If elected prime minister, Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer says he would put an end to 'illegal' border crossings in Canada.
Last Updated Tuesday, May 28, 2019 9:33PM EDT
Scheer told the crowd he believes Canadians have lost confidence in the fairness of the immigration system thanks to the influx of irregular migrants. Since the beginning of 2017, over 43,000 asylum seekers have arrived in Canada through unofficial entry points. "They are the most offended at Trudeau's status quo, where some are able to jump queues, exploit loopholes and game the system."
As for the numbers of newcomers admitted each year in Canada, Scheer acknowledged it is a controversial topic. Few details were attached to his commitments; Scheer said he would provide more details during the election campaign in the fall.
