US and Canada strike deal to manage asylum seekers at northern border
TL;DR Summary
The US and Canada have agreed to turn away more migrants at unofficial border crossings, according to a new rule set to be published in the Federal Register. The deal allows Canada to send asylum-seekers who cross the border at unofficial crossing points back to the US, and vice versa. Canada has also agreed to accept an additional 15,000 migrants per year from the Western Hemisphere. However, immigrant advocates criticized the deal for limiting the movement of asylum-seekers.
