U.S., Canada expand deal to reroute asylum-seekers amid rise in border crossings
For the past two decades, the so-called
"safe third country" agreement between the two nations has only applied at official border crossings, meaning that American and Canadian authorities have not been able to turn away asylum-seekers who cross into each country illegally.
But under the deal brokered this week, the accord will apply to migrants who cross the U.S.-Canada border in between official border crossings,
a change that Canadian officials have long been pushing for, the two U.S. officials said

Nearly
40,000 asylum-seekers crossed into Canada without authorization in 2022, the vast majority of them along an unofficial crossing known as Roxham Road that connects New York with the Quebec province, Canadian
government figures show. Another 9,500 migrants crossed into Canada in January and February alone.
In contrast, Border Patrol processed 3,577 migrants who crossed into the U.S. illegally from Canada in 2022, according to
government data. While illegal crossings into the U.S. along the northern border have increased in recent months, rising to 628 in February, they remain well below the migration levels recorded along the southern border, where thousands of migrants are processed each day.

As part of the deal, Canada will also commit to welcoming
15,000 migrants from the Western Hemisphere over the next year through legal channels

The efforts to deter illegal crossings have been paired with expanded opportunities for
migrants to enter the U.S. legally, including a
mobile app for vulnerable asylum-seekers in Mexico and
a sponsorship program that allows up to
30,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela to fly to the U.S. each month.

1) 40,000 migrants into Canada in 2022, only 3500 into US from Canada.
2) Canada has been pushing to be able to enforce non-border crossing arrests, not US.
3) Canada is only allowing 15,000 ALL YEAR.
4) US 30,000 per MONTH (360,0000) just from this new app and sponsorship program. Millions on top of that.
