Oh look, someone wrote an article on it today backing up my point.

According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, border patrol officers had 23,721 “encounters” with people along the Canadian border last year – this refers to the number of times they stopped people trying to cross the border without going through an official crossing.

That number was a sharp increase from 10,021 the year before and 2,238 the year before that. But it is small over all: By comparison, border patrol had 1,530,523 such encounters at the Mexican border last year, meaning the total number of unauthorized crossings of the U.S. border from Canada was less than 2 per cent of the number coming from Mexico.

Similarly, U.S. customs agents seized 43 pounds of fentanyl at the Canadian border last year. This represented less than 0.2 per cent of the total 21,900 pounds intercepted across the U.S. More than 96 per cent of that total, 21,100 pounds, was seized at the Mexican border.


Canada has already taken some action to stop migrants attempting to use the country to enter the U.S. Earlier this year, after CBP data showed about half of border guards’ encounters along the Canadian border were with Mexican nationals, Canada imposed a visa requirement on Mexicans entering the country.
