The porous southern border wasn’t the only sovereignty concern President Joe Biden failed to address, as illegal crossings from Canada saw a “staggering” increase representing dozens of countries.
Sensational images of the US-Mexico border undoubtedly highlight the ineptitude of the current administration’s management of the ongoing invasion of America. However, as surprising as the tens of thousands of people clamoring to cross the Grand River has been the more than fivefold increase in apprehensions from nearly 80 different countries making the trek from their neighbors to the north .
On Tuesday, Chief Patrol Agent Robert Garcia of the U.S. Border Patrol’s Swanton Sector broke down the data that marks fiscal year 2023 for the region comprising the 295-mile stretch of land where Canada faced New Hampshire, New York and Vermont.
“Swanton Sector Border Patrol agents have seen a staggering 550% increase compared to last year by recording 6,925 apprehensions from 79 different countries between 10/01/2022 and 09/30/2023” , posted on X with some pictures and a summary. of the top five countries represented which include Mexico, India, Venezuela, Haiti and Romania.

By comparison, there were only 1,000 arrests in FY22 and a paltry 365 in FY21, and even those numbers exceed the volume of crossings that occurred across the entire US-Canada border .
Border Patrol data indicated there had been a total of 189,402 encounters in FY23, nearly double the 109,535 in FY22 and roughly seven times the 27,000 encounters in FY22 21. All of these numbers were easily eclipsed by the 2.4 million encounters. southern border, but the more than 5,000 miles to the north do not receive nearly as many resources to deal with the crossings.
A separate post by Garcia highlighted the agency’s reliance on residents to help police the area, as a video showed an example of a smuggling operation with the caption: “What human trafficking looks like along the northern border? Check it out here! Our vigilante officers in Burke, New York intercepted this smuggling attempt last year. If you see something, say something.”

After the abysmal year overseen by Biden’s Department of Homeland Security, New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) announced its own Northern Border Alliance task force to take on security threats, committing $1.4 million to coordinate with “State Police, Rangers and the Department of Fish and Game, as well as with local and local law enforcement agencies to fund patrols at 25 air miles.” of the Canadian border”.
The Granite State governor noted, “Encounters with individuals on the terrorist watch list at ports of entry on the northern border have doubled since 2017.”
While the co-chair of the Northern Border Security Caucus, Pennsylvania Rep. Mike Kelly, noted on Fox News Digital in October, “You don’t have to worry about going through a jungle, just go through. There’s there’s a river you’ve got to cross; There’s really nothing to stop people from coming,” even harsh winter conditions weren’t enough to deter crossings.
From the beginning of the fiscal year through January, only an 846 percent increase in encounters and apprehensions with most of them was reported, according to Garcia, who still represented Mexicans.
