Invasion on the Northern Front
[Epoch Times] At dawn or dusk, Kristy Brow used to enjoy alone time walking in the woods on her 21-acre property in Highgate, Vermont, a small rural town near the U.S.—Canada border. Mrs. Brow and her husband are both avid hunters and have deer stands set up on their property. Their game cameras often record illegal immigrants passing through.

Mrs. Brow’s property falls within the Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) Swanton Sector, a 295-mile stretch of largely unguarded border with Canada. Swanton Sector Chief Patrol Agent Robert Garcia wrote on social media earlier this month that border agents in his sector apprehended more illegal immigrants in fiscal year 2023 than "the prior 11 fiscal years combined."

A woman who lives in New Hampshire told The Epoch Times an illegal immigrant swam across Wallace Pond in Canaan, arriving soaking wet on her neighbor’s doorstep asking for help.

In a separate incident, Mrs. Brow recalled her neighbor returning home one afternoon to find an illegal immigrant sitting on her front steps. "He wanted to charge his phone at her house," Mrs. Brow said.

While the neighbor allowed the man to charge his cellphone outside the house, she also called Border Patrol, who came and arrested him.

"Despite sub-freezing temperatures, Swanton Sector continues encountering family groups with young children, including infants, illegally crossing from Canada into the U.S.," according to the CBP website.

"They’re coming from everywhere," Matt told The Epoch Times. "They’re trying to go to New York. They say they have no money, but somebody comes up with the money. Their shoes are high-end. We had a family with a baby with a $300 baby crib. They have money somewhere."

[ND Gov] Mr. Burgum views uncontrolled illegal immigration as a national security crisis. He brought up the unprecedented number of Chinese nationals crossing illegally. In the past four months, border officials have apprehended nearly 30,000 Chinese nationals at U.S. borders—4,200 of them at the northern border.

"It makes no sense to me. It’s making the nation less secure. This is not about immigration anymore. This is about national security and public safety if you look at the crime that’s occurring. It’s not about Arizona and Texas, California, and New Mexico issues. Nobody knows where the federal government is sending these people."
On the other hand...
Ronald Cribb, 68, said he welcomes the new arrivals and the job skills and work ethic that they bring.

"There’s a lot of jobs here. No American wants them because it’s $10 [an hour]. Don’t complain because they’re here. Don’t complain that they took the jobs. You didn’t want the jobs," Mr. Cribb said.

"They want to work. There’s a lot of jobs out here. Anybody can come here. It’s called the United States."
On another other hand, when the evil MAGA Trumpkins have delayed the Brandon Bill on even more immigration long enough, it'll be declared "a National Emergency", and then all bets are off.
