Recent developments in American politics continue to exacerbate the migration on foot of refugees from the US to Canada. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has been covering this trend, and we at IJFAB Blog have also been watching. In a new CBC article yesterday, we read the words of a toddler who asked his mother to leave him to die in the snow so that she could go in to Canada. They were part of a group of refugees who walked for two hours from 2am to 4 am -20C weather. How many people are making these kinds of dangerous migrations, even in winter?

Canada Border Services Agency’s most recent numbers show 403 asylum seekers illegally crossed into Manitoba between April 2016 and the end of January 2017, many of them entering near the small border town of Emerson.
