Migrants Flee North as Trump’s Crackdown Shifts Illegal Border Crossings to Canada
A striking shift in migration patterns has emerged as more migrants are now fleeing into Canada from the United States rather than attempting to cross southward. Sources told The Post that President Trump’s renewed crackdown on illegal immigration has led to a significant increase in northbound crossings, with migrants opting to "self-deport" rather than face the risk of being apprehended by U.S. immigration authorities. Homeland Security sources confirm that migrants are now running scared with Trump back in office. In a remote area of Washington state, border agents are seeing an average of five migrants illegally crossing into Canada each day. Even before the new administration fully took over, the numbers were already rising. Official data from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police shows that 40 migrants crossed illegally from Washington into British Columbia in January, while Border Patrol agents in the U.S. recorded 30 crossings in the opposite direction during the same period. Many of those now heading north had initially entered the U.S. from Mexico and had obtained some form of temporary status while awaiting court decisions on their immigration cases. However, fearing that their cases may not be ruled in their favor, they are making desperate attempts to reach Canada before U.S. authorities can detain and deport them. “They technically have some sort of status as of right now, and the agents do know they’re intending to cross illegally into Canada,” said a source. “But they’re also trying to get out of the United States to avoid any immigration consequences that may happen if their case isn’t adjudicated in their favor.” Even the most remote sections of the 5,500-mile-long U.S.-Canada border are now witnessing an increase in northbound migration. In Alberta, Canada, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police recently encountered nine migrants, including children, braving the harsh February winter to cross from the U.S. The New York Times reported that Canadian authorities have caught around 20 illegal migrants in Alberta this year, compared to just seven in the previous year. This trend marks a dramatic reversal from the situation under the Biden administration, during which record numbers of migrants surged illegally into the U.S. from Canada. Federal data shows that roughly 23,700 illegal migrants were apprehended crossing from Canada into the U.S. last fiscal year, a massive jump from the 2,200 recorded in 2022. However, these figures still pale in comparison to the more than one million illegal crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border last year. In response, the Trump administration has placed pressure on Canada to bolster its border security, warning that failure to address the rising migrant flow and illicit fentanyl smuggling could result in 25% tariffs. In turn, Canadian border authorities have intensified efforts to crack down on fraudulent asylum claims and have taken steps to prevent migrants from exploiting lax visa policies. Canada has pledged $900 million to strengthen its border security efforts, including the acquisition of two Black Hawk helicopters and drones. Additionally, visa restrictions have been tightened to close loopholes that previously allowed migrants to fly into Canada before attempting to cross illegally into the U.S. As both countries step up their enforcement measures, the shifting migration dynamics signal a new era in border security, with Canada now becoming an increasingly sought-after refuge for those seeking to avoid U.S. immigration consequences.
