Donald Trump's election win could see a huge influx of illegal migrants into Canada as they flee the US for a state which previously vowed to welcome them. t.

Canadian police and migrant aid groups are bracing for the arrival of asylum-seekers from the US at the same time they are dealing with record numbers of refugee claimants. Some are likening the anticipated surge to a 'worst case scenario'

President-elect Trump swept to power this week in part on a promise to enact the largest deportation in American history.

Canadian police have been preparing for months, Royal Canadian Mounted Police Sergeant Charles Poirier said on Thursday.

'Worst-case scenario would be people crossing in large numbers everywhere on the territory,' he said.

'Let's say we had 100 people per day entering across the border, then it's going to be hard because our officers will basically have to cover huge distances in order to arrest everyone.'

The police chief said his teams had been prepping a 'contingency plan' for Trump's election, warning that it could drive illegal migration and irregular migration into Quebec and Canada.

When Trump first came to power in 2017, thousands of asylum-seekers crossed into Canada between formal border crossings to file refugee claims – overwhelmingly at Roxham Road, near the Quebec-New York border.

Roxham Road is no longer an option: Canada and the U.S. expanded a bilateral agreement so that now asylum-seekers trying to cross anywhere along the 4,000-mile border, instead of only at formal crossings, are turned back unless they meet a narrow exemption.

One thing about illegals, they aren’t woke.

I’m mildly curious as to the function of that white cord around his neck.

I have a couple of thoughts on the matter, but they’re pure speculation.

Anybody know for real?

This is a real problem for Canada. They don’t have a dedicated border patrol.

Somehow, I think they’ll be ok.

If they manage to get in, is Canada going to deport them back to us, or to where they really came from and belong?
