Even the migrants cannot tolerate the crime, drugs, filth, and homeless problems of New York City.
The New York Post reported migrants are using taxpayer-funded bus tickets to Canada to escape New York City.
Venezuelan native Raymond Peña told the publication the military gave him the tickets. He wants to go “to Canada for a better quality of life for my family.”
Manuel Rodon, another Venezuelan, cited the drugs:
Venezuelan native Manuel Rodon, 26, who arrived in Plattsburgh around 4 a.m. Saturday, said he decided to leave the city after getting “kicked out” of the Row NYC hotel near Times Square and relocated to a homeless shelter in Brooklyn.Rodon described the shelter as “OK” except for the American residents.“A lot of the Americans used drugs there,” he said. “I feel like Canada will be safer. It is a much quieter country than America.”Rodon, who crossed the border about an hour after getting to Plattsburgh, said he knew eight other Venezuelans who’d made the same trip.“They all got free tickets, too. It was the same process,” he said. “It took them three days through customs. They are all safe. They live in Montreal.”
Rodon wanted to become a citizen and get his papers to work in construction. But he said it’s “very difficult to get papers in America.” He needs to work so off to Canada!
A family from Peru went to Canada because their daughter saw migrants taking the trip on a TikTok video.
Susy Sanchez Solzarno, 33, said the family stayed in a NYC Mariott for a month:
“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 said she sold candy in the subway system for almost two weeks to pay for their trip.“I am going to Canada for the safety and future of my girls,” she said. “I only ask God that everything goes well and that Canada is not like the United States.”
The New York Post received confirmation from a National Guard source that soldiers told the migrants who to see to get the tickets at the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan. Someone at City Hall said Mayor Eric Adams gives money to “various companies that run programs for migrants that include ‘re-ticketing’ so they can travel to other cities.
Migrants hear that Canada “is the place to go.” It’s a sanctuary country because Prime Minister Justin Trudeau bragged his country has a long “proud and longstanding tradition of welcoming people seeking safety.”
The buses go through Plattsburgh, NY, each day. Shuttles then take the migrants to the Canadian border.
New York Post reporters saw ripped-up pieces of paper from the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement in one shuttle van.
Chad’s Shuttle Services operates one of the three vans to the border. The reporters hitched a ride on one with a driver named Tyler Tambini:
Driver Tyler Tambini, whose girlfriend’s brother owns the company, said passengers arrive like clockwork on the five buses from New York City that stop in Plattsburgh each day.“There’s gotta be 100 people a day,” said Tambini, 23. “I do this all day. They get dropped off and I take them the rest of the way.”Tambini said his employer charged single migrants $40 to $50 each and families $90. Taxi drivers, who charge single migrants $70 each, compete for business by rushing to the buses to solicit passengers and help them with their luggage.
The van takes the migrants “to the end of rural Roxham Road, just steps from the Canadian border.” The migrants follow a path to a bunch of metal sheds.
A Mountie tells the migrants they “have entered Canada” and “are under arrest.” They need to put everything in their bags. They can keep money in their pockets.
The migrants follow the Mounties up a ramp “and into a shed for processing.”
