In its most recent assault on refugees, American officials have complained that the US government is making it hard for Canadians to get the Stanstead, Quebec collection, which is located over the US-Canada borders. The most recent restriction on Indians from the collection, according to Stanstead president Jody Stone, undermines the ten-year-old arrangement that allows both Americans and Canadians to use the collection.
The access to the US-Canada boundary is on the National side, but the hallway crosses the library’s floor. The French side has the rear door, which means those without library cards must now use the back door.
The split will likely get worse in the upcoming weeks, according to US Customs and Border Protection ( CPB), as only library card holders and employees will be able to cross the US side through the main gate on the US area. No Canadians will be able to enter the collection through the US gate without passing through the border station, according to the CBP, aside from law enforcement, emergency service, mail delivery, national staff, and those with disabilities.
CBP has allowed library patrons to get its street without being inspected for decades because of the location of the library and the convenience of its residents, according to a statement from the organization. ” Over the years, this region has seen a continuing increase in illegal cross-border activity.”
The library’s management announced they are organizing a charity to construct a new parking lot and accessible for wheelchairs on the side of the building.
By the main entrance on the US area, American visitors were able to provide the library, according to the school’s website. Although identification and passports were not required, library staff had been informed that the US Border Patrol and RCMP may follow travelers and could ask to see identification.
The US and Canada are at odds with one another over their tax policies, with President Donald Trump vying to oust Canada and render it the country’s 51st position.
