Canadian troops deployed to set up tents at border

Big mistake. Should be using the troops to keep them out.

My felon brother can't get into Canada, he should just tell them he doesn't have ID and is from Syria.

Canadians soldiers are being deployed to St-Bernard-de-Lacolle to erect tents for asylum seekers attempting to enter Canada from the United States.

Almost 100 troops will be used to set up the camp site, which will consist of "modular tent shelters with lighting and heating and may temporarily accomodate close to 500 people," Department of National Defence spokesperson Evan Koronewski told CTV Montreal in an email.

"The Canadian Armed Forces is aware of the difficult situation that is requiring significant resources of Canada Border Services Agency, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and other partners in the area of St-Bernard-de-Lacolle," said Koronewski.

"Assistance from the Canadian Armed Forces was requested to support the civilian authorities of the Government of Canada to temporarily accommodate asylum seekers at the border. With roughly 250 asylum seekers arriving in Montreal from the United States every day, more facilities are being opened to house them."

I was a big proponent of us paying for a super highway that went from the Mexican border to the Canadian border. No exits along the way ;)

Why should the United States of America really give a rat's ass what Canada thinks.? Everyone talks about Canada like it's some big place to go to or something. I don't see the validity in that.
