A report from CBS News, released on Monday, revealed the extent in which the Canadian border has become an issue for the United States in recent times, as official CBP numbers show roughly 19,000 people arrested for unlawful border crossing in the area during fiscal year 2024, about the same amount as the last 17 years combined.
Furthermore, statistics also show that 358 suspects on the terror watchlist were arrested on the northern border during the same time span, more than double the total of suspects encountered in the more scrutinized southern border with Mexico.
