Our border with Canada continues to leak illegal migrants. In FY 2023, Border Patrol officials apprehended 190,000 migrants illegally crossing into the US from Canada, while so far during the first ten months of this fiscal year, 162,865 have been apprehended.
In particular, the 295-mile-wide Swanton Sector — which covers all of Vermont and parts of New York and New Hampshire — is the busiest. During the ten months of FY 2024, Swanton has seen 15,000 apprehensions, the most ever recorded and more than 14,000 over the number recorded in fiscal year 2021. Fifteen thousand is in fact more than the total of the previous 13 years combined.
In addition, close to 1,100 known or suspected terrorists were apprehended between 2021 and 2023 while attempting to enter the northern border.
Just this week, agents arrested two illegal Irish migrants, whose vehicle had become stuck in the mud during the attempt.
Contacted regarding these facts, an administration spokesman said that the so-called “President” has “worked to find bipartisan solutions to secure our border and fix our broken immigration system. . . .”
In other words, nothing new here except more illegals.
