Two US border checks over 90 minutes between open water, non stop ferry rides. Yet our vaunted border patrol can’t seem to be assigned people to work in other, more vulnerable areas.
Oh, by the way, I only got checked once by the Canada border guards and that was once I got to Canada.
Well there is some “anti-American” sentiment among some Canadians but in my experience those people don’t travel to the U.S., so you can pretty much assume Canadian residents who vacation in America are friendly. As to illegals using a Canadian border crossing, it’s just a subset of the larger problem of not having strict enough law enforcement in place, your laws already forbid illegal entry (if the person is not a legitimate tourist intending to return home, or a legal immigrant, or some other person with a legitimate reason to enter the country) then they could be turned back, and the business of claiming asylum could be policed better too, what I would suggest is an interview process where it’s made clear that an unsupported refugee claim would be followed by a $5,000 fine and instant deportation, so the person could self-deport rather than paying presumably a lot more to achieve deportation from America.
I am sure Trump can figure out how to combine existing and any required new legislation to solve future cases but how to find and deport the twenty million illegals already in country? It’s going to be a massive undertaking (no pun intended).
