This article describes that many illegal immigrants came to the USA, but were arrested because they had criminal records. I think that the US did a good thing, because these people could've been a threat to security. But I wonder why those people would've came to the US even though they knew they might be thrown in jail? I think that they were wanted and they thought that if they could make it to the US whoever was hunting them might get lost on the trail. This is actually a rather strategic move. Because the US is a rather populated country, and it is also a free country. This means that if you can get there safely, you can make a new identity for yourself and start your life over again.

This is rather like what happened to Celia. She was living a rather bad life, and thought that if she could escape to the US, her life would be better. I think that might be what is happening with these criminals. They might be trying to escape their past life (for whatever reason), and come to the US with the hopes to rebuild their life, and live better than they did before.

Though some questions that I have are:
-What will happen to these people, will they get deported, go to jail, have a trial....
-Has something like this ever happened in Canada before?
-What were their motives for coming to the US?
