Illegal crossings from Canada rising nearly as rapidly as at U.S. border with Mexico

Illegal crossings at the U.S.-Canada border have risen by 91 percent compared to the previous year according to Customs and Border Protection (CBP), even as President Donald Trump remains fixated on building a wall and adding additional agents to prevent migrants from crossing the southern U.S. border.

In fiscal year 2017, immigration agents detained a total of 540 people compared to 960 in fiscal year 2018. The largest spike occurred along the Swanton border patrol section, which includes the borders of New Hampshire, New York, and Vermont, where 548 people were apprehended in 2018, up from 165 in all of 2017.

TP

You know usually Trump has some kind of financial reason somewhere in whatever he does. I bet if a reporter was to dig deep enough they could find some kind of gain in the actual building of the wall along the Southern Border, maybe indirect, but somewhere.

Half a dozen cops all simultaneously in justified fear for their lives shoot twnty times at a black man armed with a CELLPHONE? You think that's justified?too many lethally false bad snap decisions involving black people result in innocent deaths. That is the simple fact.And that's why Black Lives Matter exists.

too many snap decisions

That has always been part of a police officers job. Now, who are lack people? Are you one? You lack facts.

It's not part of a cop's job to kill an innocent person. That's what happens too many time, and that's the problem

You do mean Trayvon, I hope. A thug getting high and looking for trouble got the trouble he wanted.

But it is his/her job to die on duty protecting your ungrateful ass if need be, isn't it?

Trayvon was not s thug, he was not high. He was racially profiled, ran away from confrontation, was chased down, grabbed and murdered by an alleged neighborhood watch goon who violated all the rules of the neighborhood watch. ////Thank all the gods Zimmerman has repeatedly exposed himself as the ass he is and will never never get the job of his dreams as a cop. No force in the country in their right mind would ever hire him.

I wouldn't say that.

Btw, it's not CJ's use of pink that stops me reading him it's the fact that he only posts ****, some racist ****, some homophobic ****, some xenophobic ****, and some lickspittle ****. Doesn't matter what it is, it's all ****.

more than that are coming from the US into Canada

Since the start of 2017, however, an influx of people has come by land, crossing the border from the United States between official entry points.

Most of these crossings occurred in Quebec, with 1,179 arrivals in June. Although these numbers have subsided – in June they fell to a one-year low – since the start of last year more than 31,000 people have crossed into Canada this way. Their arrival corresponds with the election of U.S. President Donald Trump,

those 31,000 are on top of the ~50,000 refugee claimants and regular immigrants we accepted

most things here, we expect to see a 10:1 ratio, given the populations of the two countries

between border crossing immigration from the US into Canada is on a completely different scale these days. makes the old draft dodger numbers look tiny - and makes #45's fuss about the US southern border look, well, fussy.

@coldjoint,

I probably know personally and like more cops than you do and appreciate their job. Whioih has nothing to do with the fact that there have been an unconscionable number of bad shootings and bad confrontations with black people, As witness, again, yesterday in Boulder where a black man picking up trash in his own yard came perilously near being shot by a cop's drawn gun.

He was both. The whitewashing by the media did not work and Zimmerman was found innocent. And he was not a white man, that pissed the MSM off too.

ain't that the truth.

@izzythepush,

I do most of my posting on my smart phone too. It really stinks as I can only see about 4 rows of text and only half the screen without scrolling.

Hence most of my posts are quite brief as I get frustrated and stop typing.

@coldjoint,

Wrong on all counts as usual. Zimmerman was not found innocent. He was found not guilty. There is a huge difference between the two. He was found not guilty because there was not sufficient evidence to convict beyond a doubt, largely because he murdered the other person who could prove he lied. As the jurors said, they thought he got away with murder.

They thought it was a gun.

Like I said, if a police officer is yelling at you to show your hands, drop whatever is in them, no matter how benign, and show him empty hands.

The BLM movement is expressly built around protest against justified shootings where a black person was trying to murder a police officer.

His attempt to murder the captain of the neighborhood watch shows otherwise.

The physical evidence shows very clearly that Mr. Zimmerman never chased down or grabbed Trayvon, that in fact he even stopped following Trayvon at a distance when the dispatcher said that it was a bad idea.

Rather, after Mr. Zimmerman stopped following Trayvon, Trayvon doubled back and jumped Mr. Zimmerman and tried to beat him to death.
