The Immigration Department spent the equivalent of over $130 per day on hotels in Niagara Falls for illegal immigrants seeking asylum in Canada, according to an Inquiry of Ministry recently tabled in the House of Commons.

The department wrote in the Inquiry that some of the illegal immigrants spent up to three or four months in the Niagara Falls hotels paid for by the federal government, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.
