From there, migrants hire cabs to take them on the 30-mile trip to cross the Canadian border via Roxham Road...

Under the Safe Third Country agreement, signed by the US and Canada in 2002, migrants seeking asylum must file their claim in the first country they enter, whether it is the US or Canada. But the agreement does not cover unofficial border entry points, such as Roxham Road...

Not a lot of Spanish speaking individuals in Quebec.
I wonder how Juan and Pedro will do in a province with people who treat you like crap if you ONLY can speak English?
