This video shows some Nigerian illegal immigrants insisting on crossing into Canada.
This group of Nigerians — about 12 of them — have made their way to the start of Plattsbugh's pipeline to Canada. It's a one way-route out of the U.S. at an unofficial border crossing that the Canadian government can't seem to plug.
It is the busiest crossing in Canada and growing still. In August, despite government efforts to staunch the flow, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada says that 5,530 more asylum seekers entered Quebec near Plattsburgh, nearly double those in July and bringing the total in 2017 to 11,896.

"We know. We want to come into Canada. Canada will help us. We have nowhere else to go," members of the group yell back.
"We believe in Canada,"
shouts one man, as one by one they wrestle their suitcases through the dirt to the waiting RCMP. The single mother with four kids travelled from Philadelphia to Manhattan. She then spent six hours on the bus to upstate New York and another 30 minutes by taxi to the dead end road at the border.
Steps away is Canada. She's almost crying as she blurts out her story: Almost a year in the United States, no legal papers, her last landlord told her to move on, she's had to beg for money. She says ''we've been hearing" about this pipeline and she's determined to get into Canada to apply for refugee status.
Quote
"I left Nigeria with frustration.... In Africa, they want them to go to Arabic school. At a tender age, they will give them to a man. I don't want that to happen
." When asked whether she believes she'll be able to stay in Canada, she says defiantly:

"I can work, I'm an African woman. If I see a job, I will do it. I want a better life for my children."

People will wake up, leave their countries to turn a second class citizen elsewhere and when it boomerang, they start giving excuses and stories. Forcing Arabic on her kids cause she knows its a Christian county. It is well. I wish them the best of luck
