Ottawa – The Canadian government is on high alert after Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election. In fact, after Trump’s victory, Canada fears that a large number of refugees may leave the US and come to Canada. This is the reason why the Canadian government has increased surveillance of its borders and the situation is being constantly monitored. It is worth noting that Donald Trump had raised the issue of illegal immigrants in the US during his election campaign and he had also promised to expel illegal immigrants from the country if he was elected president.
Immigrants can go to Canada from the US
Now that Trump has won the presidential election, Canada fears that a large number of illegal immigrants may leave the US and come to Canada out of fear of Trump. The Canadian government fears that due to the anti-immigrant atmosphere in the US, the number of refugees seeking asylum in their country may increase. A Canadian police officer said that ‘We are on high alert. We all have our eyes on the border to see what is going to happen…because we know that illegal and irregular migration to Canada may increase due to Trump’s tough stance on immigration.
These are the problems of Canada
The problem of Canada is that the US and Canada borders a very large area. In such a situation, monitoring the entire border and arresting immigrants who cross the border illegally is going to be a very difficult task for the Canadian government. Canada’s Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland also held a meeting with ministers on this issue on Friday. This group of ministers has been given the responsibility of coordinating with the Trump administration in the US and agreeing on various issues between the two countries. On the arrival of immigrants across the border, the Deputy Prime Minister of Canada said that Canada is ready to deal with the situation.
