The federal government is preparing for a potential surge in Mexican migrants coming to Canada after Donald Trump's election victory, CBC News has learned. Sources confirm high level meetings took place this week with officials at Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada and in other departments. The news comes as Canada prepares to loosen rules for Mexicans to enter the country by lifting a visa requirement on Dec. 1. That restriction has been in place since 2009. Talks on a plan to cope with a possible spike in asylum-seekers have been ongoing for some time, but were accelerated this week after Trump's surprise win. Toronto-based immigration lawyer Lorne Waldman expects an increase in refugee claims from Mexicans once the visa requirement is lifted. He also predicts a "significant impact" from Trump's election. "The government was very concerned about the potential for a large number of new claims coming from Mexico, and that's why they hesitated for so long before announcing that they were going to remove the visa," he said.

Hap That is so damned silly, it is laffable.
That is so damned silly, it is laffable. We won't know that for at least another month or so, as it sinks in that the US gov is actually going to enforce immigration laws and enforce its own border security. Basically, if you can make it there, no matter how you got there, you can stay.
We know it now. Beaners aint gonna go where they have to shovel snow.

That is for "legal" immigrants only. Not true for "political immigrants" and refugees.
