Yes they are entering Canada illegally and actually have no right to claim asylum here.  However our government is willing to take in all the free loaders and make tax payers foot the bill. Even if they don't remain in Canada they will be put up until their hearing which can take as long as 2 years.  So they get a free place to live and expenses until then. Seems like a great scam to me, why should I have to pay for it though?  At least the free dental was cancelled for refugees.  Not sure why they got in the first place, no other Canadians get free dental. Anything to make Trudeau look good to the world.  Not sure how taking in free loaders will do that but can't hurt to try i guess.
