This exodus is also being exploited by drug cartels, who are seeing a boom in their smuggling operations.
Kelly Sundberg, who served the CBSA for 15 years and is currently a border security researcher at Mount Royal University in Calgary, expressed his concerns during an interview with CBS's "60 Minutes Overtime". Sundberg warned of an impending "tsunami" of illegal immigrants fleeing the U.S. and entering Canada due to Trump's policies. "Canada can expect a tsunami of illegal immigrants fleeing American authorities and coming into our country," Sundberg stated. "The numbers already are going up."

Sundberg further cautioned that these immigrants might be carrying illegal substances and firearms with them. "I hope I'm wrong, but it would appear that we're going to be overwhelmed by the illegal immigrants fleeing American authorities coming into our country," he added. "And they very well might be bringing guns and drugs with them."

According to RedState, the "60 Minutes Overtime" segment also featured an interview with a smuggler affiliated with the Mexican Sinaloa drug cartel. The smuggler confirmed that there has been a significant increase in requests to cross the northern border into Canada. "Most of them are Venezuelans," he revealed. "Those people are afraid of being deported to their countries. Normally before, we didn't see that much, maybe out of every 30 people we crossed, three or four would come up. Now, maybe out of every 10 we cross, five go up [to Canada]."

The smuggler, who admitted to trafficking people, including infants, as well as large quantities of fentanyl and weapons across the northern border, also noted that the Sinaloa cartel would continue its operations at the northern border due to its porousness. "Canada's border is much larger than Mexico's," he said. "There are more entry points through Canada than through Mexico, a lot more entry points. So that won't stop us."
This revelation underscores the need for enhanced border security in the post-Biden administration era. The smuggler interviewed by "60 Minutes Overtime" was operating in the Swanton Sector, an area stretching from New Hampshire to upstate New York. RedState reported on illegal crossings in this sector in October, citing trail camera footage showing illegal immigrants crossing the northern border into the United States.

In August, VTDigger published a comprehensive report indicating a surge in border patrol agents in the area, as they grappled with "record numbers of migrants attempting to cross the Canadian border into Vermont and neighboring states." A border patrol official overseeing operations in Vermont, New Hampshire, and New York, told the outlet that his agency has "seen a number of apprehensions that we’ve never seen in our recorded history in this area.”

The Trump administration's enforcement of immigration laws and its mass deportation efforts have seemingly redirected the flow of illegal immigrants. However, the potential threats posed by this shift, including the increased activity of drug cartels, underscore the need for both the U.S. and Canada to bolster their border security measures.
