Face up to it fellow Canadians. They are coming whether we like it or not. Our international agreement regarding the convention on refugees and The Charter of Rights mandate our treatment of people claiming refugee status.  In addition, our universal provision of social entitlement and accommodation demand refugees are provided with full health care, housing and education. We are obligated to support them until such time they are accepted or rejected. The drawn out legal process (publicly financed)allows a claimant to appeal a refusal all the way to the SCC.  Many years can pass before a resolution thereby further complicating matters i.e. children now citizens etc. Other legal provisions prevent utter and total undesirables from being deported i.e.  evidence they may be killed, tortured or otherwise discriminated against. They are ours, forever.  The refugee claimants coming from the US, nothing is different, except the anticipated numbers. Lots.  Just open our wallets and suck it up.
