Biden border crisis continues with growing concerns about vast sections of the northern US border being unguarded.
The question is why anyone would want to leave Canada after going there? It was recently named one of the best countries in the world.
The New York Post has an exclusive story about how the US border patrol situation in Canada is lacking due to the crisis on the southern Mexico side. CBP confirmed hundreds of agents are being reassigned in response to the surge in recent months.
Via CBP spokeswoman Stephanie Malin: “Due to fluctuations along the Southwest Border, U.S. Customs and Border Protection has deployed more than 300 Border Patrol agents primarily from northern and coastal sectors to support operations.”
A reminder of how bad things are at the US - Mexico side.
The Biden administration is trying to hit up everyone. States like Nebraska and Iowa publicly refused to house migrant children on the grounds of saving resources for their own constituents. The White House even tried enticing federal employees with four months paid leave if they volunteered at the US - Mexico border.
A source within the US - Canada border patrol had this to say to the outlet: “We were handicapped before the latest crisis at the southern border. Now you’re taking away the wheelchair. I definitely see this as being a security issue.”
A second Border Patrol agent serving in the north concurred. Cuts to staff power include losing key boat patrols that went along the St. Lawrence River catching illegal migrants passing through.
New York Rep. Elise Stefanik is relevant to this situation because her Congressional district includes many Canada border zones. She told the New York Post that Border Patrol whistleblowers are very worried about how few people they've got around, now.
“The few agents that remain are forced to virtually process illegal immigrants in Texas, leaving only a handful to patrol the entire New York Border and zero to patrol our waterways,” Stefanik said. She blames President Biden for putting America in a weak position across the board.
While Vice-President Kamala Harris is celebrating their arrangement with Central American countries to curb future migration, for now we’re still stick in this situation.
