Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Endless wait? Honduran refugee Maria Rivas and her son Alexander wait for permission in Plattsburg, N.Y., earlier this year to enter Canada. But the numbers are dwindling as word reaches the hopefuls that Canada has shut its doors. Some blame a new policy that forces refugees to waid outside the country for permission.
