While #migrants #RiskTheirLives in the parched, arid region of the #Mexico - #US #border , the journey south from #Quebec to the #NortheasternUS is similarly #dangerous & people are in #danger of #FreezingToDeath in the bitter climate.
#SafeThirdCountryAgreement is a #LegalPact between #US & #Canada - ppl seeking #RefugeeStatus must apply in 1st country they arrive in. #Trudeau called for #renegotiation of #agreement .
