Town Others: Ctv Winnipeg and Asylum Seekers

town others: Some were seen making the journey under the cover of night, hugging tight to a set of railway tracks to guide them into town, according to CTV. Others were spotted driving up to an old border crossing that once separated Minnesota and Manitoba in broad daylight and simply walking north up the road. Video obtained by CTV News shows 29 people walked into the province from neighbouring U.S. states on Saturday and Sunday in a series of groups. We see the numbers climbing, and I don't think that is going to slow down, Emerson-Franklin councillor Doug Johnston told CTV Winnipeg on Monday. While many expected the number of asylum seekers arriving in Manitoba would rise in step with the appearance of spring weather, the spike is proving larger than anticipated. The small border town with a population of less than 700 has been at the centre of the illegal border crossing surge. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
