You speak for many Canadians such as myself.  We have a very generous system and compassionate system for immigrants, refuges, foreign students and 10 year residency permits - millions.  No person having been in the US for many years and yes they were invited in temporarily and got to work there, should be eligible for an asylum claim.  Many have had children in the US during that time as well.  By saying 50 percent of recent similar hearings got asylum and it can take a long time to process and appeal plus now saying humanitarian grounds like having a child born here or in the USA would not do well going back to Haiti provides great odds when ones desperate.  If we want to be compassionate create a program like we did for the Syrians.  However Haiti  is not under the same circumstances although I understand their situation is difficult.  Our Prime Minister needs to see many Canadidan's do not accept a loophole being exploited.
