The Globe is shameless - if they were seeking asylum they could have applied in the US. They are illegal migrants who tried to circumvent Canada's official border crossings by breaking the law in a willful attempt to game the system. The illegal migrants are coached by career activists in Canada who encourage them to enter Canada illegally and Trudeau even welcomed them with open arms on Twitter.

The overwhelming majority of Canadians support stronger border controls and Trudeau reverts to his short-sighted symbolic puffery of "because it's 2017"...
