In think refugees should be able to cross the border to Canada, because their country might be having a war or are being persecuted, so if America sends them back they might die.

I thinks these refugees can be able to come to Canada because these people need help , so we should not make them go away. But the government has to pay more for these people and let more poor people go in.

I think that it depends if the refugees should be able to cross the border. I mean, most of them should be allowed, but some people might pretend to be a refuge to cross the border, and they might have a weapon. See you all tomorrow!

I don't believe refugees or people in general should be crossing the border illegally and for one reason is common sense you are not going to think "oh i am just going to go across the border in this little town in Saskatchewan i won't get caught" and if u think that u need help,

i think its fair because they could be living in poverty in which they cant afford due to lack of money; they cant afford a car and gas for it, also it is expensive to get your passport to actually cross the boarder legally. people cant get jobs to work for money because most places wont accept them

Refugees should have a right to go across the border because it is just not fair and racist, well that's what I think.

I think that refugees should be allowed to come into Canada, but just not illegally. If they cross illegally, then it will just make things suspicious as to why they couldn't just come to Canada legally. However, we don't know the reason as to why they crossed illegally, but it could be because the refugees felt hopeless because they're being kicked out of America, so they may feel that this is their only choice. Other than that, I think that refugees should be allowed to come to Canada, because it's only fair for them to be given the same opportunities that we have. Also, we should not discriminate against a certain culture or religion. See you all tomorrow :)

I think that this is super scary and that those who get in could be evil and bad.

I honestly don't care if they come to Canada but if they get money to buy basic needs then things are a little different.If the refugee get money and not the homeless that are already hear and most likely starving and what not then all we are really doing is increasing the amount of people in poverty in Canada

i do believe that refugees should be aloud to cross into are country just not in a bad way and with a bad mindset to hurst the citizens of canada. like if they brought drugs or weapons to sell and make bad things happen just to make money. i also believe that at times their might be immigrants coming to canada for no reason and just to sell bad things like i said. but i do believe everyone should be given a chance no matter what they have done or said.

i think they should cross illegally because if they don't cross they could get fined,arrested,or not allowed to cross the border legally at all.

I think that refugees should be allowed to come into Canada as long as they aren't doing anything illegal, like crossing the border illegally, or brining weapons into the country etc.

I believe refugees should be able to cross the border, but not illegally. If I was living in that border town, I would be scared, too.

I do not think that illegal refugees should be coming into our country, because - They could be coming into our country for bad/unnecessary reasons, like they could be terrorists and coming to set bombs into our country, or they could be stealing, and making crimes, or they could be bringing illegal things or food into our country, like fruits and vegetables. So, before they come into our country, they should be checked by the border security officers.

I think its great that Canada is letting refugees into the country but I don't think its very safe for them to be sneaking over the boarder. I think that we should be sending the refugees somewhere a little farther away from the city to start jobs there and not take anybody else's.

I think it's dumb that 400 refugees could illegally cross into Canada. That just shows that Canada and USA have really bad security
