While significant @CBP resources were diverted to Mayorkas’ crisis at the Southwest border, the Northern border saw a hit to operational readiness becoming a hot spot for illegal crossings & overwhelming our dedicated Border Patrol agents who serve as the last line of defense. https://t.co/Po9y4dXFGa

You’d think that Canada flying in immigrants and then sending them over the US border would be considered an act of war.
It was called that when Belarus did it to Poland.
More than two dozen Border Patrol officers have been transferred to the northern border to respond to a historic spike in the number of Mexican immigrants crossing into the United States from Canada, according to a report.
Customs and Border Protection has assigned 25 extra agents to a busy section of the Canadian frontier that borders New York, Vermont and New Hampshire, NBC News reported on Monday, citing an agency spokesperson.
Some of the reassigned agents were pulled from their previous duties on the US-Mexican border, the report said.
“While the apprehension numbers are small compared to other areas with irregular migration flows, Swanton Sector apprehensions constitute a large change in this area,” the CBP spokesperson told the network.
“The deployed team will serve as a force multiplier in the region and assist to deter and disrupt human smuggling activities being conducted in the Swanton Sector area of responsibility,” the person added.
A CBP spokesperson said the temporary deployment of agents from areas “not experiencing an influx” to the Swanton Sector began Monday “due to migration fluctuations along the northern border.”
The Swanton Sector comprises 24,000 square miles and stretches 295 miles along the US-Canada border, the longest international frontier in the world.
Since Oct. 1, 2022, apprehensions have surged 846% in the sector over the same period 12 months earlier, CBP stats show.
In January of this year, the Swanton Sector recorded 367 apprehensions and encounters despite sub-freezing temperatures in the region — a rate that far exceeded the 344 apprehensions in the same month over the past 12 years combined.
In January 2022, for example, just 24 migrants were stopped in the sector.
There’s something almost sad about these people coming to America.
Why would anyone want to be involved in what we’ve got going on in this country?
