Quebec’s immigration minister said Tuesday that only eight of the roughly 380 asylum seekers who entered via the irregular Roxham Road border crossing on the weekend remained in the province, with the others being sent to other provinces. Legault, who met with the U.S. ambassador to Canada on Tuesday, has also called for the agreement that prevents people who are in the United States from claiming asylum at official Canadian border posts to be extended to irregular border crossings.
The RCMP intercepted 39,000 people crossing the border irregularly in southern Quebec in 2022, up from 4,095 in 2021.
