I noted my cousin's harsh tendency toward fellow Haitians trying to claim refugee status during the Trump era because they were afraid of being deported from the US back to Haiti. His view was that it wasn't Canada's problem to solve if the US didn't want them.
FWIW, I felt far more sympathetic given the current state that Haiti is in right now...
