Say these words with contemplation: "I am from the US and I seek asylum in your country"

[Stinky The Clown]

Those words are now being said by a trickle of people going over the northern border to Canada. That trickle will quite likely grow as this inhumane administration makes life increasingly uncomfortable for those who did what so many millions did before them - sought asylum here.

Canada-U.S. border the final frontier for those seeking refuge

SAINT-BERNARD-DE-LACOLLE, QUE.—Security officials scrambled on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border Monday morning when two men, a young woman and an infant made their way to the busiest hole in the frontier.

On the American side, the group was flagged to the U.S. Border Patrol. Agents intervened and brought them in for questioning and verifications to ensure that they were legally in the country, said Norman Lague, an officer with the agency.

When they passed the inspection, the group loaded their three backpacks, the baby’s diaper bag, a stroller and car seat into a silver taxi van and continued along Roxham Road, a dusty dead-end street, on their way to Canada.

It is a version of the scenario that happens now several times a day — every day — here near the Quebec town of Saint-Bernard-de-Lacolle — a taxi arrives, a family emerges, luggage is hauled across a border that is nothing more than a ditch, the RCMP arrests the asylum seekers, and takes them to be processed into an already overloaded system.

2. It should be noted that these "people fleeing the U.S" are immigrants...

...from other countries who have decided that trying to get permanent asylum status here are now futile.

What happens when Canada is confronted by U.S. citizens making the same political-asylum claim???
