Feb 6 - Migrants are disgusted by NYC and Mayor offers them bus rides to Canada
 

 
As migrants arrive in NYC, National Guard soldiers have been stationed in the Port Authority bus terminal to hand out free tickets for shuttles heading upstate towards the Canadian border.

NYC City Hall has been paying a number of organizations to a*sist in their re-ticketing program, according to The Post.

One such organization was Catholic Charities Community Services, which said it had helped 'thousands of new migrants' relocate out of NYC.

A spokesperson for Catholic Charities said some of those migrants 'reported their desire to relocate to other cities, and Catholic Charities provided] some a*sistance for their travel expenses.'

One of those migrants participating in the re-ticketing plan was Raymond Peña, a Venezuelan who left NYC early Sunday morning.

'The military gave me and my family free bus tickets,' he told The Post. 'I am going to Canada for a better quality of life for my family.'

Those buses travel as far north as Plattsburgh - just shy of the Canadian border - where local van and taxi services bring them the rest of the way and drop them where Canadian police can gather them.

'There's gotta be 100 people a day,' driver Tyler Tambini, 23, told The Post. 'I do this all day. They get dropped off and I take them the rest of the way.'

The service Tambini drives for charges up to $50 to transport individuals, and families for $90.

Migrants get dropped steps from the Canadian border, where they cross and are apprehended by Canadian police.

Representatives from City Hall did not comment on how much the re-ticketing program cost, and instead said it was merely a part of its longstanding plan for migrants.

'As we have said since the beginning of this crisis, our goal is help connect asylum seekers who want to move to a different location with friends, family, and/or community and, if needed, re-ticket to help get people to their final destination, if not New York City,' a spokesperson said, according to The Post.

NY Governor Kathy Hochul's office confirmed the National Guard had been deployed to Port Authority, but did not say where funds for re-ticketing came from.

'At the request of the city, National Guard members have been deployed to the Port Authority Bus Terminal, where they greet people upon arrival, answer questions and direct them to services, including transportation options that they seek,' a spokesperson said.

Numerous migrants traveling to Canada reported being disgusted by the conditions they faced in NYC, where they felt at risk from homeless people and drug users.

'I wanted to live in New York because I thought it would be a better future for my daughters,' said 33-year-old Peruvian Susy Sanchez Solzarno, who was traveling with her family. 'But as the days went by, I saw insecurity, many homeless people, many people who shout and are disrespectful, and many people on drugs.'

'I am going to Canada for the safety and future of my girls,' she told The Post. 'I only ask God that everything goes well and that Canada is not like the United States.'

Manuel Rodon, a 26-year-old from Venezuela, said he was kicked out of the Times Square hotel where he'd initially been housed and sent to a shelter where he felt unsafe.

'A lot of the Americans used drugs there,' Rodon said. 'I feel like Canada will be safer. It is a much quieter country than America.'

He said he knew eight other Venezuelans who had all successfully migrated to Canada.

'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.'


He and others said they learned about the ease of migrating to Canada through social media.

'It is very difficult to get papers in America,' Rodon said. 'I need to work, so I am going to Canada.'

Adams has been bullish on asking for federal help over the city's migrant crisis.

Washington has approved $800million in spending to aid the crisis but it will go to various cities across the country.

Even if it were all going to New York, the city will still spend more money on its own to help the migrants, according to .

However, Adams bragged Sunday that the migrants will live in better conditions than in other cities.

'People are sleeping on the streets in El Paso,' Adams said at the rally. 'There sleeping in airports. I spoke to my colleague in Chicago, people are sleeping in the basement of libraries. No family is sleeping on our streets.'

He added that there are no plans for the city to stop taking in migrants but that they will need extra preparation if the Supreme Court lets Title 42 - the pandemic rule making it harder to seek asylum in the US - expire

Activists are not happy with the constant moves, saying that it's not an adequate fix.

'Now they're going to be moved to a building that was not designed for living, that the city is gonna have to prepare for people to sleep in, and only for a short period of time,' Josh Goldfein of the Legal Aid Society said.

'We're gonna invest a lot of resources to get this building ready only to dismantle it again, I guess when cruise ships start coming in again.'

The location is also isolated and far away from accessing medical care and opportunities to work.

'The city has tens of thousands of New Yorkers in shelter currently who were there before the migrants started coming who could move out if they had some a*sistance,' Goldfein added.

Despite his proclamations, Adams previously made headlines for saying 'there is no more room' after previously stating the city would always welcome migrants.

Buses of migrants have been arriving in NYC since fall when Republican governors, primarily Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, began sending asylum seekers from the border to largely Democratic-leaning cities.

Sounds like they want to leave, so you want NYC to force them to stay?

Did they want to stay in El Paso or Colorado and were forced to leave then too?

I'm not saying they should force them to stay. I'm saying that they shouldn't have been bi*ching about other states in the first place




and answer to the rhetorical question is: they weren't forced to leave either. They were provided free transportation to continue on. But the media framed it a certain way because, well, we know why.

What's probably going to happen is Canada will take them and then once this story dies out they will deport them back to their countries. I remember reading about how illegals ran off to Canada when Trump was voted in because they were worried about deportation and just ended up in the same situation in Canada.

Dems really did take an L here. Before anyone quotes me with some weird a*s right rant just stop now because I'm not for it.

But Dems been getting their bluffs called left and right from Martha's Vineyard to NYC.

I watched an interview and it’s basically their relative who come to America like to stunt and act like they are living like kings. They tell folks back home how much money they have and send pics of car and houses that aren’t there’s. Same for the cartels they advertise on Facebook they America is letting everyone in and this is the best time to come because they’ll give you a bunch of free stuff.

I think about that to.
The city has become white washed and i think that has a lot to do with it.
Very generic and money grabby.
As a child, def was too young to realize certain sh*t but i will always remember how this place has always been a factory for nut cases lol

I think it may change for the better to an extent but capitalism also plays a huge role in why the city is the way it is.
Gentrification/white washing mixed with capitalism will forever be a terrible combination

These people want to leave NYC on their own accord, they've been taken care of and are ready to move on

As much as people oppose communism, especially the reich wingers, I'm surprised I haven't really seen anyone talk about that too much online and irl.

I haven't seen anything that said they were duped but I don't pretend to know the whole story of each state, etc. So that could be possible.

I do know in CO that our governor basically offered free transportation if they wanted it. But was criticized by Adams as well saying it was unfair to bus them to NY

funny how the cries of human trafficking have disappeared. What happened to the whole 'we are a nation of immigrants' and 'we will feed your hungry' talk?

Funny how quick these dems sound like republicans once the money is coming out of their pockets and their gated communities aren't sheltered from their own policies any more.
