US secures deal with Canada to return illegal migrants crossing northern border

US secures deal with Canada to return illegal migrants crossing northern border

The United States and Canada have reached an agreement to allow both countries to turn away migrants who cross illegally at the northern U.S. border, a U.S. official confirmed to Fox News Digital on Thursday.

The deal is set to be announced Friday by President Biden and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who are meeting in Ottawa.

The agreement will mean that migrants who attempt to cross illegally between ports of entry into either country will be returned, which officials believe will deter irregular migration at the U.S.-Canada border.

The agreement, first reported by the L.A. Times, marks an update to the Safe Third County Agreement established by the two nations in 2004, which required migrants to claim asylum at a country through which they passed — but did not apply to those who entered illegally.

Additionally, Canada will announce a commitment to accept an additional 15,000 migrants over the next year from the Western Hemisphere, as part of its commitments made under the Los Angeles Declaration last year — which committed nations to a regional response to the migration crisis.

Such a move would be accepted to lessen the pressure facing the U.S. southern border, which has faced a historic migrant surge since 2021.

The move comes amid an increase in migrant encounters at the northern border which, while not as substantial as the surge at the southern border, has left some authorities overwhelmed.

There were over 109,000 migrant encounters at the northern border in FY 2022, up from 27,000 in FY 2021.  The border, which is 5,525 miles, only has 115 ports of entry. 

Fox News recently reported that Border Patrol was appealing for volunteers to deal with the surge, which was attributed to ‘Mexican migrants with no legal documents.’

The diplomatic agreement also marks the latest move by the administration to crack down on illegal border crossings. With the looming end of Title 42 expulsions in May, the administration has proposed a rule that would go into effect before then and would make migrants automatically ineligible for asylum if they have crossed illegally and have failed to claim asylum in a country through which they have passed.
