It seems like only yesterday that Republican politicians were being accused of racism or being kidnapped for the ‘crime’ of transporting illegal immigrants to other cities.
Now, New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat, is shipping illegals to Canada’s frozen border.
And not a peep from the mainstream media peanut gallery.
The New York Post reports that the mayor’s administration is paying multiple companies to provide “re-ticketing” services for those who want to relocate to other locations.
This is madness. New York City has National Guard troops handing out free tickets to Wrexham Road so immigrants can seek asylum in Canada. https://t.co/QRg181MCF4

Deporting illegal immigrants to Canada
The outlet points out that destinations are limited within the United States, but “word has spread among the expat community that Canada … is the place to go.”
Likewise, illegal immigrants are being provided with “free bus tickets” (free means taxpayer-funded) to Plattsburgh, New York, about 20 miles south of the Canadian border.

“From there, they pay for taxis and shuttles to take them to Quebec,” writes BBC News.
A spokesperson for Mayor Adams told the Post, “As we’ve said from the beginning of this crisis, our goal is to help connect asylum seekers who want to relocate with friends, family and/or community. If necessary, re-ticket to help get people to their final destination, if not in New York City.
The Republican governors of Texas and Florida have said the same thing while transporting illegal immigrants to Democrat cities.

Adams, Democrats are hypocrites
When Republicans do this, the Left accuses them of kidnapping and human trafficking. So what does Eric Adams say now that he’s been busing illegal immigrants within a few inches of the Canadian border?
What a raging hypocrite.
Adams, until he was smacked with reality several months ago, had always bragged that New York City was a ‘sanctuary city’.
“We must protect our immigrants.” duration
Yes, New York City will remain a sanctuary city under the Adams administration. #EricOnNBC

“New York City has always been a city of immigrants,” he said Not long ago.
Now, they are just a pit stop on the way to the frozen tundra.
Oh well, at least they’re welcomed with open arms in Canada, where Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau once said illegals are welcomed because “diversity is our strength.”
For those fleeing persecution, terrorism and war, Canadians welcome you regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength #WelcomeCanada

Or maybe.
Quebec Immigration Minister Christine Fréchette was caught off guard by the relocation effort and said it was “surprising” that Eric Adams would start busing illegal immigrants to the Canadian border.
Likewise, she urged her country to crack down on the unofficial border crossing south of Montreal.
“I think it makes the urgency of the situation even clearer,” Frechette said of the loophole that allows migrants to cross from New York.
Cracks over border crossings hardly seem neighborly.

Adams visited El Paso, Texas, last month and described the Biden administration’s fueling surge of illegal immigrants at the border as a “national crisis.”
Meanwhile, the NYC mayor couldn’t convince illegal immigrants to move to a ‘mega-shelter’ in Brooklyn last week, but he somehow managed to convince them that Canada is a destination resort.
