Canada is facing the pressure from US President Donald Trump’s administration to strengthen border security.

Earlier this week, Rosario Pete Vasquez, the chief agent of the Blaine patrol, said they had installed concrete blocks and rock barriers In several areas with high traffic near the level crossing to suppress crossings of illegal vehicles.
Vasquez said 85 vehicles have illegally entered the United States near the Blaine-Pacific motorway since 2023.
