Asylum seekers fleeing US for Canada brave snow, extreme cold

Good.  The more the merrier.
 
Farhan Ahmed hoped to find refuge in the United States after fleeing death threats in Somalia, but fear over a US crackdown on immigration sent him on another perilous journey -- to Canada.

The 36-year-old was among nearly two dozen asylum seekers who braved bone-chilling cold on a February weekend to walk across the border, trudging through snow-covered prairies in the dead of night to make a claim in this country.

It was a record number of arrivals for a single weekend in the small border town of Emerson, and Canadian officials said Thursday they are bracing for more.

US President Donald Trump's controversial ban on refugees and nationals from seven Muslim-majority nations has prompted many who had hoped for a new life in the US to flee north.

  1. A neighboring village was attacking so this guy abandons his village, his wife, and his kids and saves his skin by illegally coming here. Mr. Trump puts a 90-day travel ban on several failed states and that scares him out of the USA. Why would we want him. And the 2-year-old pleading to die on the ice has FAKE NEWS written all over it, Yahoo.
