Anyone "fleeing" the USA due to uneasiness over Trump's policies should be turned away IMMEDIATELY, regardless of where they crossed the border, if they are already in the USA legally. They shouldn't be allowed to apply as refugees, nor be allowed to languish on the taxpayers' dime in Canada while waiting for their claims be heard. They may go back to the US or elsewhere & apply to come to Canada legally.  Hopefully, that would send a message to would-be refugees & also keep the backlog from increasing by too much.
