Ottawa: Amid concerns of a flow of immigrants to Canada with Donald Trump’s re-election as the US president, Canada has strengthened its border patrols. Trump has announced that he will deport people who are in the country illegally without documents.
He had earlier stated that immigrants are ‘poisoning the blood of our country.’ It is expected that there will be a mass exodus like never seen before in US history. Most of them seek asylum in Canada.
"We're on high alert. All of our eyes are looking at the border to see what's going to happen... because we know that Trump's stance on immigration might drive up illegal and irregular migration to Canada,” a Canadian Police stated.
Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland has called a meeting of ministers to discuss the matter. Chrystia Freeland indicated that they have a plan, without elaborating."Canadians need to know... our borders are safe and secure and we control them,” added the Deputy Prime Minister.
There were reports that people from the states who supported Kamala Harris were also considering moving to Canada. The situation was similar when Trump came to power in 2016. Even Canada's immigration website crashed because of their searches.
