Trudeau was one of many world leaders to speak out against Trump’s xenophobic refugee restrictions.
As new U.S. immigration restrictions targeting refugees and citizens from several Muslim-majority countries fueled an international frenzy of panic and confusion, Justin Trudeau sent a clear message to those affected: “Canadians will welcome you.”
The Canadian prime minster’s commitment to supporting refugees and newcomers has been clear since he took office in November 2015 and vowed to dramatically expand the country’s Syrian refugee program. To date, his government has accepted 39,671 men, women and children from the war-torn nation ― some of whom were personally greeted by Trudeau upon arrival.
“To those fleeing persecution, terror and war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith,” he wrote on Facebook and Twitter. “Diversity is our strength.”

Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau. I can't imagine Trump "personally greeting" any immigrants like you are doing. America seems to have forgotten that it's also a nation of immigrants.
