Mr. Speaker, if people are afraid of being deported by Trump, they might want to leave the United States. Many may consider heading north rather than south. Let us not forget that the last time Trump threatened to deport lots of people, it triggered the problems at Roxham Road, the consequences of which are still being felt seven years later.
Governing means looking ahead. It is not enough to answer “yes”. Eight days away from the election, without presuming to know its outcome, can the government assure us that it has a plan to deal with a massive influx of asylum seekers, rather than simply replying “yes”?
