You're absolutely correct, SCOTT309.  Exe

The ONLY "lunacy" Trudeau is guilty of is going on social media and saying "welcome" without also saying, in effect, "and take your chances..."  The chances are actually quite remote with this group of people. The average refusal rate for refugees into Canada is a little less than 40%.  For Haitians, it's almost the reverse.  The APPROVAL rate for Haitians--even before the border jumping began (that would be Jan-June, 2015--last available stats according to Toronto Sun a few days ago) is 39%.  This number included those from the island.  What hopes for those from the USA (where employment, incomes and living conditions are much higher)?  Even less.  

Trudeau, it seems, does the same thing in this instance (although, thankfully, far less often) as Trump: shoots off a tweet before thinking "hmm, what might be the consequences..."

I bet Minister Goodale has had some interesting conversations with the PMO and PM on this in the last few months...
