Straight-up fact: If these asylum seekers applied for refugee status through regular channels they would be turned away due to Canada's "Safe Third Haven" law with the U.S.  By crossing the border illegally they are entering in to the Canadian refugee system.

This is a VERY black-and-white situation and the Prime Minister is straight-up lying to Canadians.   Politicians often like to stretch the truth, but here Trudeau is just plain old fashion lying, there are no two ways about it.
