Sheinbaum said Canada had its own problems with fentanyl consumption and “could only wish they had the cultural riches Mexico has.” On immigration, the US Border Patrol made 56,530 arrests at the Mexican border in October alone, while there were only 23,721 arrests at the Canadian border between October 2023 and September 2024. During the same period, US Customs and Border Protection reported 1.53 million encounters with migrants at the southwest border with Mexico.
