A U.S. border patrol sector in Vermont has apprehended a record number of attempted illegal crossings from Canada in a single month.
Officials in the U.S. Border Patrol’s (USBP) Swanton Sector in Vermont saw 1,109 apprehensions in March 2024, the highest recorded by the sector in a single month.
Asylum claims by international students have risen more than 1,500 per cent in the past five years, figures obtained by The Globe and Mail show, as experts warn that the study-permit system is being exploited as a way to enter and remain in Canada.
The sharp increase is particularly acute at colleges, where claims at some schools have climbed in excess of 4,000 per cent since 2018. Students at major universities, however, tend to lodge fewer claims than at colleges, the figures show.
It’s an abuse of Canadians by the Liberal government.
A 35% reduction in the number of permits granted to foreign students, imposition of an entry visa for Mexican travelers, questioning of the “massive” regularization of hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants… Under pressure from a public increasingly wary of migratory flows, the Canadian government has, since the beginning of the year, stepped up measures designed to show that it does not intend to be “overwhelmed.” These measures are at odds with the image of a country traditionally open to immigration (mainly economic, i.e. selective) and to a welcoming policy that Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau considers necessary “to ensure the country’s long-term growth.” Some 985,000 new permanent immigrants are expected by 2025.
Sociologist and professor in the Faculty of Education at the University of Ottawa, Christian Bergeron, works on models for integrating minorities into society and has observed changes in public opinion regarding migration. Here, he explains how the nature of the immigration debate has changed in Canada, to the point of challenging one of the country’s founding principles: multiculturalism.
The debate about Multiculturalism is over. It is settled, it sucks.
On a blustery morning last month, volunteer Adriana Jasso raised the flaps to a tent propped up against the massive steel bars of the fence that straddles this stretch of the US-Mexico border. On her side, plastic tables were piled with apples, packets of hot chocolate, mylar blankets and stacks of ponchos – supplies waiting for hungry and tired migrants who had travelled for weeks, or even months, to reach California.
On the other side, visible through the gaps in the towering barrier, a group of more than 100 people – from countries including Ecuador, Colombia, China and Rwanda – huddled together, waiting to be let through on to US soil. This border point south of San Diego is now one of the busiest along the entire US-Mexico frontier, which stretches around 1,950 miles (3,140km) from here to eastern Texas and the Gulf of Mexico.
Imagine moving to another country for a better life and going out of your way to make everyone hate you. A toxic combination of low IQ and mental illness caused by generations of inbreeding. https://t.co/fiXsXKrHb2

The federal government’s decision to bring in fewer newcomers in the next few years due to the housing crunch could create labour shortages and inflationary pressures on some areas of the economy if the right balance isn’t maintained, says an analysis by Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.

Videos of massive lineups for job fairs and open calls in the GTA are commonplace on social media.
It’s a testament to just how competitive and exhausting the job market has become in recent years.
And the pricks in Ottawa still lie about the need for mass immigration.
A group of black residents tore into Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson on Wednesday over his plans to spend an additional $70 million to feed and house illegal aliens, and to drive their point home, they wore former President Donald Trump’s signature MAGA hats during a meeting at city hall.
Among people who immigrated to Canada in the last decade, more think Canada’s latest immigration targets will bring in too many people, a newly released Leger poll suggests, while fewer recent newcomers think the plan will bring in the right amount of people or not enough.
These are fliers at an NGO camp in Mexico encouraging illegals to vote for Biden.
The camp has ties to both DHS Secretary Mayorkas and George Soros.

The thing about the Overton Window is that yes, it’s a way to make the formerly unacceptable (open borders in which millions of invaders enter the country with no recourse) seem acceptable, but it leads to backlashes that make the formerly unacceptable seem acceptable in the other direction.
In a Calgary warehouse almost as big as eight football fields, an army of robots whir about, carrying massive quantities of merchandise bound for Walmart Canada customers.
Some of the robots zip around the hulking facility transporting pallets of merchandise fresh off delivery trucks. Another resembling a giant arm moves the pallets onto conveyor belts. A third group are labellers.
Together, they shave down the time it takes to get products from trailers into the facility by 90 per cent — and their overlord, Walmart Canada, hopes this is just the start. It plans to bring robots to Mississauga and Cornwall, Ont., distribution centres over the next five years.
Will they be forced to have diverse robots? Like a Trannybot?
OTTAWA—The federal government is revamping its housing efforts with a new, multi-billion dollar plan based on a bold and politically-significant premise: this is how the Trudeau Liberals will help “solve” Canada’s housing crisis.
Released Friday, the new plan capped off the government’s pre-budget rollout of new housing measures over the past two weeks, and contained a suite of spending and policy changes aimed at spurring construction and helping those who are struggling to buy homes, pay rent, and find shelter from the streets.
Garbage. Canada lacks the capacity to build the number of homes needed and until and unless they turn off the immigration tap it’s just BS.
Canada needs a new approach to the housing crisis because we’re spinning our wheels in solving it.
For the next few years we must reduce our immigration intake, following the example of other immigration-friendly countries.
In doing so, we would finally address the demand side of the housing equation, after fixating with increased supply.

When the meatpacking giant, Tyson Foods, announced plans last month to shutter its pork plant in Perry, Iowa and lay-off all 1,200 employees, it brought rare attention to one of the most influential, less scrutinised, dynamics of America’s mass migration debate. That is, the role played by large, politically connected corporations seeking to blunt wage growth.
