A 'Hot Potato' Passed

Someone with the screen name Sundance writes at The Conservative Treehouse site the following schadenfreude-laden snark. Hat tip to Lucianne.com for the link.
President Trump, DHS and ICE have been cracking down on illegal aliens. As a consequence, in June of this year 884 illegal aliens fled the U.S. for asylum in Canada. A month later, in July, that number skyrocketed over four hundred percent to more than 3,100. And now in the first two weeks of August it has doubled again to more than 3,800 flooding into Canada through August 15th. At this rate August will see over 7,000 illegal aliens fleeing the U.S. for safe-harbor in Canada.

Heck, if we wait a little longer, pretty soon Canada might be paying us to build the Southern Border Wall.
We've wondered what to do with those who've come here illegally. It seems they've found their own answer: move on north to Canada. The famously polite Canadians will take them in, put them on the dole, and give them free medical care.

It makes you wonder how long Canadians will be welcoming before concluding (as we did) they cannot care for all of the world's poor. Like socialism, open borders are merely a way to share the world's poverty.
