Oh, look: The thing that Canadian immigration law experts said would happen, happened
Closing safe routes for asylum seekers doesn't reduce the number of asylum seekers. It increases irregular movement, enriches smugglers & puts lives at risk

![Image of excerpts from news article:
The Globe and Mail
Immigration department received intelligence about huge rise in clandestine US-Canada border crossings last year
[…] The CBSA briefing says that since the border crossing at Roxham Road in Quebec was closed in 2023, stopping people immediately claiming asylum with a change to the Safe Third Country Agreement with the U.S., there has been a big increase in people clandestinely crossing the border into Canada.
“Clandestine entry into Canada has grown exponentially since the implementation of the Additional Protocol (AP) to the Safe Third Country Agreement (STCA),” says the report entitled “Illicit Between the Ports (BTP) movements: April to September 2023.”
[…] The CBSA intelligence report sheds light on how foreign nationals from particular countries are crossing the border clandestinely from the U.S. into Canada.
It says “human smuggling services are extensive for clandestine entries” and that payments “for end to end services” range from $3,200 to $45,000. People crossing illegally use smuggling networks which vary in sophistication, it says, and the migrants using them are placed in vulnerable situations and often exploited. The routes used to smuggle people are “often very dangerous” and can result in “bodily harm and or death.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7v5ioahjpvxy2mojphfxxtij/bafkreieqv53zr7yenrjyexs4hyalcu7wacxsju6hgseixl5espjca55oba@jpeg)
