CANADA – Roxham Road: Quebec Anticipates Record Year of Asylum Seekers
35,000 people expected to cross the border illegally via Roxham Road
These days, more than 100 people cross the border illegally every day at the Saint-Bernard-de-Lacolle police station in Montérégie, as they do here at the end of April.
The PQ returned to the charge yesterday in the National Assembly, accusing the federal government of “intentionally” harming Quebec’s integration and francization capabilities.

“The reason they’re concentrated in Quebec is simply a matter of geography, because there is a large land border between the U.S. and Canada that people can cross over,” Dench said.” If that is the case I wonder if Canadiens looking to get out of Canada could cross into the US at this location? Is it only one way or is no one on either side stopping people from crossing?
Along the Mexican border, Mexicans cross into the US legally on days trips for shopping in the border towns. The problem they would run into if they try to stay would be if they head further into the country. Then you have checkpoints where nationality info is asked.
Are there checkpoints like this along the US side of the Canadian border?
If not, cross, head south and drive into Mexico and complete their paperwork. Problem there is that you only get 180 days at a time and resident visas take longer to acquire. Frontier areas like Baja Norte are less problematic.
I don’t get it. Who would want to migrate into this county which is run by a dictator?
They obviously came from the US. If they were able to get into there, why not stay? (I’m not saying I support or encourage this, I am just wondering “why choose Canada?”)
