National Post: Canada will soon have more illegal border crossers than Syrian refugees
The number of illegal border crossers in Canada will soon surpass the 25,000 Syrian refugees Canada accepted in 2016
There are so many Mounties needed to process illegal border crossings in rural Quebec that the federal government is now spending $250,000 to build an unofficial police station on the U.S. border. In Toronto last week, Mayor John Tory announced that the number of refugee claimants in the city’s shelter system has quadrupled from 459 per night in 2016 to an average of 2,351 in 2018. And at least one Quebec politician is calling for a border fence with the U.S.
These are just some of the repercussions of the more than 20,000 illegal border crossings into Canada since early 2017, all of them made by foreign nationals seeking asylum. With the influx expected to grow even bigger this summer, here are the details of Canada’s ongoing migrant crisis.

WNU Editor: Last summer the mayor of Montreal was boasting that there were 50,000 undocumented/illegal migrants living on the island of Montreal, and because of that his municipal government made Montreal a sanctuary city. The numbers have exploded since then .... and it is very evident from where I live that contrary to government claims that they are controlling the situation .... they are not. I had to take my mother for her annual blood test yesterday morning .... a simple process of going to the clinic in the hospital, spending a few minutes .... and then we are out. Yesterday .... there over 60 people ahead of us .... and one can tell by their clothes, language, and unfamiliarity on how things are done and difficulty in understanding french or english .... that most of them were new arrivals. End result .... a normal 10 to 15 minute process took over two hours. I can only imagine what the strain is like on the other parts of the health care system. I do not expect the Trudeau government will change anything. They want to use this as a wedge issue in the next political campaign .... and that is more important to them than addressing this crisis. But I do not know if it is going to work. Last year the mayor of Montreal continually boasted on how welcome the city was to these migrants .... but much to his surprise and to the media's shock .... he and his political party was roundly defeated in the last election.
