Canadian officials preparing for potential flood of Mexican migrants after Trump
« on: November 13, 2016, 06:24:25 AM »

By Kathleen Harris, CBC News Posted: Nov 10, 201

The federal government is preparing for a potential surge in Mexican migrants coming to Canada after Donald Trump's election victory, CBC News has learned.

Sources confirm high level meetings took place this week with officials at Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada and in other departments.

The news comes as Canada prepares to loosen rules for Mexicans to enter the country by lifting a visa requirement on Dec. 1. That restriction has been in place since 2009.

Talks on a plan to cope with a possible spike in asylum-seekers have been ongoing for some time, but were accelerated this week after Trump's surprise win.

Toronto-based immigration lawyer Lorne Waldman expects an increase in refugee claims from Mexicans once the visa requirement is lifted. He also predicts a "significant impact" from Trump's election.

"The government was very concerned about the potential for a large number of new claims coming from Mexico, and that's why they hesitated for so long before announcing that they were going to remove the visa," he said.

Trudeau is so left he may act as a relief valve for us.

The resistance to the election is obvious but Trudeau offers so much of what the lefties here want they may be more interested in running to him rather than staying here to fight, politically or otherwise.

=============================

Canada will probably pick up at least a million new Mexican citizens over the next 18 months.

Brace yourselves for it. 

It will taper off after that, barring some unknown event the prevents the Americans from building the Mexican border wall.
