Roxham road, baby.

An absolutely astonishing number of migrants cross there every year. Like tens of thousands if not over 100,000. If they cross at the nearby Champlain Border Crossing they get rejected because they’re not entering Canada legally, however if they WALK across the border at an illegal crossing, like Roxham Road, they can claim “Asylum” when they get arrested. As far as I know over 65% of Asylum seekers that cross at Roxham ultimately are granted Asylum, so it’s not like they’re lying. They’re mostly fleeing oppression in South America or Africa. But it’s a huge burden on the Canadian legal system and social services.

Naturally, the US government has been aware of Roxham Road for a decade, but why arrest these people on our side? Then they can claim Asylum here and they become our problem. So the US has turned a blind eye to these migrants, letting Canada get stuck with them.

Seems Trudeau has had enough.
