You know we are con­stantly being told that if we stop ille­gal immi­gra­tion we will hurt our econ­omy hor­ri­bly, that ille­gal immi­gra­tion brings wealth and pros­per­ity with it, how ille­gal immi­grants do the jobs that Amer­i­can won’t do, pay taxes and add to the great­ness and rich­ness of America

That being the case I guess Canada should be look­ing for­ward to a new Golden Age of pros­per­ity!

Jean-​Pierre Fortin, pres­i­dent of the Cus­toms and Immi­gra­tion Union, said he believes there are more ille­gal cross­ings tak­ing place than offi­cials are aware of. One port in Que­bec has expe­ri­enced a par­tic­u­larly large num­ber of asylum-​seekers and ille­gal immi­grants — the Saint Bernard Lecolle in the small town of Emer­son, Man­i­toba, just out­side of Mon­tréal. Fortin said that last week alone, at least 200 immi­grants entered the coun­try ille­gally near the Lecolle port. He said the influx began in Novem­ber 2016 — the month Don­ald Trump was elected president.

And appar­ently cold weather and snow aren’t stop­ping them

At least 450 peo­ple crossed ille­gally in Jan­u­ary and Feb­ru­ary, despite bit­ter cold that usu­ally dis­cour­ages such traf­fic, gov­ern­ment offi­cials said. In all of last year, the total was 2,400

In fact we can already see signs of the jobs and pros­per­ity beginning!

Fortin says to prop­erly pro­tect the bor­der from ille­gal cross­ings — those not done at offi­cial ports of entry — his union would like to see the gov­ern­ment rein­state 1,053 jobs cut by the pre­vi­ous gov­ern­ment. He would also like to see the gov­ern­ment change its pol­icy so bor­der offi­cers can chase any­one who crosses with­out going through a port of entry. He says right now CBSA has to call in the RCMP. “We’re not even allowed to chase them,” Fortin said. “The RCMP doesn’t have the resources and what we’re ask­ing the gov­ern­ment at this point in time, we want to make sure that we should be clos­ing that gap. We should have bor­der guards actu­ally patrolling these [areas].”

Well that would cer­tainly mean jobs and pros­per­ity for those laid off bor­der agents. And pretty soon they’ll be ben­e­fits for all!

“Now we have (mostly) sin­gle peo­ple com­ing across. We will have fam­i­lies and we will have many peo­ple com­ing across when the weather improves.” Refugee claimants must wait 30 days before they can apply for a work per­mit and some gov­ern­ment ben­e­fits. Until then, they are given shel­ter and other help by non-​profit agencies.

In fact there is so much pros­per­ity on the way com­ing from all over…

In B.C., there has been a 60-​per-​cent increase in the num­ber of refugee claimants in the last 12 months com­pared to the pre­vi­ous one-​year period. Most are Iraqi Kurds and Afghans, and there were also 18 undoc­u­mented Latin Amer­i­cans from Guatemala, Hon­duras and Venezuela who recently crossed the Canada-U.S. bor­der, immi­gra­tion agen­cies said. The num­ber of Mex­i­can claimants is also start­ing to rise in B.C

…that the Cana­dian cab­i­net is meet­ing over it!

Fed­eral cab­i­net min­is­ters are set for an in-​depth dis­cus­sion this week of the prac­ti­cal and polit­i­cal pres­sures being placed on the Lib­eral gov­ern­ment by a ris­ing num­ber of asy­lum seek­ers in Canada.

Doubt­less the cab­i­net is meet­ing to dis­cuss what to do with all this pros­per­ity that has already come and is coming.

Bor­der secu­rity, RCMP and immi­gra­tion offi­cials have been run­ning sce­nar­ios to pre­pare for the pos­si­bil­ity that a rel­a­tive win­ter trickle of ille­gal immi­gra­tion into Canada could turn into a spring flood.

Watch for the omens, as soon as the snow melts a new Golden Age of pros­per­ity will flow into Canada!

I’m sure our north­ern neigh­bors are very pleased but even more pleased will be cele­breaties from the south, upset over the recent elec­tion and the enforce­ment of immi­gra­tion law in the US. All of this means when they finally keep their vows to leave Amer­ica for Canada all of the folks that they fought so hard to keep in the US will be wait­ing for them north of the bor­der, ready to usher in a new golden age of prosperity!

It’s a good thing all those coun­tries these folks left didn’t real­ize how much pros­per­ity they brought with them, oth­er­wise they would have done all they could to keep them, lucky for Canada they haven’t caught on yet.

I sure hope Canada’s new found wealth doesn’t change them.
