Since Trump was inaugurated, nearly 70 people have illegally crossed into Canada from the United States to apply for refugee status

In order to gain refugee status in Canada, they need to illegally cross the border - not show up to official checkpoints.

This flow of refugees from America has been putting a strain on rural towns along the border, which have been dealing with an influx of illegal immigrants. In Manitoba, a center that had been set up to help these border crossers was full as of Sunday. Another popular crossing point has been the town of Hemmingford, in Quebec, just over the border from New York.

Last week, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau admitted that he was 'very concerned' with the amount of refugees crossing into rural areas.

Trudeau said Canada may try allowing these people to apply for refugee status at official borders rather than requiring them to cross the border illegally.

Canadian police must inform illegal immigrants that they will be arrested before crossing over. But immigrants are only briefly handcuffed so they can be taken to a station to declare themselves refugees.
