Asylum seeker claims in Canada reach record high

With Canada's recent population surge being mostly tied to immigration, the federal government has made some policy changes to try to crack down on how people enter Canada.

The influx of migrants has become one of the thorniest political issues between Ottawa and the provinces.

Mackenzie Gray explains how those changes haven't stopped asylum seeker claims from reaching record highs and why those numbers could grow if former U.S. president Donald Trump returns to the White House.
