Nine
asylum-seekers, including four children, barely made it across the
Canadian border on Friday as a U.S. border patrol officer tried to stop
them and a Reuters photographer captured the scene.
As
a U.S. Customs and Border Patrol officer seized their passports and
questioned a man in the front passenger seat of a taxi that had pulled
up to the border in Champlain, New York, four adults and four young
children fled the cab and ran to Royal Canadian Mounted Police on the
other side.
One by one they
scrambled across the snowy gully separating the two countries. RCMP
officers watching from the other side helped them up, lifting the
younger children and asking a woman, who leaned on her fellow passenger
as she walked, if she needed medical care.
