In one of the only American towns you have to go through Canada to reach, residents and business owners are caught in the middle of political and economic battles that have left them feeling completely cut off.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I can&#8217;t even remember a time when the shelves ever looked like this, ever, not even during COVID,&#8221; said Beth Calder of the empty shelves in her shipping delivery service, which she opened more than two decades ago. She is a fifth-generation resident of Point Roberts. <\/p>\n<p>Calder says Canadian customers are &#8220;huge&#8221; to businesses in Point Roberts. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If it wasn&#8217;t for Canadians, Point Roberts would be literally a western ghost town,&#8221; Calder said. <\/p>\n<p>Many of the town&#8217;s approximately 1,200 residents are dual citizens. Border crossings from Canada into Point Roberts are down substantially, and local residents cite the recent rhetoric from President Trump as a major reason why.
