Union Safety Net Episode 12 – Border control and security

Following Donald Trump’s accusations about the flow of migrants and fentanyl from Canada into the United States, the government of Canada announced a multitude of changes to border control and security costed at approximately $1.3 billion dollars. Changes include new helicopters at the border, migration controls, new money-laundering rules and a joint Canada-U.S. anti-fentanyl police task force. To discuss these new developments and how it will impact border security, we spoke with Mark Weber, National President of the Customs and Immigration Union, the union that represents Canada’s Front-Line Customs and Immigration Officers.
