Keep an Eye on the Canadian Border: Jamie Tronnes and Michael Barutciski in the Wall Street Journal

This article originally appeared in the Wall Street Journal. Below is an excerpt from the article.

By Jamie Tronnes and Michael Barutciski, September 20, 2024

Changes to Canada’s immigration policies are making the world’s longest border a pressure point for illegal migration and a record-setting number of asylum claims. Backtracking on years of overly lenient policy, Canada’s Liberal government recently announced caps on temporary foreign workers and international students.
