Illegal immigrants are rushing to storm the United States’ southern border before the November election while they still can under President Joe Biden’s lax border policies because they know that if former President Donald Trump gets in office, the freebies stop there.
Former U.S. ambassador to Canada Bruce Heyman told reporters at a national security conference that if Trump gets elected, all of the illegal immigrants will flee to Canada.
“These people aren’t just going to sit there and wait to be rounded up,” Heyman said.
Trump has vowed to crack down on illegal immigration the second he gets into the White House, promising to implement the “largest mass deportation effort” in U.S. history. The GOP’s presumptuous nominee plans to deport nearly 20 million illegal aliens using local law enforcement, the National Guard, and the military to achieve this.
Heyman said that if Trump wins in November, illegal immigrants will immediately pack up and leave, likely heading north to Canada due to its lax border laws.
As a result, Canada has seen a massive demand for housing. In order for the government to correct this, they have had to bring in more foreign workers which drives down wages for domestic labor, which then makes housing and life in general unaffordable.
There are three very real dangers posed by the election of Trump 2.0 that politicians need to pay attention to, according to former U.S. ambassador to Canada Bruce Heyman, who presented them to a security conference in Ottawa earlier this week … The first is the potential impact of one of Trump’s signature policies: the mass deportation of up to 11 million undocumented migrants from the United States. Trump made similar promises in his 2016 campaign, which he did not achieve. But observers say this time, he will be more effective, leveraging sympathetic officials at the Department of Homeland Security, the justice system, and the military. Via columnist Tasha Kheiriddin.

What would a second Donald Trump presidency mean for Canada? There has been much speculation, ranging from ripping up the Canada-U.S.-Mexico free trade agreement, to abandoning our country to the whims of Vladimir Putin unless we spend two per cent of our GDP on defence. But beyond these hyperboles, there are three very real dangers posed by the election of Trump 2.0 that politicians need to pay attention to, according to former U.S. ambassador to Canada Bruce Heyman, who presented them to a security conference in Ottawa earlier this week. And I’m sharing them here, because like a tsunami on the horizon, unless we get ready for them, they could swamp us in more ways than one.
The first is the potential impact of one of Trump’s signature policies: the mass deportation of up to 11 million undocumented migrants from the United States. Trump made similar promises in his 2016 campaign, which he did not achieve. But observers say this time, he will be more effective, leveraging sympathetic officials at the Department of Homeland Security, the justice system and the military.
What does this mean for Canada? Heyman was blunt: “These people aren’t just going to sit there and wait to be rounded up.” Should Trump win, they will immediately begin making plans to leave — and they will not go south, but north. If we thought the situation at Quebec’s Roxham Road border crossing was bad prior to its closure last year, imagine a 8,891-kilometre border of Roxhams, with millions of people seeking sanctuary here, all at once, in the dead of winter. Or coming by air, as they have been since the crossing’s closure.
Canada is already facing a housing crisis and tightening our own rules on student visas and temporary workers. We are in no position to accommodate a mass influx of migrants, so the question hangs in the air: what would we do? Over to you, Justin Trudeau, because unless you quit or call an early election, you’re still going to be in the hot seat.
