Sorry but there really should be no excuse for calling someone either a refugee or asylum seeker when they are coming from the USA!!!
Anyone entering Canada through illegal means really is an illegal immigrant. Those entering Canada are breaking the law when they are sneaking in, what other laws are they willing to break once they get into Canada?
