Illegal Aliens Look to Northern Border to Avoid Trump Crackdown

Illegal aliens are reportedly increasing in numbers at the northern U.S. border as the Trump administration effectively closes the southern border. Numbers are still no where near as large at the northern border as they were at the southern, but those who can get to Canada are trying it as plan B.

Illegal alien crossings in Maine hit their highest level over the last 24 years, as 113 arrests were made in April, according to U.S. Border Patrol and as reported by The National Pulse. Under Biden, the monthly illegal alien encounters were usually between 25 and 50, meaning the current numbers are more than twice or four times as much as the recent status quo.

Border Patrol stated, “Due to the significant increase in arrests, the Houlton Sector coordinated air transport with Immigration and Customs Enforcement – Enforcement Removal Operations (ICE ERO) to transfer 29 apprehended subjects… for further processing.”

The National Pulse detailed:

The rise in crossings comes as migrants from at least 16 countries, including Ecuador, Guatemala, and Mexico, increasingly opt to enter the U.S. via Canada, avoiding the southern border, which President Donald J. Trump is heavily protecting. Ecuadorians led the group, with 42 individuals apprehended, followed by 15 Guatemalans and 12 Mexicans. Six Venezuelans were also detained.

Unfortunately activist judges, including on the Supreme Court, keep slowing deportations. That won’t help deter illegal aliens at the northern border.
