Liberals use 'illegal' vs. 'irregular' argument as a distraction

07/12/2018

Under Trudeau, the number of illegal border crossers has proliferated. There have been upwards of 70,000 asylum claims in the past 18 months - a drastic spike over numbers from recent decades. "Crossing the border in between official border crossings is illegal," said Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau a few months ago in the House of Commons. It's bizarre, therefore, that Liberal immigration minister Ahmed Hussen is picking a fight with Conservative Ontario Premier Doug Ford over Ford's use of the term "illegal border crossers".
