Stopping illegal migrants from willfully breaking the law in an attempt to circumvent official channels is not a bad thing.The Canadian system acts as an incentive for abuse (as noted by the Saudi examples - where migrants planned to enter Canada through illegal channels even before Trump was elected). These migrants are taking advantage of a loophole in the safe 3rd country act and the majority of Canadians want it stopped but smug activists push a narrative that nothing can be done, in some proud exclamation of failure.  The system is broken because it rewards illegal activity.  Change the law so the entire border is under the same jurisdiction as official crossing locations so any migrant who claims refugee status is refused entry on the basis of the safe 3rd country agreement. Australia shares the same values as Canada - illegal border crossings should be stopped by any means necessary. Canada is fully capable of enacting similar laws, you represent the vocal minority fringe.
