Of course people turned away at the US border remain in the US.

So, as I understand this, people arrive at the border planning to take advantage of Canada’s previously lax asylum rules rather than planning for immigration?

If a person isn’t deemed admissible at the border, the person is not permitted to enter and stays at the point of entry. There is really nothing newsworthy here.

Let's face it. Canada is complicit in global fascism and genocide.
