The US National Guard is distributing bus tickets to asylum-shopping migrants so they can leave America and illegally enter Canada via Roxham Road instead.
The New York Post reports that the National Guard is giving one hundred migrants per day bus tickets to depart the Big Apple.
Migrants take a 10-hour city bus from Manhattan to Plattsburgh, then transfer onto a shuttle van that a private company runs.
“There’s gotta be 100 people a day,” said van driver Tyler Tambini. “I do this all day.”
“They get dropped off, and I take them the rest of the way.”
There are so many migrants crossing daily that taxi drivers compete with Tambini’s company to solicit them.
Whether by taxi or shuttle van, the ride from Plattsburgh takes about half an hour to get to the infamous border at Roxham Road.
The Post further reports that NYC Mayor Adams’ administration pays for a re-ticketing program that takes migrants to other cities.
Additionally, several non-profits and charities help the migrants seek their next asylum destination.
The migrants reportedly take this route before their US asylum proceedings have determined an outcome.
“The military gave me and my family free bus tickets,” said Raymond Peña, now Canadian asylum seeker.
“I am going to Canada for a better quality of life for my family.”
Another migrant, Susy Solzarno, said she only hopes Canada doesn’t have as many homeless people as the US.
“I wanted to live in New York because I thought it would be a better future for my daughters,” she said.
“But as the days went by, I saw insecurity, many homeless people, many people who shout and are disrespectful, and many people on drugs.”
Solzarno told the Post her family was influenced by a Tiktok video that showed other migrants crossing at Roxham Road. Other migrants also report that social media showed them the way.
Last year, illegal immigration levels in Quebec reached new highs.
New York has had an influx of migrants in recent years, particularly since US President Biden was elected.
