Canada's Conservative opposition blasted the Trudeau government Thursday over a pamphlet that tells people how to illegally enter Canada. As Global News reports , the document was found in Plattsburgh, New York - not far from the Quebec border - that has seen almost 30,000 asylum seekers walk across over the past year and a half.
The number of illegal immigrants seeking asylum status across the Canadian border north of Plattsburgh will this month likely exceed 4,000, including Haitians whose temporary asylum here following hurricane devastation and epidemic in Haiti is now ending. Immigrant children born in the United States are citizens of this country and may therefore be separated from their families and sent to orphanages in the U.S. as their parents are forced back across the border.
A rally is planned Friday in Plattsburgh to press Rep. Elise Stefanik to oppose the Cassidy-Graham health-care bill if it comes to the House for a vote. Participants will gather at 5 p.m. at Trinity Park in downtown Plattsburgh and march to Stefanik's office at 23 Durkee St. The action is expected to draw community members, health-care providers, elected officials and clergy, according to Joe Seeman, one of the organizers.
Roxham Road is a quiet country road jutting off another quiet country road, where a couple of horses munch on soggy hay and a ditch running along the muddy pavement flows with melted snow. It cuts through a thicket of dormant trees, passing a half-dozen trailer homes and after almost a mile runs into a line of boulders and a rusted railing with a sign: Road Closed.
