I have a lot of issues with Trudeau but the one thing I have to give him is that he can really deal with Trump well

Side note but since when is Canada a major source of drug cartels and fentanyl production lol?

You're obviously right, but made the mistake of actually thinking logically. What actually happened here is that the very stable genius just blamed another problem on immigration because otherwise his donors (was about to write friends but these people don't actually have friends) would maybe be unable to buy a fourth yacht if god forbid they were held responsible for their greed-fueled actions that destroyed families.

It is probably true that fentanyl is smuggled into the States, but that is only part of the issue and not the root cause for the crisis and not related to immigration except for the fact that someone or something crosses a border. It's hard to tell if it's just his racism / xenophobia or if he actually doesn't understand, as he also doesn't seem to grasp that the concept of granting shelter from hardship isn't the same as a mental institution, even though they're both called "asylum".
