Quebec’s Public Security Minister François Bonnardel – along with Sûreté du Québec – say they’re ready to strengthen security at the U.S. border, should there be an influx of migrants there following the Jan. 20 inauguration of U.S. president-elect Donald Trump.
At a press conference in Quebec City Tuesday, Bonnardel said the province is concerned about the illegal migration occurring in the Swanton sector, between Quebec and the United States, calling on the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) to place the necessary personnel there.
“My department is in constant contact with its many partners in Quebec, Canada and the United States to ensure that the safety of our citizens is not compromised on both sides of the border,” Bonnardel said, in a press release.
