U.S. Congressman Brian Babin has introduced the Remain in Canada Act (H.R. 7739), a bill that seeks to apply President Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy to the U.S.-Canada border. Babin expressed his concerns about the current state of America's borders, stating, “Due to the current administration’s actions – complete negligence at best or, more likely, an intentional mass-replacement effort – America’s borders are being overrun by millions of unvetted immigrants from around the world.”

Babin highlighted the increasing number of illegal crossings at both the southern and northern borders, emphasizing the need for action. He referenced the 2023 Biden-Trudeau agreement on asylum, stating that it has failed to lower the number of encounters at the U.S.-Canada border and criticized the Biden administration's parole policies that allow unchecked immigrants to enter the country.

The Congressman praised President Trump's 'Remain in Mexico' policy for its effectiveness in securing the southern border and holding Mexico accountable. He aims to replicate this success with the Remain in Canada Act, which would prevent illegal entrants or asylum seekers from freely entering the United States from Canada.

In conclusion, Babin's bill aims to address the challenges posed by illegal immigration and protect American taxpayers from the burden of unchecked entry.
