Trudeau silent on border crossings

Dear Friend,

No one can dispute Canada is a welcoming place. 

As a nation, we’re known for doing our part to help those in need.

For decades we’ve opened our borders to those escaping religious persecution, terrorism, and violent dictatorships.

However, since Justin Trudeau issued his open invitation on Twitter that “Canadians will welcome you,” our country has seen an influx of asylum seekers illegally crossing our border from a perfectly safe country – the United States.

And just last week we learned that “nearly half of the asylum seekers crossing the Manitoba border illegally in the last few weeks are being detained because of serious criminal records.”

One border services officer was allegedly assaulted by an asylum seeker that had been detained for their criminal past!

>> Keep our Borders Safe! <<

So far Justin Trudeau has been silent on the issue.

A recent opinion poll by Reuters/Ipsos showed 46% of those asked said they “disagreed” with how Trudeau was handling the situation.

Fact: there are hundreds of thousands of people around the world who choose to come to Canada using the proper, legal channels.

But with those illegally crossing from a safe, democratic country like the United States, it appears Canada’s welcoming nature is being taken advantage of.

These illegal border crossings aren’t just unsafe for those seeking to come to Canada – they also put a burden on local communities near the border.

It is during times like this that Canada needs strong, transparent leadership that will enforce our laws and keep Canadians safe.

Help us set the course for victory in 2019.

Sincerely,

The Conservative Party of Canada
