The US and Canada sign the agreement on the rejection of asylum seekers

The United States and Canada reached an agreement aimed at stopping asylum seekers from entering their shared land border through unofficial crossings. Further details of this pact will be discussed in an official face-to-face meeting between US President Joe Biden and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in Ottawa.

The deal is part of efforts to limit the flow of migrants on Roxham Road, an unofficial crossing between New York state and the province of Quebec. In turn, Canada will create a new refugee program for 15,000 immigrants fleeing violence in South and Central America.

In a press release, the Immigrant Rights Network of Canada condemned the deal, calling it dangerous. In such conditions, migrants will be forced to take even more dangerous routes to find shelter. The visit to Canada comes amid rising tensions between the US and Mexico, with the Mexican president praising Donald Trump and attacking the US State Department./ CNA
