Keeping you in: Biden, Trudeau Work to Stop Unofficial Border Crossings

The devil in the details reveal

Trudeau is A LOT tougher than Biden on illegals.

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.

If you have ever been to Maine or any northern border state for that matter there is no way to stop cossings. It's just miles and miles of nothing and there is no way to stop people from just walking across.

Ask the American Indian how "open borders" worked out for them.

No Major difference in stopping it.

The crossings will still be happening.

There is border patrol across all of it, especially on the Canadian side. I've been there. Been told about it by backwoods locals.
Again, the emphasis is on Canadian side. Just like it was here.

I can't really think of any where I would want to go, practically speaking, even if I were prohibited from leaving. There's not a country on earth that either:

A) Has more freedom (in general) than the US
B) Is outside the reach of the US (just ask Assange)
C) Doesn't have mobs/warlords/cartels roaming the streets acting as de facto governments

All of the major countries are out. Maybe . . . some atoll somewhere that has a few palm trees and indigenous tribes that still practice cannibalism, oh and must also not have any resources that the USA would want (that's an automatic 'you just wasted your time moving').

It's either bunker down or bust for me.
