New Mexico rep to introduce bill offering asylum to Canadian truckers protesting vaccine mandates
Rep. Yvette Herrell (R-N.M.) said on Saturday that she would be introducing legislation that would grant temporary asylum to those involved in the Canadian trucker protests.
“Just as we provide asylum for political prisoners, we should do the same for truckers who have been subjected to violence, had their property confiscated, and their bank accounts frozen by a government that is quickly becoming the embarrassment of the free world,” Herrell
said in a statement on Twitter.
“I am introducing legislation that would temporarily grant asylum to innocent Canadian protesters who are being persecuted by their own government. We cannot be silent as our neighbors to the north are treated so badly,” she added.
Between Friday and Saturday, officials said that 170 people were arrested in Ottawa in connection to the demonstrations that took place against COVID-19 protocol measures in Canada, The Associated Press
reported.

So, asylum for making the truckers get the shot or isolate when they come back into Canada? This makes them political prisoners? Or having them obey health mandates that all others have to abide by (which the truckers could possibly flout). Treated badly? Sounds like a Donald phrase. The truckers are still free to protest the mandates. Hurting Canada others financially while doing it? Uh, no.
