Canada has two land borders now. Get with the times!

Why are we taking asylum seekers who entered the US and didn’t like it when there are legitimate reasons to seek asylum from the US (i.e. for LGBTQ Americans) and the needs of those people aren’t being met?
We need to build more housing, holy fuck.
An asylum seeker that jumps from one developed country to the next is no longer seeking safety, and thus should be subject to the same rules as any other immigrant.
I love how asylum seeker became an euphemism for illegal immigrant, and leftists act like its a good thing.
Seeking asylum in Canada is legal.
But illegally immigrating is not. Two different acts.
That’s why there are two different words, which are neither synonyms nor euphemisms, this story is about asylum, features stories about individuals seeking asylum and your attempt to confound the two didn’t work.
Except here, they explicitly closed the border and illegally immigrated anyway.
Nope, that’s not it, they’ve explicitly changed their behaviour to stay inside the law. It’s what the article is about, how asylum seekers are adapting their behaviour to fit inside the new changes to the safe third country agreent.
A) Asylum is legal. B) 39,000 people in a year represents a population gain of…0.001%. Horrifying.
Actually… It’s a gain of 0.1%. it’s also 9% of all new immigrants to Canada in a given year. It’s also 4x the limit of the recent H1B holders visa program for skilled immigrants who could not stay in the US.
These numbers are very low, considering how much of the global population live in political shitholes, if not war zones.
Agreed, but don’t talk about it on lemmy, nobody wants to listen.
