Illegal immigration to Canada

Asylum seekers have been walking through the cold snow to get across the border from North Dakota into Manitoba recently, and Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen says it’s too soon to tell if that will continue.

Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister says the situation is getting out of hand and he fears it will only get worse as the weather gets milder.  His government is setting up emergency shelters for the American refugees and is asking Ottawa for help.
