Keep a 'wary eye' on U.S. travel visas, Goodale tells American counterpart
In an interview Sunday with CBC News, Goodale said Canadian officials have identified trends where documents issued from certain U.S. embassies and consulates are being misused.
"We have asked them to go back upstream and examine the pattern of these travel documents being issued and how come the people to whom they were issued appear to have had no intention of staying in the United States, but were simply using the documents as vehicles to get into the United States and then make a beeline for the Canadian border," Goodale explained.
While the minister refused to identify diplomatic missions that have been problematic, Nigeria is one place where people obtained visas to visit the U.S. with the intention of heading to Canada.
The minister said acting Secretary of Homeland Security Elaine Duke was very receptive to the suggestion and indicated the U.S. is also looking at putting up signs at irregular crossings on its side of the border with messages to dissuade those seeking asylum in Canada.
"They're examining what they can do to communicate," Goodale said.
In a news release today about the meeting at the G7 summit of interior ministers in Ischia, Italy, the department of homeland security reported Duke and Goodale talked about "joint steps to take to address illegal migration across their shared border."
Goodale said he asked Duke to consider alerting Canadian authorities when the U.S. is about to make policy decisions that would affect the border, in order to give agencies such as border services time to prepare.
Canada is taking steps to curb improper immigration from it's southern border, and it's southern neighbor is actually being supportive instead of calling it xenophobic. Huh. Imagine that.

Seriously? You would support armed police gunning them down, or tackling them and arresting them for a non violent crime instead?

Who is it on this board that likes to use the term "whataboutism"?
Illegal immigration has been a problem for decades, it precedes Trump. During that time the Mexican position on illegal immigration across the Mexico-US border has always been that it is a positive for Mexico. They love that Western Union wired money.

That doesn't really apply in this case; but it's also not me you likes to use that term, so the tu quoque doesn't carry much water.
Illegal immigration of Mexicans from Mexico into the United States hasn't really be the problem, recently. Policing said border is also a lot more complicated than their loving "that Western Union wired money".

That's hilarious.
You don’t let people you don’t know enter your house and do god knows what in there so why should our country? Our country has enough issues as it is without the burden of more people, that don’t pay taxes, sucking on the same tit.
