Unsettling Post footage and interviews with US residents along the Canadian border offer a rare glimpse into the thriving migrant smuggling operation that has taken hold up north in addition to the debacle to the south.

...

smugglers have become so rampant that some locals are packing pistols to protect themselves and turning into amateur sleuths to help thwart them.

“Now I’ve got the Border Patrol guys on speed dial,” local Chris Feeley, 52, recently grimly acknowledged.

...

According to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data, the number of migrants illegally entering the US at the northern border last year topped 12,200 — a 240% spike from 2022.

Of those, some 70% of the illegal crossings took place along the 295-mile Swanton Sector, which includes upstate New York, New Hampshire and Vermont.

Illegal crossings at the US’s southern border dwarf those figures, with 2.4 million migrant encounters recorded there in 2023, capping off the year with a record-setting 276,000 encounters in December.

...

The US-Canadian border is nearly three times as long as the border with Mexico, and ports of entry are often understaffed as CBP directs most of its resources to the migrant surge at the southern border.

...

Kaitlynn Pease .. described a regular parade of “getaway vehicles” in the parking lot of the rural filling station, waiting to pick up illegal immigrants who have just made the trek across the border.

“They’re there early in the morning when there’s no traffic. It’s normally around 6 or 7 in the morning,” ...

“Once you see the New Jersey plates, you know they’re a getaway car. Recently, New Jersey and Massachusetts are the big ones coming to pick up the migrants.”

“getaway vehicles”

Are the vehicles white with a Red Cross emblem on the side?

I understand how these illegals are getting into the United States from Mexico. Mexico lets them in as long as they are heading North. Mexico even allows charter flights with no passports from Europe, the Middle East, and China into their country as long as they head to the Northern border and enter the U.S.

But how are these illegals getting into Canada?

Great question.
Makes you wonder how much border patrol and other agencies know. In other words, what kind of back channel deals have been made between Trudeau and Biden administrations.

If you or I tried to travel through Canada without a passport or going through customs, what do you suppose would happen to us. I highly doubt you’d make it very far. Geographically, Canada is big country.

The resident probably will get sued for civil rights violations.

Thanks for that article.

I guess asylum seekers in Canada prefer to try their luck in the warmer climes of the U.S.?

[hecticskeptic]

Sort of appears that way.. Now if PDJT was the president, then they might be thinking that “it’s just too darn hot south of the border anyway....”

[MayflowerMadam]

Catholic Charities, Chamber of Commerce, etc. I’ve heard that the SBC also has some involvement, to, but not sure how, or how blatant it is.

The article says, "experts say migrants who make it to Mexico and have the money for a $350 one-way plane ticket from Mexico City or Cancun to Montreal or Toronto in Canada have caught on to the fact that they’re less likely to be caught along the northern US border."

[Texas resident]

China has done something brilliant. They have bought and paid for the leaders of Canada, The US and Mexico.

Citizen snipers......That’s all I’m gonna say.
