A new report from the New York Post has revealed that the U.S.-Canada border, the largest border in the world, remains open and was not affected by a recent executive order in which President Joe Biden sought to limit the number of asylum seekers entering America.

“The executive order doesn’t affect us,” said a Northern Border Patrol agent speaking to the New York Post. “Family units are getting released and singles are sent to detention for adjudication.”
According to the new report, the northern border was unaffected by the restrictions and has been seeing an increase in illegal entries.
Leaked Department of Homeland Security (DHS) data acquired by the New York Post show that, in June, a record 3,600 illegal immigrants were encountered at the northern border, which, although far smaller than the number of crossings in the south, nevertheless exceeded the total recorded crossings from 2022.
The Northern border employs far fewer agents, has far less security, and is far larger than the Southern border, meaning that the number of illegal northern crossings is likely far larger than the number of encounters.
Biden’s executive order came in response to widespread criticism of his open border policies, which allowed an unprecedented number of immigrants to enter the U.S. illegally and fueled a nationwide crime wave.
The order was intended to restrict asylum seekers if the southern border reached 2,500 daily encounters, with the restrictions intended to remain in effect until the encounters were reduced to 1,500 per day for a full week.
That rule would still allow roughly one million asylum seekers to be admitted every year.
The report found that the Swanton Sector, which encompasses the New Hampshire, New York, and Vermont borders, had the highest number of encounters.
In many cases, U.S. property owners living along the border have started feeling less safe, as illegal immigrants wander through their property while entering the country.

Maine has also seen an influx of illegal immigrants crossing over from the North, some of whom are Chinese foreign nationals who may be related to the illegal Chinese marijuana cultivation throughout the state.
As Maine and the northern border have seen an increase in illegal crossings, the taxpayers will fund a nearly $100 million upgrade for a Maine-Canada border station to make it more “equitable.”
Instead of using funds to hire more agents and increase security, the government is using its money to mitigate the environmental impact of the border station and to make it more resilient in the face of potential climate disasters.
While our Governor, one of the four bright bulbs of Maine leadership, plays footie with Joe any person can come in
We must vote the The Blubs out. We have been told nothing about the illegals who have been in trouble in Maine. The Dems have been covering it all up.
What the hell is this supposed to mean:
Instead of using funds to hire more agents and increase security, the government is using its money to mitigate the environmental impact of the border station and to make it more resilient in the face of potential climate disasters.

The biggest “environmental impact” is letting unvetted and undocumented aliens into the country to fall into appealing “cracks” wherever they find them.
It’s amazes me that xenophobic hysteria featured in this article, whose overall accuracy I do not question, attributes huge swaths of crime to the undocumented. You want to know who has illegal grows, or steals your car? Look in your own house. I have asserted the northern border is more porous forever. It’s nothing new. You want to make it better. Stop politicizing a problem of people fleeing despots, social, and economic refugees. I’m many cases the places the escape are in this turmoil because of us. Get sense. As our population contracts we are having difficulty finding enough labor. That in turn has fueled an automation industry that intends to create robots that don’t get sick, go to see their kids ballet recitals. Instead of waiting tables and making Tupperware we’ll be idled. We need these people. Over 30% of stoop labor that harvest crops is done by undocumented workers – now. Work that would otherwise be undone, or require farmers to pay a living wage/benefits/safety to attract locals. That in turn would cause food prices to rise. Some say by more than 200% THINK THINK THINK. The knee bone Is connected to the thigh bone. Everything has consequences!
de Vlieg: They are coming from Canada one of the biggest limp wristed socialst countries in the world where the Prime Minister gave 10 million to a terrorist that killed Canadians!! There is no valid reason to cross into the U.S. except to do illegal things here. You need to dig your head out of the nether lands and open your eyes to the crisis this country is in because of who you support! The country is contracting because of four years of anti American policies enacted by globalists starting with the ‘fakedemic’ orchestrated by globalists, billionaires and deep state leftists that were supposed ‘experts’ and pharmaceutical companies! Your miopic leftist view is what got hundreds of thousands of Americans, many young athletes killed by poisoned ‘vaccines! I realize leftists will never admit or accept blame as their quest is not for America to prosper!
