I'm not sure about the laughingstock comment. With regard to the situation at Emerson, at Lacolle, and in southern British Columbia, where there have been a few border crossings, the fact of the matter is that this has been examined very carefully with personal visits, physical visits, by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, and it has commented that the behaviour of Canadians has been exemplary both in the application of Canadian law and in the implementation of Canada's international treaty obligations.
