The southern border isn’t the only problem…
According to a New York Post report, the number of illegal migrant crossings at the northern border has increased 50-fold under President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
This year, illegal crossings surpassed the number for the last 17 years combined.
From The New York Post:
The Border Patrol agents in the Swanton sector — which includes more than 200 miles of land border between Maine and the St. Lawrence River in New York — apprehended more than 19,000 illegal migrants from 97 different countries in fiscal year 2024, the Border Patrol chief for the sector, Robert Garcia, said this week.
The number of crossings from Canada is smaller compared to the southern border, where 54,000 illegal border crossings were recorded in September alone. However, they have been increasing at an incredible pace.
In fiscal year 2021, just 365 illegal crossers were caught in the sector. The numbers climbed to more than 1,000 in 2022, and then nearly 7,000 last fiscal year.
Across the whole northern border, crossings have increased massively in recent years — with nearly 190,000 illegal migrants caught crossing from Canada in fiscal year 2023.
Chief Border Patrol Agent Robert Garcia shared the news on X, saying they’ve apprehended more than 19,222 subjects from 97 different countries in the last year.
