Refugees Pamphlet: Government Propaganda and Harsha Walia

refugees pamphlet: The idea initiated in Vancouver, where we were talking to a lot of people who were crossing at the B.C. border, explained Harsha Walia, one of the founders of No One Is Illegal, which was involved in the publication, according to Metro News. There's been a lot of government propaganda that, We welcome refugees' in the media. The two-page Border rights for refugees pamphlet has already been distributed to more than 360 organizations across the U.S. and has been snapped up by would-be border-crossers in contact with its creators and those hoping to seek asylum after successfully arriving here. People said they heard Canada will accept us, but there was a huge lack of knowledge. In February, Metro met with a family of asylum-seekers fleeing violence in their home country, Honduras, to the U.S. But Trump's anti-immigrant rhetoric drove them to sneak into B.C. through the snow in sub-zero night time temperatures. It was evident that people just didn't have the information they needed without which people would not be able to make a claim at the land border. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
