plommer Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 the U.S. is not alone in having people streaming across its borders https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2017/02/20/canada-us-border-the-final-frontier-for-refugee-seekers.html https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Saint-Bernard-de-Lacolle,+QC/@44.8855224,-74.1329663,9z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x4cc983c859a34f51:0x4f8aea0748e3b5f2!8m2!3d45.0577003!4d-73.4689923 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.
