("A friend gave her the number of a driver, who charged $700 for the one-way trip...Canada’s new rules left a loophole, however. Although migrants who are caught within 14 days of arrival can be sent back to the United States, those who can prove a longer presence in Canada—using receipts, a time-stamped photograph, or some other evidence—are allowed to remain. Canada does not send deportation flights to Haiti because it is too risky, so someone who crosses illegally and hides in a safehouse for two weeks can stay in the country and qualify for a work permit.")

This is a reaction I frankly should have expected.

This is similar to why so many builders make Luxury apartments and don’t even try to fill them with residents.
