Frightened immigrants are creeping into Canada through a quiet border town in northeast New York to escape Donald Trump.
The families are fleeing through the town of Champlain which shares a border with Quebec.
They make their crossing on Roxham Road which leads them directly towards the village of Hemmingford and in to the path of Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers who take them to immigration offices where they can apply for asylum.
Since Donald Trump tried to implement a controversial travel ban stopping citizens from Muslim majority countries from entering the US, foot traffic on the road has increased.
Residents told how some families were sneaking over the illegal crossing in the middle of the night to avoid being caught.
'I’m not O.K. with it but I definitely can’t blame them,' Matthew Turner, who lives on Roxham Road, said.
Earlier this month, families claiming to be from Turkey were pictured being arrested after making the crossing at Roxham Road.
Crossing illegally at Roxham Road gives the families a quicker chance of settling in Canada.
It is illegal for any migrant to apply for asylum at the dozens of official border crossings. If they show up hoping for the best, they are turned back to stay in the US.
But if they cross illegally, they are arrested on Canadian soil. Police then have no choice but to allow them to make a refugee claim, process them and release them.
Roxham Road is one of the holes which led officials to liken the border to a block of Swiss Cheese. There are similar crossings happening in Vermont where families ditched their brand new cars and walked across the border last month.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has shared his unequivocal openness to refugees since Trump began adjusting immigration laws.

Where is the Go Fund Me to pay for the taxi cabs or uber or lyft rides to take the emigrants to Rockham Road?
no food stamps or obama/trudeau phones and canadian housing vouchers?
To whom do we send money to buy them bus tickets to Hemmingford?
The more Moslem riff-raff who flee to Canada, the fewer Moslem problems the USA will have.
Good riddance! We never should have allowed them in here in the first place!
watch out for the rapes..for the TB...the assaults...watch out that they'll sit and demand services for the rest of their lives...
perhaps we can print fliers....perhaps our local SJW churches can collect money to send them to Canada...
Why don’t they “flee” to Mexico? Very rarely is anyone checked by Mexican customs when walking across the border from US to Mexico.Mexico can use them because they have a shortage of terrorists.A win win for all.
we need a gofunme page for one way 59 dollar airflights on southwest to get to buffalo...
Translation: They stiffed the banks and the leasing companies.
I’m still not tired of all the WINNING! Forgive me, Lord, for ever having doubted Trump, Thy servant.
according to article, they’re ditching their brand new cars before crossing on foot. Unless they’ve paid for them in cash, it will tank their credit scores...
and if they are paid in full... who gets to keep the abandoned cars?
We’re gonna need another wall.
If onlg all the crimmigrants wanted to flee to canaduh.
Canada is about as stupid as we were before Trump.
My precise first thought. It was Canada or the repo man.
I bet there may be some ‘take over lease’ deals with car companies. Maybe a buyers marketplace if you are looking for a new low mileage car.
Judging by the woman’s attire I’d say those are certainly NOT Mexicans.
SO how exactly did they sneak into our country, and what kind of criminal activities are they involved in that they want to escape the law now?
Maybe Canada has better suicide vest-making materials.
Scores. As in 40-100. They can’t write “hundreds” because it would not be accurate.
Let me know when they start to number the hundreds of thousands like we get in the USA.
So let me get this straight. A trickle of Muslimb parasites (3 or 5 a week) are leaving the USA to go leach off of Canada.
The article makes it sound that it is so horrible for them to live in America now that Trump is president.
One Question: If it is so bad in America, why are we STILL getting 1000 illegals a day pouring into the country?
