Lost in the discussion of Trump's deportation intentions is the fact that Obama deported almost 3 million people during his time in office. The population Trump has targeted appears to be around 1 million illegal immigrants who have criminal records - at least initially. Yes, his criteria and rhetoric are alarming, which is why we are seeing these border crossings in to Canada. But, that aside, his actions have not lived up to his words, which is a pattern consistent with much of his bombast. This trickle may yet turn to a flood and Canada must have a contingency to address this. It seems, premature however to panic about a German situation repeating itself here. I agree with Ms. Wente though about the limits of Canadian hospitality. If Trudeau flubs this test and pursues an "open door" policy that does not respect these limits the backlash will be severe and will have long standing. largely detrimental, repercussions for immigration and refugee policies here.
