A group of nine people, most of whom were children, attempted to cross into Canada from the US on foot in a particularly harsh winter. Canadian authorities intervened quickly due to increased surveillance at the border, which is the longest in the world. Meanwhile, tensions on the border have risen because of President Trump’s policies on immigration, which have caused Canada to tighten its visa rules and increase border security. The immigrants often come from dangerous situations in their home countries and are seeking a refuge. For now, Canada is still sending people back to the US, but debates about the safety of the US for asylum seekers continue.
