U.S. and Canada strike deal on northern border and asylum seekers.

The US and Canada have reached a deal that would allow both countries to turn away asylum seekers who cross the border illegally. The agreement will allow Canada to turn away migrants from unofficial crossing points like Roxham Road, a small, well-traveled road that straddles the Canada-U.S. border between Quebec and New York. In exchange, Canada will also announce plans to welcome an additional 15,000 Central American migrants over the next year through legal pathways. The announcement is in line with the Biden administration’s recent strategy for deterring migrants from crossing the southern border.
