Illegal Canadians just cross the peace bridge and melt in. It's estimated there are over 1 million living and working in the US. The ones from other countries just fly to Canada and cross the border at irregular areas, not at regular crossings.

That was not my experience while working at Blaine POE as a CBP officer. Did you just make this up?

You do know that Canadians can apply for TN visa to work in the US, right? Why would they choose the illegal route while they have many legal options?

Do you honestly believe citizens from a wealthy country like Canada living & working illegally in the US for low wage jobs (obviously you are not going to have a high paying job if you are an illegal )?

My experience with “illegal” Canadians are Canadian retired snowbirds who overstay their 6 months B2 visa when they are vacationing in warm climate US states

1 million vs 12 million from south of our border? Why would you even make such a comparison? Nope, most illegal aliens here are border jumpers. They didn't fly anywhere to get here.

You'd know the truth better than anyone but they still make false statements. It's just their usual desperation to call attention away from the millions here illegally from south of our border and to defend them for doing so. Retirees who came through our northern border aren't looking for jobs. At any rate, visa over stayers from anywhere or no matter which border they came through must be deported right along with the border jumpers.

We don't need any more.
I highly doubt there are 1 million illegal canadians (canada population is about 35 mil) living permanently in the US.

Maybe whoever created that stats also included retired canadian snowbirds who decided to give themselves extended stay in addition to their 6 month B2 to avoid the snow up north

Can you believe the gall and racism of some people? How can any country's majority demographics since it's founding have too many of them? That makes no sense at all. Do Mexico and Central America have too many Hispanics in them? Does China or Japan have too many Asians living in them? Just when you think you have heard all the ridiculous statements another one takes the cake!

And who in the heck has ever said that we should only deport illegals from south of our border but not those from Canada or anywhere else? Unbelievable!

This forum seems to have a lot of immigration judges as members.

Mexico is a decade away from reaching the level of very high human development index. They are currently on the high end of high, which is above above medium, low and very low. Yet they still spew in our faces that Mexico is such a terrible place for asylum seekers to wait. That doesn’t even include their screeching about what Trump said about Mexicans.

Liberals 2016: What a monster Trump is for saying what he said about Mexicans, calling them criminals and rapists.
Liberals 2017: Let’s get those Caravans coming up here with more illegals even though young girls are getting raped along the journey at a 50% rate.
Liberals 2019: Mexico is to dangerous for asylum seekers, because it is clear they will all be victimized by criminals and rapists.
2020: Trump will be re-elected

But later on Friday, the same court temporarily paused its own order, granting an emergency request filed by Trump administration lawyers who rushed to defend the controversial Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) program. "
""A federal appeals court" I love how some like to jump on these things as some grandiose ruling, when it was only 3 judges out of 29 were involved and the vote was a 2-1. Wanna guess the party of the 2?

Another poor attempt to hijack a thread.

When the NORTH order becomes a problem any where near the South border is, appropriate measure WILL be taken!
