U.S. asks Canada to reimpose visa requirements for Mexico to stem surge of crossings at northern border

[shockedcanadian]

Think about this for a moment. Mexican citizens are flying into Canada and instead of wanting to stay in our Police State Utopia, they wisely leave Toronto and head to the American border to enter the U.S illegally.

THIS is how far our police state has stripped this nations citizens of its soul, especially in Toronto. We are soulless now. You have a similar and eager police state underbelly in some places who want to do the same damage to America. From the recruiting of obedient citizens and workplaces on down, Canada is a blight on civil liberties and human rights. Even desperate Mexican citizens know this.

I warned you that the worst aspect of socialism isn't economical, it is far more diabolical and I know that far too many of you don't understand this, you can't see the forest through the trees...

The Biden administration has been asking Ottawa to consider reimposing visa requirements for Mexican nationals visiting Canada, CBC News has learned.

At issue is the sharp increase in illegal crossings from Canada into the United States: Mexicans don't need a visa to travel to Canada, while the U.S. requires a visa for Mexicans to enter. American border officials say some Mexican nationals are using Canada's visa-free rule to fly into the country and then cross south illegally into America.

The Conservative government under Stephen Harper created a visa requirement in 2009 for Mexicans to stem the flow of asylum claims from Mexico. The Trudeau government relaxed it in 2016.

In an interview with CBC News chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas — whose department oversees border security and the enforcement of U.S. immigration laws — says the Biden administration has asked Canada to consider putting back in place the visa requirements for Mexican nationals.


"We talk about this issue and many issues that impact the migration of people," said Mayorkas in an interview airing Sunday on Rosemary Barton Live. "I think that's a decision that the Canadian officials are going to make."

Mayorkas was in Ottawa for the 2023 Canada-United States Cross-Border Crime Forum, alongside Attorney General Merrick Garland, and their Canadian counterparts, Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino and Justice Minister David Lametti.

Asians entering the U.S. illegally mostly go through Canada; the govt. there doesn't care as long as they head for the U.S. when they land. Mexicans and others, like Pakis and other Arabx, go the same route. A lot of indian reservations have triabl lands on both sides of the border or right on it, and they make a lot of money smuggling dope, people, terrorists, whatever they can make a buck off of.

Well, the fact that a foreign citizen would look to leave their unhappy country NOT to choose Canada, but to just use Canada in order to seek freedom in the U.S should scream to American authorities just how much of a dire, police state Canada represents. 30 Years + and our Security Industrial Complex just keeps getting stronger and destroys our nation even more.

In some cases, as I'm experiencing now at work; with help by Americans. It is frightening that Americans of all people would trust a government apparatus over a man who has been violated for almost 4 decades.

For the first time I am starting to feel that America may have followed our lead and it will ensure your sharp decline as it has in Toronto.

Well, we went into decline starting in the 1960's, so it not news to me. One more big boom and bust cycle and all the residual wealth left in the hands of the working and middle class will be wiped out and the 'U.S.' will be 20 billionaires and 340 million serfs left, and nothing but anarchy and war zones between a few rich walled enclaves here and there. A libertarian paradise. With 400 million firearms, I'm betting it will be a lot more like Somalia or Sudan. Good luck finding a decent warlord to serve.
