since you can't tell by looking at a person if they're legal or not and asking out right is none of anyone's business, my general rule is to treat all people with basic respect and dignity. 

That is exactly what we say as well. We treat people like how we want to be treated.

The agreement was set up with Canada in 2002 and came into effect 2004 which prevented them crossing the border legally. I bet that if they had walked up to the Canadian border they would have been turned away and that is why they decided to cross illegally in to Canada.

 

If they had try cross in July and turned up in Canada looking all summery they would have been sent right back to the US. The only reason they have been allowed to stay in this situation is due to their hard luck story which they brought upon themselves.
