Blame Canada.
Overrun by asylum-seeking migrants sent to the city from southern border states, New York has been offering free bus tickets to the Canadian border for migrants wanting to start a new life up north, but some are turning straight back around.
Ilze Thielmann, the director of nonprofit Team TLC — which has been organizing busses to Plattsburgh, where there is an unofficial crossing to Montreal — said the reality isn’t as rosy as people expect.
She told CBS: “They think that there are all these jobs up there. They think they’re going to be able to get asylum very easily up there and that’s just not the case.”
The Post first reported about the controversial program last week, with migrants receiving free tickets at the Port Authority bus terminal courtesy of charities funded by taxpayers.

Despite the free ride, Thielmann said migrants are getting frustrated with conditions and opting to return to New York City, where shelters and services have been strained by 43,000 asylum seekers in the past year.
Colombian native Jose Liandro, 37, crossed into Canada last week but told the Post via text after settling at a Hampton Inn and Suites hotel on the outskirts of Montreal he wanted to return to the US. see also Biden migrant crisis to cost NYC $4.2B, more than twice what mayor warned
Asked why, Liandro replied, “Mucha nieve,” Spanish for, “Lots of snow.”

The Royal Scam - Steely Dan
And they wandered in
From the city of St. John
Without a dime
Wearing coats that shined
Both red and green
Colors from their sunny island
From their boats of iron
They looked upon the promised land
Where surely life was sweet
On the rising tide
To New York City
Did they ride into the street
See the glory
Of the royal scam
They are hounded down
To the bottom of a bad town
Amid the ruins
Where they learn to fear
An angry race of fallen kings
Their dark companions
While the memory of
Their southern sky was clouded by
A savage winter
Every patron saint
Hung on the wall, shared the room
With twenty sinners
See the glory
Of the royal scam
By the blackened wall
He does it all
He thinks he’s died and gone to heaven
Now the tale is told
By the old man back home
He reads the letter
How they are paid in gold
Just to babble in the back room
All night and waste their time
And they wandered in
From the city of St. John without a dime
See the glory
Of the royal scam

I hear that the beaches of Costa Rica are nice and warm.
Let these freeloader criminals freeze and use them for compost. Save room in the heap for Biden and all the enablers for this disgraceful neglect of our border security.
Hardly “overrun.” The Yankee cities have been getting planeloads of wetbacks nightly courtesy of the US Government Alien Dispersal Air Fleet.
Or North Dakota.
We need to exterminate these human cockroaches and their enablers.
I vote due east about 1000 miles?
Not exactly Immigrant Song material.
We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow
When the USA gets nuked by Russia and China, the surviving illegal immigrants will suddenly decide to go back to their home countries because the easy life is no longer available and surviving patriotic Americans will take matters into their own hands.
Snow and you have to speak French and eat poutine!
Send them all to Ukraine to fight the ROOSKIES or send them all to Russia to fight the UKIES.
Most are military age young men and both the Russians and Ukrainians need cannon fodder desperately, PROBLEM SOLVED!
I thought Canada was very strict about the giving of citizenship. I don’t know how strict they are for residency or for people just popping up.
Canada should bus them to Martha’s Vineyard. Obama can put them up in his mansion.
......when Trump gets back in office, he should offer EVERYONE (head of family) in the U.S. illegally something like $10,000, one time, to go home.
I expect there would be many takers and that that would be a good investment relative to the billions illegals cost us.
To get the $10,000.00 they would sign a contract. Part of that contract would provide for a 5 year prison term if they come back. Ofcourse The Liberals would whine and cry but that’s a given......to hell with them.
