The Canadian government has budgeted the sum of $902 million, over a period of five years, to arrest the surge of migrants who illegally cross into the country from the United States of America.
Nigerians make up a sizeable majority of thousands of people who have illegally crossed into Canada from the U.S. to file refugee claims since January 2017.
In the annual budget that was presented by Canada's Finance Minister, Bill Morneau, to the House of Commons on Tuesday, March 19, 2019, $902 million (C$1.18 billion) will be spent over five years, beginning in the 2019-20 fiscal year, on border security and modernisation, and for the asylum system.
