In New York State, a surprising flow of illegal emigrants
Hot Air ^ | August 9,2017 | Jazz Shaw

Seven days a week, 24 hours a day, migrants who came to the U.S. from across the globe — Syria, Congo, Haiti, elsewhere — arrive here where Roxham Road dead-ends so they can walk into Canada, hoping its policies will give them the security they believe the political climate in the United States does not.

“In Trump’s country, they want to put us back to our country,” said Lena Gunja, a 10-year-old from Congo, who until this week had been living in Portland, Maine. She was traveling with her mother, father and younger sister. “So we don’t want that to happen to us, so we want a good life for us. My mother, she wants a good life for us.”

The passage has become so crowded this summer that Canadian police set up a reception center on their side of the border in the Quebec community of Saint-Bernard-de-Lacolle, about 30 miles (50 kilometers) south of Montreal, or almost 300 miles (480 kilometers) north of New York City.

Exactly. Illegal immigrants are a serious problem, but… illegal emigrants? Most of the ones the AP reporters spoke to were from Haiti and they were in the United States illegally to begin with. Should we really care if they’ve decided to leave and become Canada’s problem? Now that I stop and think about it, perhaps some of that DoJ and Homeland Security grant money that’s not going to the sanctuary cities anymore could be put to a new use. Bus tickets! Any illegals who truly wish to do so could get a free bus ride to Champlain, being dropped off within easy strolling distance of the unofficial crossing. It’s got to be cheaper than keeping them in jail for weeks on end.

Learn from Mexico. Give them instructions on how to get to Canada. Just make sure its a one-way flow and they don't come back.

Canada sounds like a great place for them.

Soon their economy will put ours to shame with all those productive immigrants.

Correction: "hoping its policies will give them the security they believe the political climate rule of law in the United States does not. "

Since DeBloathole has made NYC a sanctuary city it surprises me they don’t head there.

That’s right, little Lena. It’s called fair. You live in your country, we’ll live in ours.

I love waking up to wonderful news like this.

I want a good life too.

Ocean View Mansion, a Garage full of Ferraris, Millions in the Bank, a Supermodel Girlfriend, a Yacht, President Trump for eight years and every Democrat / RINO Politician hung for Treason.

I’ll add to the list later on.

Read the headline again.

As it is written, it says there are people leaving New York illegally.

I can see where the liberals don't want taxpayers leaving.
