He never advised refugees to cross illegally. But hey, let's not dwell on facts here when there is a perfectly good rant to be had!
Of course he didn't but look at the numbers. There has been a marked increase since his comment Just as the numbers changed after Trump got in.
It's not really a rant as much as a reality. They are here and will be here for a while even if they are denied. In the meantime kids have to go to school, food needs to be bought, clothes too. Not to mention housing it's not like Canada just has an abundance of empty houses/apartments. I don't know about your area but mine has very few empty with long waiting lists at all the big rental places.
Rumors are incessant, and with Trump going hot, then cold, then tepid, refugees in the US don't know what to do. So rumors start flying around, and many are getting bad advice. That was Trudeau's message here.
They might be coming here, but they'll also be leaving soon as well. Yes, it costs money to allow them the legal right to apply for refugee status and have their day in court - but that's how it has to be otherwise we run the risk of ignoring an actual refugee who might need our help.
In my area, housing sucks the opposite of yours. People have abandoned places, getting evicted or foreclosed, house prices are dropping. I've been trying to sell my place for almost 2 years, and only get 3 or 4 showings a year! Dropped the price a couple times. No takers.
But that has nothing to do with refugees, that's the Saudis playing fast and loose with oil prices.
