US and Canada agree on immigration deal, ending asylum-seeker loophole.
TL;DR
President Joe Biden and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a new migration deal that will allow Canada to send migrants who cross at unofficial ports of entry at America's northern border back to the U.S. The U.S. will also be able to turn back asylum seekers who travel across the border from Canada. In return, Canada has agreed to allow 15,000 more people from the Western Hemisphere to migrate to Canada legally. The new policy agreement was officially announced by Biden during his visit to Canada, and both leaders emphasized working together to keep their people safe.
