Border crossing drop-off

The northern light has an interesting article about the drop off in businesses due to our Orange Idiot (https://thenorthernlight.com/stories/growing-number-of-canadians-shun-us-travel-destabilizing-blaine-businesses,37430?). The most interesting thing is the number of crossings statistic. 680,000 crossings in Feb 2024 vs 544,000 last month. That's a massive drop that I don't think can be 100% attributed to the low Canadian dollar. And it isn't just Blaine, the CBP site (https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/travel) shows a huge decline along the northern border.
