Immigration Issues: Border Crossers and Housing Crisis

immigration issues: Federal, provincial and territorial ministers were meeting in Winnipeg to discuss immigration issues when Hussen was asked about Ontario Premier Doug Ford demanding that federal government pay millions to provide supports for asylum seekers, according to CTV. Ford has said the federal government is ushering people across the border and asylum seekers, whom he calls illegal border crossers, have caused a housing crisis in Ontario. Maybe the minister should sit down and have a nice cup of tea, calm down a little bit and maybe phone me and apologize for calling me un Canadian, Lisa Mac Leod said Friday. Hussen said the new premier's messaging is irresponsible. It's fear-mongering and it's not Canadian. It's divisive. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
