More Migrants Apprehended in Northern Border Sector in 10 Months than Last 13 Years Combined; US-Canada Illegal Border Crossings Surge – and Those Migrants are Heading to NYC; U.S. Northern Border Crossings Break Record In 2024

More Migrants Apprehended in Northern Border Sector in 10 Months than Last 13 Years Combined:

Border Patrol agents in the Swanton Sector of the U.S.-Canada border have apprehended more than 15,000 migrants so far this fiscal year, more than the previous 13 years combined, according to U.S. Border Patrol reports.

Swanton Sector Chief Patrol Agent Robert Garcia reported this week that since October 1, 2023, his agents apprehended more than 15,000 migrants. The astounding record of migrant apprehensions this year reflects the vulnerability of our northern border with Canada.

Garcia stated the agents apprehended more migrants this year who illegally crossed from Canada into eastern New York, Vermont, and New Hampshire than in the previous 13 years combined.

Swanton Sector agents established yet another migrant apprehension record in June when agents apprehended more than 3,300 migrants who illegally crossed from Canada into the U.S. The previous record was set just one month earlier when Swanton Sector agents arrested just over 3,000 migrants, Breitbart Texas reported.

Chief Garcia previously reported that during FY24, his agents apprehended migrants from 85 different nations. Many of those nations include countries with direct ties to terrorism.

The list of nations includes migrants from Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Angola, Anguilla, Argentina, Australia, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Cameroon, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Congo, Costa Rica, Croatia, Cuba, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, Equatorial Guinea, Eswatini, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Guatemala, Guinea, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Hungary, India, Iran, Iraq, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Liberia, Lithuania, Mauritania, Mexico, Morocco, Nepal, Netherlands, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Pakistan, Panama, Romania, Russia. Rwanda, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, South Africa, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Sweden, Syria, Taiwan, Togo, Turkiye, Ukraine, United Kingdom, Uzbekistan, Venezuela, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe. —>READ MORE HERE

US-Canada illegal border crossings surge – and those migrants are heading to NYC

Mountain Mart, a gas station in the small city of Plattsburgh, New York, was once an unassuming pit stop before a trip to the nearby Adirondacks, or perhaps a stay near Lake Champlain. Thanks to its proximity to the northern border, it’s now better known as an outpost for migrants, the penultimate stop on their long journeys from home.

Under the cover of darkness on a recent summer night, FOX 5 NY’s Stephanie Bertini and photojournalist Lenny Torres found a group of migrants at this gas station, located 30 miles from the Canadian border and 300 miles from New York City.

This group represents a sliver in the massive surge of illegal border crossings at the northern border: In fiscal year 2021, Border Control logged 916 illegal border crossings in the north. So far, this fiscal, that number has skyrocketed to nearly 13,000.

“Are you going to New York City?” Bertini asked one of the few asylum seekers willing to speak on camera.

“Yes,” he responded reluctantly.

As New York City reconciles with the glut of migrants bussed from the southern border, FOX 5 NY turns its cameras to the wide-open northern border. Here, asylum seekers can wriggle through grassy, rural spaces, slip into Upstate New York and easily find buses and drivers that will take them to the Big Apple. —>READ MORE HERE
