Description

Canada and the U.S. agreed to close the border at Roxham Road in Quebec, where more than 40,000 people crossed to claim asylum here last year. We talk to Frances Ravensbergen with Bridges Not Borders, a volunteer group that supports people who cross at Roxham Road; Mireille Paquet, Concordia University Research Chair on the Politics of Immigration; and John Manley, a former deputy prime minister.
