Why Indian migrants choose Canada over Mexico to cross US border illegally?

Illegal immigration is becoming more common, with people finding new ways to enter countries like the United States and the United Kingdom. Instead of taking the usual routes, many are now trying to cross borders that are less closely watched.

A growing number of Indians are now choosing to cross the Canada-U.S. border to enter the U.S. This is a big shift, as more Indians are now using this route instead of the more heavily guarded Mexico-U.S. border.

Recent data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shows this trend clearly. In June alone, 5,152 Indians were caught trying to cross into the U.S. from Canada on foot. This is the highest number ever recorded. The Canada-U.S. border is over 9,000 kilometers long, making it the longest open border in the world, and it’s twice as long as the Mexico-U.S. border. From January to June 2024, the number of Indians caught at this border increased by 47% compared to the same period in 2023. The numbers have skyrocketed, jumping 13 times higher than they were in 2021.
