Mainecat Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 What I said..... U.S. northern border illegal crossings rise; many are Mexicans The number of people apprehended for illegally crossing from Canada into the United States along its northern border has nearly tripled over the past three years, and a growing portion are Mexican citizens, according to federal data. One Mexican man who crossed illegally to work on a Vermont dairy farm said it was easier than trying the southern border. U.S. Customs and Border Protection statistics obtained by The Associated Press after a public records request provide new detail on what was apparent anecdotally: Along the border from Maine to Washington, 446 of the 1,586 illegal crossers apprehended in the 2019 fiscal year were Mexican, or 28%. That’s up from 20 of 558, or just 3.6%, in 2016. The numbers also increased for Romanians — many identified as ethnic Roma — and other nationalities, such as Haitians and Indians. Those tallies don’t include apprehensions for reasons other than illegal crossings, such as overstaying visas.

A lot of them are migrating workers I would bet? We have thousands of acres of farms that have to be hand picked by us. They come into our area around the end of summer and head out in the fall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Trump made it really difficult he has to use others he won’t mention to harvest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trudeau just gave my kid a check for 2k. Only took 3 days to come in the mail. No, I'm not voting for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
