Border Czar Kamala Harris has another headache: illegal aliens are sneaking across the northern border with Canada in sizable numbers. The mainstream media ran cover for years on the southern border, which has only recently come into focus on network news channels.
But the northern border has been a blind spot. The dense woods separating Canada from New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine provide excellent cover for illegal interlopers. While far less trafficked than the southern border, penetration in the north has increased by several magnitudes.
The area in question is comprised of three Border Patrol Sectors, named Buffalo, Swanton, and Houlton, respectively, from west to east. Six border stations patrol Buffalo sector, eight in Swanton, and six in Houlton.
The New York-through-Maine border is 1,204 miles long. Broken down by state, Canada’s border is separated from New York by 445 miles, Vermont and New Hampshire, 148, and Maine, 611 miles.
In Swanton sector alone–a mere 295 miles of that 1,204–over 19,000 illegals have crossed during the 2024 fiscal year.
