Every day since the beginning of the year, over 150 migrants walk or are driven up a long dirt road in upstate New York to a small ditch and a white concrete obelisk marking the border between the United States and Canada. There, on Roxham Road, they will illegally cross over the ditch into the small Quebec municipality of St-Bernard-de-Lacolle to make an asylum claim in Canada. They’re part of a growing wave of migrants from every corner of the world walking over the border at Roxham Road that began in 2017, and is showing no signs of slowing down.
