Now its Canada's Problem

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/21/us/21refugees.html?pagewanted=2&_r=1

Up until now, Mexican Immigrants have immediantly fled to the United States to seek refuge from poverty in Mexico. However as of September 20th, at least 200 people had turned up, across the border from Detroit. With an expected 7,000 more to arrive in the coming weeks. Last year there was a percentage of 28% of 47% of immigration came from Mexico. What is Canada to do about this?
Officials in Windsor had a brief meeting on Thursday to discuss the matter at hand. Only to find out that their Salvation Army, workers were being overrun. With a shelter filled with 30 single men, and four motels haivng been rented for the immigrants. With meals being run to them via taxi cab. The Salvation Army was overwhelmed by the huge numbers when the immigrants arrived at a community center in Windsor, to apply for Social Services.
This trend recently began its uprising when the The Collier County Sheriff’s Office recently became the first local law enforcement agency in Florida to send its deputies for Immigrations and Custom Enforcement training, posted on its website, information required for Canadian Refugee Status Application. The website also posted that it would have $400 for adults and $100 for children and assured them that there would be jobs and shelter.
The Collier County Sheriff’s Office recently became the first local law enforcement agency in Florida to send its deputies for Immigrations and Custom Enforcement training, which ahs now set off numerous stories, which is currently causing widespread fear and panic for the immigrants in Canada's society. This happens when an employer warns its hirer's to not hire immigrants. Then when an immigrant applies, they are caught.
However it has been recently discovered that the The Collier County Sheriff’s Office recently became the first local law enforcement agency in Florida to send its deputies for Immigrations and Custom Enforcement training website has been charging $400 per person to seek Asylum in Canada. On their site the charge is descirbed as a "fee", when in reality it is actually more of a donation. And although Mexicans who have lived in the United States are permitted to seek asylum in Canada, they will be deported to Mexico if they are turned down.
