TL;DR Summary

Asylum seekers continued to cross into Canada through the unofficial United States border crossing into Quebec at Roxham Road a day after the two countries amended the Safe Third Country Agreement to stem the influx. Under the revised pact, anyone who crosses into either country anywhere along the land border and who applies for asylum within 14 days will be turned back. Critics fear that enforcing the amended agreement by apprehending people who cross anywhere along the land border could be a logistical nightmare and put people at risk, driving them underground and toward riskier modes of travel.
