands of people to potential detention and deportation.

André says some of the new arrivals will be allowed to stay and file an asylum claim because they have close family in Canada.

But he says the rest will likely be turned over to U.S. authorities where they could be detained and deported back to countries where they face dangers.
A lawyer with Amnesty International Canada says the court decision is another example of why the United States should not be considered a safe country for asylum seekers.
Julia Sande says Canada should withdraw from a key refugee agreement that allows it to turn back asylum seekers who enter from the U.S. on the grounds that country is safe.

HERE’S PROOF, WE TAKE ANY and ALL GAR B AGE !!!
KEEP THESE F / ERS OUT OF CANADA !!! THIS IS T R A S H COMING INTO CANADA, WITH ZERO TO OFFER BUT CRIME
No thanks
Canada cant afford to pay it’s bills as it is
Only fools.pay rhe neighbour’s mortgage when they cant.afford to pay theor own
Canada is full!!!
Montreal needs more French speaking N words
No thanks, we don’t need anymore.
And more Haitians and others come to Canada for safer life yet bring the same issues with them.
Do canada a favor and chuck off
Get the f out and take the Liberals with you.
Canada’s borders are closed.
Go back to f-ing Haiti
The states are getting rid of them for a reason, we shouldn’t be taking them in.
That is what we need more of in Canada, criminals entering Canada and then we will have to pay to send them all back once they get caught breaking OUR LAWS. Haiti is known for crime. ” Yes, Haiti is currently known for severe, widespread violent crime, with armed gangs controlling an estimated 80% to 90% of the capital city, Port-au-Prince. The country is considered highly dangerous due to extreme political instability and a collapse of state authority.”
This is not the first time this has happened. It happened during Trump’s first term as well with people fleeing the US for Canada.
Repeatedly, Canada becomes the ‘default’ rescue destination for those seeking to improve their lives. Based on online comments, among those lining up for rescue are UK and US citizens.
We have been flooded with asylum seekers for more than a decade, many of them destitute.
I am not unsympathetic. But, at the same time, I can see the homeless huddled on the sidewalk, begging for change, in my Canadian city. I can see the steadily increasing unemployment in Canada, especially among unskilled workers. Hundreds struggle to find affordable accommodation or a family doctor to provide entry to health care.
Our resources are already stretched to provide for those who already invited themselves into Canada…plus Canadians dealing with an increased cost-of-living, US economic pressure, and employment challenges.
How many are we – as a relatively small country – expected to rescue? At what cost? Many of our own citizens cannot find work or homes or the services they need for themselves and their families.
Are we ever allowed to say “enough” or “sorry – our emergency shelters are already full to overflowing, our food banks unable to keep up with demand, and our provincial budgets operating in the red.”
As our current PM has already acknowledged, Canada cannot rescue the world. Nor can we resolve issues created by the current US administration.
Haitians belong to Haiti, NOT Canada!
Good. We need foreigners from different countries, not just one country….
Here’s an idea. Let’s have all the Haitians live in Haiti. That was easy.
We take all the garbage
Canada cant even pay.its bills let alone support people who are not here because they love the country and what it has to offer but because its a convenient place to hide
Sorry,we’re closed.
Maybe try again in a decade or so.
Thanks,
Canada
