Do you know how most of the refugee claimants enter Canada in the first place. Through the US. According to a US Immigration Officer, they fly into JFK in New York City and immediately head north and try to cross the border into Canada claiming this or that status. If they are successful they get into Canada and begin receiving benifits, etc. If they are rejected, they do not have to go back to their own country, they go back to the US. Many of these people would not be able to enter Canada directly but someone has figured out that they can easily enter by coming in through the US. I cannot state that this is 100% accurate but I was told this by a US Immigartion Officer at the Champlain, NY border crossing 2 years ago just before Canada tightened up it's immigration policies. At that time, there was a surge of people lined up at Canadian Immigation waiting to enter the country before the new rules took effect.
