Quebec Premier Francois Legault has told American authorities to “immediately stop” sending asylum shopping illegal refugees to the Canadian-US border at Roxham Road.

Quebec tells US to ‘immediately stop’ sending illegal migrants to Canada

As previously reported, the US National Guard is distributing bus tickets to the asylum-shopping migrants so they can leave America and illegally enter Canada via Roxham Road instead.

“Any form of assistance to migrants crossing the border where it is strictly forbidden to do so should stop immediately,” Legault’s office stated in response to the development. 

“We understand that the situation of migrants in New York poses major challenges, but the situation in Quebec and particularly in Montreal is even worse and constitutes an important humanitarian issue.”

Roxham Road first came onto the public radar in 2017 when Justin Trudeau posted tweets about how everyone trying to enter Canada would be allowed in. 

Now, there are so many migrants being bussed from New York City to a city thirty minutes south of the border that taxi drivers compete with private bus companies to solicit them.

On Tuesday, Quebec’s immigration Christine Fréchette said that almost all of the illegal refugees who entered over the weekend were sent out of the province, to other parts of Canada.

“We’re very happy about this,” she said.

“We hope that this will be maintained and that this will be the new approach to managing the borders and asylum seekers.”

Fréchette said 380 migrants entered Canada illegally over last weekend alone. She added that only eight of them are still in Quebec, while the rest have moved to other provinces.
