EXCLUSIVE: Premier Smith CONCERNED by Canada's illegal migrant problem
'Trump's concerned about the cross border problem of not only illegal migrants, but also fentanyl,' says Premier Smith. 'These are shared concerns.'
In a Rebel News exclusive, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith discussed her take on President-elect Donald Trump's tariff threat.
"I believe Donald Trump when he says what he says about what his concerns are," said Smith. "He's concerned about the cross border problem of not only illegal migrants, but also fentanyl. These are shared concerns."
"We have those concerns as well," she added. "I've been raising them. Other premiers have been raising them."
For over a year now, illegal crossings into the USA from Canada have skyrocketed. With the recent victory of Trump and his promises of mass deportations, is the RCMP well-equipped to counter what might happen soon?

Trump, who promised to conduct the largest deportation of illegal migrants in U.S. history upon his inauguration at the end of January, threatened Canada with 25% tariffs on all exports.
“Thousands of people are pouring through Mexico and Canada bringing crime and drugs at levels never seen before,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “The tariff will remain in effect until such time as drugs, in particular fentanyl, and all illegal aliens stop this invasion of our country.”
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told Trump he has addressed U.S. concerns by strengthening visa requirements for Mexicans and reducing immigration targets. He failed to defuse tensions after telling the president-elect that less than 1% of border crossers entering the U.S. illegally came from Canada.
Poilievre tears into Trudeau over his lack of a response to Trump's tariff threat over illegal immigration: "Our economy is weakened. Our borders are weakened. Our military is weakened. And most of all, our prime minister is weakened."https://t.co/vD78U4ZuZQ pic.twitter.com/vS6ozeRwP5

“President Trump seemed to lump Canada and Mexico together in illegal immigration; do you think that’s fair?” asked a reporter. “It isn’t,” replied Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration. “We have different challenges.”
Miller admits Canada cannot allow its problems to bleed over into the United States, promising a slew of measures to avoid a winter tariff war. “There is work to be done here to make sure people aren’t going in irregularly into the United States,” he said.

Bruce Atchison commented 2024-11-29 19:50:19 -0500Danielle Smith is right to be concerned about border security. More must be done. Just because Donald Trump says something, doesn’t mean it’s just his opinion on the border. It will benefit both countries to tighten up borders and send freeloaders packing. Those so-called migrants and asylum seekers are a drain on our school and welfare systems. They drain our health care as well. It’s time to send them back to where they came from and immigrate legally.
