It is sad to see foreign citizens being treated this way. The problem here is, why did they ran from the border patrol when they were being questioned? It seems to me there are more to this that what is being reported. Then they got arrested at the Canadian border patrol? The news is all about appealing to the readers' emotion and humanitarian tendencies but we have to be smart about this. Did they ran away because their legal status is invalid? If so, it's no one's fault but their own. They had two years living in Delaware to get assistance or pay for their paperwork so they can be in the US legally. Also, in the US, in order to get refugee status, they have to be persecuted by race or religion. Please don't say that they are being persecuted because they are Muslim. They are not persecuted, they are merely being questioned just like everyone else who cross the border, it's called standard operating procedure not persecution.
