Well, now America knows where to send all your illegals. Montreal is willing to take them off of your hands.
Montreal passes motion to become 'sanctuary city' for undocumented immigrants
The City of Montreal unanimously approved a motion on Monday declaring itself a "sanctuary city" for unauthorized immigrants.
The motion includes provisions to ensure undocumented people can obtain services without fear of deportation.
Mayor Denis Coderre said the move is more than symbolic and will help protect and assist the most vulnerable without compromising security.
The designation comes as the province is dealing with an increase in the number of asylum seekers crossing the border illegally from the United States.
