Exactly.... How are these people's lives being threatened?  Would the US in fact deport these people crossing the Canadian border back to Somolia or  wherever and put their life in danger?

If these exact same people came to the Canadian border crossing they would be turned back to the US as they would not be in danger in the US.

The only difference that gets them into Canada is the fact that they made the choice to cross the border illegally.

If it is a question of life threatening danger I would like someone to tell their story.
