Sounds like a massive problem, right?

But the fact is that illegal crossings from Canada were always very small numbers, so an increase by 800% is still a small number. 2)

Remember: if there was one illegal crossing last year, and 8 this year, that is an 800% increase. But it is still only 8.

Do not allow them to manipulate you." 3)
