Not really. Trudeau does a much better job of handling immigrants than Trump. We're doing well while Trump admits the US is overwhelmed.
"Immigration advocates have been calling on the government to suspend the Canada-U.S. Safe Third Country Agreement, which has been cited as a major factor in the spike of irregular border crossings.
The agreement prevents asylum seekers from asking for refugee protection when they present themselves at an official port of entry. They can only claim refugee status from inside Canada, which is why thousands have been crossing through unofficial entry points on foot."
"Concerns boiled over in Quebec this week over the mounting pressures caused by the
tens of thousands of asylum seekers that have been pouring into that province over the last year.
Some officials are projecting a further
400 people a day could cross the border into Quebec through forest paths this summer to claim asylum in Canada _ a situation Rempel warned will only exacerbate ongoing backlogs in the processing of refugee claims."
"But the IRB is warning concentrated surges in refugee claims and appeals could negate any gains it makes in reducing backlogs. Last year,
a 20 per cent improvement in processing was swallowed by a 40 per cent increase in cases.
"With wait times in excess of 12 months at all three divisions (of the IRB), the focus of the board over the next three years is to reduce those backlogs where resource levels permit or else to limit their growth," says the board's recently tabled department plan."
"In 2017-18, the board finalized 49,000 cases, up from 40,500 the previous year, but intake over the same period increased by twice that amount, from 50,700 in 2016-17 to 70,000 cases across all divisions, including refugee protection claims, appeals, detention reviews, inadmissibility hearings and immigration appeals."

If this is your idea of a much better job, what the hell do you call a bad one?
