U.S. and Canada Strike Deal to Divert Asylum Seekers and Close Roxham Road.
TL;DR Summary
The US and Canada have reached an agreement to divert asylum seekers from their borders, allowing Canada to turn back immigrants at Roxham Road, a popular unofficial crossing point from New York for migrants seeking asylum in Canada. In exchange, Canada has agreed to provide a new, legal refugee program for 15,000 migrants who are fleeing violence, persecution and economic devastation in South and Central America, lessening the pressure of illegal crossings into the United States from Mexico. The deal is set to be announced by President Biden and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau after their meeting in Ottawa.
