Makes sense to me.

Why wouldn’t they leave a nation that no longer welcomes them, to try their luck elsewhere?

Yeah, its too bad that there are some in this country who believe in the rule of law.
 
More power to them…maybe the refugees will find what they are looking for there.
 
They’ll be welcomed to the land of Trudeau, socialism, and high taxes.

They won’t be sent back.
 
“Refugees from the United States.”

The phrase sounds odd.
They aren’t American, so not odd at all.

Technically, Tories who crossed the Great Lakes in 1776, travellers on the Underground Railroad before 1865 and Native Americans escaping into 1800s Mexico would fall into that category. None at the time were citizens.

What exactly are they seeking refuge from?
They are mostly illegal aliens who failed to obtain asylum status.
The Obama admin tended to let them stay in spite of failing the refugee test.
Trump admin wants to follow the rules and send them back to their home countries.
They are choosing to test their luck with Canada, what do they have to lose really.
 
Let’s see…
  1. Sean Penn (abuser)
  2. Madonna (abused)
  3. Cher (hates self)
  4. Alec Baldwin (hates you)
  5. George C. Looney (loves self)
  6. Any number of ‘Hollywood idiots’ (abandoning Hollywood to build the Great White Pine)
  7. Anyone who still mistakenly uses MapQuest
 
What exactly are they seeking refuge from?
As I understand it, many are Haitians that left after the earthquake in 2010. Since Haiti is considered to be safe now, the US won’t continue to allow them here as refugees and want them to return to Haiti. If they don’t return voluntarily they can be deported. Rather than going home they are heading further north.

At best I can figure they want refuge from being Haitian? I think the thing is many leave places that aren’t desirable during disasters and then decide they don’t want to return after the disaster is mitigated. It would be a little like being put up in a Hilton after your house burns down and then saying you want to live in the Hilton for the rest of your life even though your house was rebuilt.

But with Haiti, the Clinton foundation only build a few model homes. The promised housing for the masses never materialized. But the money did go somewhere.

I thought that was the Red Cross, but given there were literally millions that were donated with very little going to rebuild I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened with multiple organizations.

My problem is not helping the people, but exactly the above. We essentially have organizations that fleece people during disasters, never fix things and then those same people say, “we should let them stay since things haven’t improved in 7 years”.

Well for the cost of keeping them here you could rebuild the country several times over. How about investing in their infrastructure and economy to lift the whole country up instead of just a handful? But improving the lives of hundreds of thousands isn’t as important as pushing the story that people simply don’t care.
 
Haiti must have been pig heaven for stealing. Millions pouring in without any real oversight. Easily corrupted officials.

Yea, I will never donate to the Red Cross after what did did with donations for WTC, H Sandy, and Haiti.
Where did it go? It did not escape the attention of the Haitians that Bill Clinton was the designated UN representative for aid to Haiti. Following the earthquake, Bill Clinton had with media fanfare established the Haiti Reconstruction Fund. Meanwhile, his wife Hillary was the United States secretary of state. She was in charge of U.S. aid allocated to Haiti. Together the Clintons were the two most powerful people who controlled the flow of funds to Haiti from around the world.
