Former top aide Peter Wilkinson, who served as chief of staff to Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly, warns that Canada must fortify its border security in anticipation of potential mass migration from the United States. With Trump’s proposed deportation of eleven million undocumented migrants looming, Wilkinson emphasizes Canada’s limited capacity to absorb large numbers of refugees. He expresses concern that such an influx could overwhelm the country’s healthcare and social welfare systems, potentially disrupting Canada’s traditionally stable immigration consensus. The situation presents an unprecedented challenge for Canadian border management and immigration policy.
