Americans who claim they are being persecuted by Trump are fleeing to Canada in record numbers
The Daily Mail ^ | 28 March 2026 | ALYSSA GUZMAN

The number of Americans claiming asylum in Canada has jumped dramatically, as voters who dislike Donald Trump and his policies flee north of the border.

In 2025, there were 1,850 asylum applications for Americans seeking to move to Canada - more than double the 700 in 2024, the year Trump won his second presidential election.

Immigration data, viewed by the Daily Mail, shows that US asylum claims are approaching figures not seen since Trump's last term, with a record 2,535 applying for asylum in 2017, at the height of the anti-Trump 'Resistance' movement.

Prior to Trump taking office in 2017, the number of Americans seeking asylum in Canada was only a few hundred each year, but surged into the four figures after the election of the MAGA president.

The first full year of Democrat President Joe Biden's term in office - 2022 - saw 1,140 Americans seeking asylum in Canada.

Numbers then fell sharply, to between 300 and 700 a year for the remainder of Biden's single term in office.

Ryan Rosenberg, a managing partner in Canadian firm Larlee Rosenberg, said he has seen a definite increase in immigration inquiries from Americans since Trump took the White House in 2016 and 2024.

'We definitely saw a massive spike in business,' Rosenberg told the Daily Mail. But this time, he said, the law firm saw inquiries from a 'much wider range of Americans.'

Same type of traitorous scum that populated Canada after the American Revolution...

At least those lucky enough to escape the hangman, who took care of many thousands of the scum who supported the English tyranny...

We need to emulate the original American patriots...

Very disconcerting. Disconcerting as it's not the entire Democrat and Libertarian parties fleeing the country.

Think of it as feral hogs on rural acreage. If you don't get rid of all of them, it's always going to be a problem.

Meanwhile, Alberta and Saskatchewan are signing up in the hundreds of thousands to bring about a vote of resignation from the Canadian confederation.

Both have representatives in Washington discussing future relations/association with the United States. They are discussing very large trade relations including a new pipeline. Ottaway has ruked it illegql but they are ignoring Ottawa.

The word on the street is that British Columbia is in terminal economic condition and may in fact be bankrupt.

So. this article is just balderdash. There will be only remains of the Canadian Federation a year from now

Seems to me Canada is setting up laws to persecute Christians. Seems to me Christians may soon be fleeing Canada to the US?

Antihero: "Nothing in there about them renouncing their citizenship."

Most of them are illegals in the U.S. seeking better benefits from the Canadian commies. It's a lot colder up there, so bring a coat.

In the category of Good News, I saw on FreeRepublic last week that the USG has dropped the cost to renounce US citizenship from over $1k to under $500. I hope as many leftists as possible take advantage of the sale.
