A Border Patrol sector on the United States-Canadian border has seen an unprecedented number of illegal immigrants in the last year.
Covering New York, Vermont, and New Hampshire, the sector has seen border agents detain nearly 20,000 illegal immigrants for the fiscal year 2024.
The number of arrests suggests the surge of illegal crossings under the Biden-Harris government is not just impacting the southern border.
According to Chief Patrol Agent Robert Garcia, who oversees the U.S. border's Swanton Sector, his agents have apprehended 19,222 individuals attempting to cross the border from Canada illegally.
Concerningly, the border data released by Garcia shows that far fewer illegal immigrants-6,925-were arrested in his sector in the 2023 fiscal year, and 1,065 in the fiscal year 2022.
The number of illegals arrested while crossing from Canada in the Swanton Sector only broke 1,000 apprehensions in a single fiscal year under President Donald J. Trump and has otherwise not crossed into the quadruple digits since 2010.The Biden-Harris government's executive action, allegedly intended to reduce the number of asylum seekers entering the United States, only applies to the southern border with Mexico.
The National Pulse reported in August that the Biden-Harris government's Department of Homeland Security has sought to expedite the asylum process for illegal immigrants entering from Canada.
