U.S. and Canada expected to announce agreement on turning away asylum seekers

"President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are expected to announce an agreement on Friday that would allow both the United States and Canada to turn away asylum seekers who cross their borders without authorization, two U.S. officials confirmed to NBC News.

The agreement will likely follow an extensive bilateral meeting in Ottawa, where migration will be a main topic of conversation between the two heads of state.

The deal, reported earlier Thursday by the Los Angeles Times, would apply to people without U.S. or Canadian citizenship caught within 14 days of crossing the U.S.-Canada border.

Canada will also commit to take in an additional 15,000 migrants next year from the Western Hemisphere on a humanitarian basis, a U.S. official told NBC News.

Illegal crossings into the U.S. from Canada have climbed to historically high levels, though still a fraction of the crossings into the U.S. from Mexico.

At the Swanton Sector of the U.S. border, which covers New Hampshire, Vermont and a portion of northern New York, illegal border crossings increased by a factor of 10 during a recent five-month stretch compared to the same period last year, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data.

From Oct. 1 to Feb. 28, about 2,000 migrants were apprehended crossing the border illegally in the sector, compared to just 200 in the same period the previous year..."

It's also about protecting the Great Lakes, whereas Biden is hoping that the Canadians will put forth more funding.
