Most of the new arrivals are Haitians who face expulsion from the United States at the end of the year. Then, temporary asylum granted to 60,000 Haitians affected by a devastating 2010 earthquake is due to expire.
Their numbers have soared from about 400 in May to 3,800 in the first weeks of August.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has often touted Canada's immigration and refugee system, saying at the start of the year: "To all those fleeing persecution, terror and war, Canadians will welcome you."
But as officials struggle to keep pace with the burgeoning number of arrivals, opposition politicians and anti-immigration groups have fueled a backlash with calls to close the border to walk-in asylum seekers.
They want to freeload off anyone who will take them in.

I hear on the grapevine they are going for a moat with sharks and orcas.
Now is the time to be friendly, you can take what they dig up and move it to the Southern border to build the wall.
3,800 is small potatoes compared to what is coming.
Canada, you need a huge backlash or it will be Europe all over again.

Suck 'em up, Buttercup.
If it ends at 60K, the dispersion may keep your country's society from being fundamentally changed. If another million follow them in ... well ... then you'll know how we feel.

There's 60,000 more behind them. The only chance Canada has is an early winter.
I wonder what Al Gore is betting on? Ahhhhahahahaha!!
On Thursday, Transportation Minister Marc Garneau warned that getting into Canada "is not an automatic ticket to being accepted here as a refugee."
"Those who might wish to seek asylum (must) fully understand the rules under which we operate, which is that unless you are being persecuted or fleeing terror or war, you would not qualify as a refugee," he said.
