Pipeline to Roxham Road should be an international incident
This is because the issue at hand would go well beyond the matter of the migrants themselves — it would involve a foreign state knowingly funding illegal activity at the U.S. border. An ally deliberately aiding and abetting the circumvention of U.S. border restrictions, and quite possibly compromising national security in the process.
The rural road sees an estimated 100 migrants a day cross illegally into Quebec. That’s over 30,000 a year, with the trend showing no signs of slowing, particularly when it’s not just encouraged, but paid for and delivered by New York City and the National Guard.Article content The sitting Homeland Secretary responded forcefully, saying, “The Department of Homeland Security has been working with the departments of State, Defense and Justice to ensure all possible resources are available to address this lawless caravan.” The Americans threatened economic retaliation. Ultimately, Mexico cracked down and upped their own enforcement presence at the border to turn back migrants.
It’s more plausible the city would simply like them to be someone else’s problem. Either way, good intentions aren’t generally accepted by governments as an excuse to break laws and violate treaties.Article contentIt’s also just a few steps short of state-sponsored human smuggling — perhaps worse if the migrants aren’t fully informed of their rights, the illegal nature of their crossing or what supports may or may not await them in Canada.
