Refugee Claimants: Scoping Issues and Cabinet Meeting

refugee claimants: It's a discussion we're having with the Americans about the various techniques that could be pursued on both sides of the border to ensure security and integrity, Goodale said as he left the weekly cabinet meeting, according to The Chronicle Herald. But this is very exploratory at the moment, scoping issues and potential solutions. The aim would be to stem the flow of refugee claimants, who have been coming into Canada from the U.S. in growing numbers over the last year. Last year, many of the asylum seekers were from Haiti and left the United States over fears of being deported as President Donald Trump threatened to end a temporary residency program. Manitoba and Quebec have been affected the most by the influx. In more recent months, new arrivals have increased dramatically, with many coming from Nigeria after spending only short periods of time in the U.S. before boarding buses destined for the border.
