The Toronto Sun reports that the number of people crossing at Roxham Road, the illegal border crossing near La Colle QC, where most so-called irregular migrant crossings occur, exceeds the population of many mid-sized Canadian cities.

The number of people crossing into Canada at Roxham Road in 2022 was greater than the population of Shawinigan, QC or Bradford, ON or Spruce Grove, AB. It was a record breaking year for all the wrong reasons. Read & RT #cdnpoli https://t.co/uWhXt9e2Zb

According to Blacklock's:

The performance objective for total removals in 2023 is set at 16,312 which represents a 219 percent increase from the prior year’s performance,” wrote staff. Tracking the most dangerous foreign fugitives is a priority, the memo added.

'Removals are prioritized based on a risk management regime with cases involving national security, organized crime, human rights violations and criminality being the highest priority for the safety and security of Canada,' said the memo.

'This first priority also includes failed irregular migrant asylum seekers that entered between Canada’s ports of entry.'
