Canada and the United States are negotiating a deal that could see asylum seekers turned back at irregular border crossings across the border, including Roxham Road in Quebec.
Last Updated Thursday, March 23, 2023 6:57PM EDT
Under the Safe Third Country Agreement, first signed between the U.S. and Canada in 2004, asylum seekers must make their claim in whichever country they arrive first. That currently applies only to official border crossings. The two leaders will likely address the talks following their bilateral meeting in Ottawa on Friday. But whether they make a formal announcement of a deal - or just say they intend to reach a deal - is still to be determined, the official said.
She added: “We feel like we have had great success with our partners in Canada, and we expect to continue that co-ordination.” The organization is one of three that are challenging the constitutionality of the Safe Third Country Agreement in the Supreme Court, arguing that the United States can't be counted on to carry out Canada's obligations to refugees under international law.
“That's a lot of people in our community, considering population is about 95,000 people,” he said in a phone interview. “That's a huge, immediate impact to our community.” “This is something that both Canada and the United States believe in, is having an orderly policy at all of our borders, but also welcoming immigration policies for those who are fleeing violence, war, or persecution,” he said.
