Looks like a religious revival meeting. Poor babies now have to wait forever for their Canadian social benefits. Breaks your heart, doesn’t it?

Canada’s refugee system was struggling to process thousands of applications even before 3,500 asylum seekers began crossing the U.S. border on foot in January. It lacks the manpower to complete security screenings for claimants and hear cases in a timely manner.
