Mr. Speaker, only a Liberal prime minister could promise to secure our border and fail in just six months. Over the summer, asylum claims from illegal U.S. crossings spiked dramatically, piling onto a staggering backlog of nearly 300,000 unprocessed claims. Many of these are likely bogus, yet claimants are immediately entitled to work permits, health care and benefits on the backs of Canadian taxpayers. It is another broken Liberal promise, another bait and switch, because he is just another Liberal Prime Minister.
How much longer is the Prime Minister going to keep our border open and let it become a backdoor, unplanned stream of economic migration before he finally takes action?
