Number of migrants crossing between Canada and the U.S. is much smaller than at the U.S.-Mexico border, but recent increases have caught attention of Republicans
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Homeland Security says people seeking asylum at the border with Canada will have less time to consult a lawyer before making their case, as President Joe Biden's asylum halt makes its way to Canada’s doorstep.
The Department of Homeland Security said it reviewed the Safe Third Country Agreement with Canada and concluded that it could streamline the process without affecting access to fair procedures for determining a claim to asylum. “This makes it incredibly difficult when you think about how legal service providers work,” she said.
It led to a dramatic drop of people crossing into Canada from the U.S. at unofficial border crossings, but the number of people travelling in the opposite direction has started to increase. “he possibility of terrorists crossing the U.S.-Canada border is deeply concerning given the deep penetration of Gazan society by Hamas,” Rubio said in the letter, after Canada pledged an increase to temporary visas for Gaza residents looking to join family members in the country.
The new rules at the Canada-U.S. border mirror the time-constraint changes brought to America's border with Mexico earlier this year.
