BRIDGES NOT BORDERS - CREONS DES PONTS

On this blog, we used to post information about our visits to the border at Roxham Road, USA side.
Since the closure of Roxham Road on Friday 24 March 2023, we're attempting to keep a log of the info we have about refugees who have been returned to the US.
We're also now posting blogs about our personal experiences at the border.


Sur ce blogue, nous avons affiché des informations sur nos visites à la frontière, Roxham Road, États Unis. Depuis la fermeture de Roxham Road le vendredi 24 mars 2023, nous essayons de tenir un répertoire des informations que nous avons cueillies sur les réfugiés qui ont été renvoyés aux États-Unis.
De plus, nous postons maintenant des blogs sur nos expériences personelles à la frontière.

Sunday, August 11th, 2019. Afternoon at Roxham Road, USA.

A busy afternoon. In total 15  refugees crossed into Canada during the afternoon: 9 adults and 6 children.  They came in four taxis. As well we had two visitors from SUNY Plattsburgh University.

The first tax brought 3 women: a young woman from Nigeria and an older woman with an adult daughter from Rwanda. They all spoke English.

Soon afterwards a second taxi arrived bringing a couple with three children from an African country.  The children were 2 boys around 12 and 8 years old and a girl aged about 4 years old. They spoke English.  As they were entering the RCMP building we heard someone ask if only the girl had been born in the USA. So it would appear they had been living in the USA for a while.

Another City Taxi arrived bearing 4 people from the Democratic Republic of Congo:  a mother with three children : 2 boys about 15 and 11 years old and a girl, maybe 8 or 9.  Mother and daughter were tearfully emotional. Once again we thought we heard the RCMP officers clarifying who was born in the USA. 

 The last taxi brought three adults from Nigeria: a couple (man and woman) and a lone woman.  They crossed over quickly.

Everyone crossed without incident and the RCMP respected their protocol.

    The earlier border visit reports were written by the volunteers who were at the border on that day, the later updates about the situation in the US are an attempt to keep a log of what we find out through our own visits in the US, or through contacts in the US.
    ​Les rapports de nos visites à la frontière et de l'information qu'on a pu collecter sur la situation aux États-Unis sont rédigés par les bénévoles qui étaient à la frontière ou aux É-U. Nous sommes désolés de ne pas avoir les ressources pour traduire ces rapports en français.
