Canada's Army Builds Tent Camp For Haitian Asylum-Seekers Arriving From U.S.
Crossings into Quebec have spiked, as Haitians who fled after the 2010 quake face an uncertain legal future in America. Soldiers are building a shelter to house up to 500 people awaiting processing.
The Canadian military is building a temporary shelter near the border with the United States, to accommodate hundreds of asylum-seekers crossing illegally from the U.S. into Quebec.
Most of those arrivals are Haitians who were admitted to the U.S. after the earthquake in 2010, and whose future legal status in America is unclear.
