The US and Canada are set to announce an agreement that allows them to turn back unauthorized border crossers, amid a surge in migration to both countries. The move addresses tensions between the US and Canada over the flow of asylum seekers across their borders. The deal permits Canada to return immigrants who cross into the country through Roxham Road, an unofficial entry point into Quebec from New York, which is popular among migrants seeking asylum in Canada. The US, for its part, has been grappling with increased migration from Canada. The resolution is part of wider efforts to curb the rising flow of such people at Roxham Road. Under the agreement, Canada has pledged 15,000 slots on its new refugee program to migrants fleeing violence, persecution, and economic devastation in South and Central America, reducing the pressure for unauthorized access to the United States from Mexico. The accord marks a significant contrast to the frosty relationship that characterized former President Trump’s time in office, which saw a number of issues, including movement across the border, cause friction between him and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
