At what point does a popular illegal border crossing used by over a hundred people every day become an official temporary border crossing? Now the RCMP have set up a tent and tables at the Roxham crossing to process refugee claimants, some who arrive there by bus from as far away as Miami. At what point does this become an official point of entry and thus violate conditions of the safe third country agreement? this is nothing more than a greasy end-run around official refugee process, it's dangerous to our country, and unfair to the legitimate immigrants who have to wait in line and go through the official process.
