Who said that more officers at the border is a solution? Not the government nor anybody else as far as I know! However, more resources are needed at the border while people continue to cross illegally. They have to be brought to a place where they can file a refugee claim should they wish. That is what has been going on. It's true that we might need more resources to do background checks, etc. but even tht won't stop people from crossing illegally, it just makes it easier to remove people in a more timely fashion. I just read yesterday that the reason that illegal border crossers are allowed to file refugee claims is because that is required by international law. Leuprecht seems to be pointing fingers while haveing zero real solutions himself!

Here's an idea, negotiate with the US to ensure that the States remove people in a timely fashion! These people who are crossing our border illegally are leaving the US because they aren't legal there. Don't blame Canada for an American problem.
