The families desperate to flee from Donald Trump's America
Sky News ^ | April 4, 2017 | By Hannah Thomas-Peter

At the end of a lonely country road in upstate New York, a taxi pulls up.

Five people get out and stand uncertainly in the freezing rain - two men from Yemen, a woman from Eritrea and her two small boys.

They've come to flee America through its northern border, in to Canada.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police waiting on the other side of the snowy ditch tell them they will be arrested if they cross at this unofficial border point.

The two men, the woman and her sons take just a few steps over the invisible border and in to police custody, hoping to one day become a refugee in Canada.

Up and down this vast border region thousands have done the same, the numbers increasing sharply since Donald Trump rode to power on a wave of populist anti-immigrant sentiment.

The Canadian Border Services Agency says there was a six-fold increase in refugee claims just at Quebec's border in February compared to the same month in 2016.

Nationally, the agency says that in January and February 2017 more than 2,500 people crossed over and made asylum claims.

Trudeau said they are welcomed in Oh Canada. I’m glad to see them go.

It’s the free stuff they’re after, and the ability to spread the hate & violence of their 7th Century death cult.

“Donald Trump rode to power on a wave of populist anti-immigrant sentiment.”

This propaganda is getting very old.

What a fraudulent National Anthem...

“From far and wide, Oh Canada,
We stand on guard for thee...”

Should be “From far and wide, Oh Canada,
We drop our guard for thee”

Trump didn't rife an anti immigrant wave, he rode an anti illegal immigrant wave. Are all journalist ignorant morons? They can't see through their political bias.

Yup! The title should have said "Illegal Alien Families..."

I can't imagine a downside for our country with this trend. I did have fleeting feelings of pity for Canada. Then further on, I read they were fleeing to Quebec.

As part of the Trump Infrastructure Plan, a Bridge will be built from the Southern Border to the Northern Border.

The Bridge will have no Exits between its start and end points.

President Trump will be remembered for building a Bridge between two of our closest Allies.

They know killing Christians and Jews will be easier in Canada so they have packed up their beheading knives and gone north. Good stay there until you try it on the wrong Canadian.
