Canada closed its land border to asylum seekers, yet more refugees persist

Canada's recent efforts to curtail the influx of asylum seekers from the United States seemed initially successful. In a matter of days, the number of individuals apprehended at unofficial border crossings dropped significantly. However, five months later, the overall number of people seeking refugee status in Canada has increased instead of declining. Many now arrive by air, while others clandestinely cross the border and remain hidden until they can apply for asylum without the fear of being deported, according to individuals assisting migrants, as reported by Reuters.
