U.S.-Canada Asylum Treaty Unconstitutional, Judge Finds, Citing 'Cruel' U.S. Behavior

Asylum-seekers walk along Roxham Road near Champlain, N.Y., in August 2017, a popular illegal border crossing into Canada, away from official ports of entry.Asylum-seekers walk along Roxham Road near Champlain, N.Y., in August 2017, a popular illegal border crossing into Canada, away from official ports of entry.In a harsh rebuke of America's treatment of refugees, a Canadian judge has ruled that an asylum treaty with the U.S.

It's a clear penalty imposed on refugees for merely attempting to seek asylum, the judge said."The penalization of the simple act of making a refugee claim is not in keeping with the spirit or the intention of the STCA," McDonald wrote, citing"cruel and unusual detention conditions" upon returning to the U.S.

Nedira Jemal Mustefa, a Muslim woman from Ethiopia, came to the U.S. for medical treatments when she was 11 years old. She entered the country on a visitor's visa and ended up staying for several years, graduating from a Georgia high school in 2015. Mustefa called her time in solitary confinement"a terrifying, isolating and psychologically traumatic experience." She wasn't told how long she would be kept in solitary. She believes the guards were feeding her pork, despite telling them she couldn't consume it for religious reasons. She skipped meals and lost nearly 15 pounds.

I was made for crossing, double-crossing, come acrossing! Come tread on me! All Welcome!* * um, for all of yous, let's do that after the whole covid thing, then come. But refugees, come now, let's work something out!

Canada decided our 2004 asylum treaty w them is UNCONSTITUTIONAL Immigrants fleeing the U.S. will now be alllowed to cross because we are violating international human rights. Constitutional rights are human rights. VoteBlue

America is FULL of illegal immigrants, and Canada could suffer the same burden if this invasion is not quelled!

nprworld Ashamed. :(

they are violating my rights as a US citizen to make me pay for others countries citizens welfare

And another judge will over turn that

We’ve become TrumpsShitholeCountry to the rest of the world.

Disgraceful that they can get up..have breakfast at Denny's..stroll across border and seniors like me have to support them for decades. I know people applying to emigrate here for years legally. This is a mockery of what a refugee really is.

So now they can go to Canada? Great!

timihaworth Happy for the refugees. Deeply ashamed for my country.

Canada’s legal immigration system is meritocracy based. The US has a blended approach. This decision forces Canada to accept the non wealthy too!

Good, Canada can keep them.

Good now maybe they will all go there

You think?

I was afraid it would come to this.

When is NPR going to be defunded?

MaraLiasson Blah, blah, blah, we’ll see how that goes, 🤣

Canada’s immigration is brutal compared to the United States.

SchwartzReports have manipulated the headline & the story of this to make it sound like the US is the bad guy here. Canadian Judge in Canada made this ruling to stop the movement of refugees seeking to move to Canada. The US has done zero wrong.

GOODIE! Another Progressive Judge Shits on America! TRAITOR

I'm surprised France hasn't asked for that big statue back yet.

jacobsoboroff did you see this?

So Canada (the place leftist threaten to go) has been doing this for years, and the U.S. gets shit when it is even proposed? What the hell is going on?

Perhaps we should offer transportation to the Canadian border?

Good luck in Canada. Killed by police

NPRKarens If they are seeking asylum, Why wouldn't they stay in the nation giving them asylum?🤔

The US does.

And this how BLM treats a white child 🤷

Well, Canada is doing a GREAT job taking care of them and sending the refugees to the US would be considered inhumane acts under the Geneva Convention. Oops did the US get rid of that too?

True refugees should be more than happy to stop at the first safe country.

Heh.

It’s happening!

America is a disgrace

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

America should let immigrants pass through to claim asylum in Canada. That's what Mexico does with immigrants from El Salvador and Guatemala.

Wow. How far we have fallen. VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare Biden2020 LandOfTheFree
