Countless Central American migrants are fleeing New York City for Canada as the nation’s biggest metropolis continues to struggle with record high crime, violence, and drug abuse.
From Fox News:
Migrants are leaving New York City and heading north into Canada on taxpayer-funded buses, according to a new report from the New York Post.
The Big Apple is the center of the migrant crisis on the East Coast after thousands of illegal immigrants have flooded the city, with some living in ritzy, taxpayer-funded hotel rooms.
But not all migrants are pleased with life in the city, telling the New York Post that they would rather accept “free tickets” for a ride up north to Canada and better opportunities in a country with lower rates of homelessness and drug abuse.
“The military gave me and my family free bus tickets,” one Venezuelan migrant told the New York Post.
“I am going to Canada for a better quality of life for my family,” one migrant, named Raymond Peña told The New York Post.
Another migrant said he was “kicked out” of the Row hotel near Times Square, after which he was sent to a homeless shelter in Brooklyn.
