Migrants are being dropped in upstate New York near the Canadian border
From there private shuttle companies bring them to the border where they cross
It is unclear how much New York City has spent on the busing program
Migrants are getting fed up with the hustle and bustle of New York City, and are leaving for Canada on buses paid for with taxpayer money.
As migrants arrive in NYC, National Guard soldiers have been stationed in the Port Authority bus terminal to hand out free tickets for shuttles heading upstate towards the Canadian border.
City Hall sources said the move was part of a 're-ticketing' plan to help migrants work their way to Canada, according to The New York Post, where president Justin Trudeau has been outspoken about building a haven for people in need.
Some of the migrants taking the National Guardsmen up on their offer told The Post they were heading to Canada because they felt it would be more welcoming for them and provide better opportunities than the United States.
The news comes as a large group of migrants was publicly ousted from a ritzy midtown hotel they'd been housed in, and Mayor Eric Adams has been desperately trying to convince that the city's shelters are a safe and hospitable option.
NYC City Hall has been paying a number of organizations to assist in their re-ticketing program, according to The Post.
One such organization was Catholic Charities Community Services, which said it had helped 'thousands of new migrants' relocate out of NYC.
A spokesperson for Catholic Charities said some of those migrants 'reported their desire to relocate to other cities, and Catholic Charities provided some assistance for their travel expenses.'
One of those migrants participating in the re-ticketing plan was Raymond Peña, a Venezuelan who left NYC early Sunday morning.
'The military gave me and my family free bus tickets,' he told The Post. 'I am going to Canada for a better quality of life for my family.'
Those buses travel as far north as Plattsburgh - just shy of the Canadian border - where local van and taxi services bring them the rest of the way and drop them where Canadian police can gather them.
'There's gotta be 100 people a day,' driver Tyler Tambini, 23, told The Post. 'I do this all day. They get dropped off and I take them the rest of the way.'
The service Tambini drives for charges up to $50 to transport individuals, and families for $90.
Migrants get dropped steps from the Canadian border, where they cross and are apprehended by Canadian police.
Representatives from City Hall did not comment on how much the re-ticketing program cost, and instead said it was merely a part of its longstanding plan for migrants.
'As we have said since the beginning of this crisis, our goal is help connect asylum seekers who want to move to a different location with friends, family, and/or community and, if needed, re-ticket to help get people to their final destination, if not New York City,' a spokesperson said, according to The Post.
NY Governor Kathy Hochul's office confirmed the National Guard had been deployed to Port Authority, but did not say where funds for re-ticketing came from.
'At the request of the city, National Guard members have been deployed to the Port Authority Bus Terminal, where they greet people upon arrival, answer questions and direct them to services, including transportation options that they seek,' a spokesperson said.
Numerous migrants traveling to Canada reported being disgusted by the conditions they faced in NYC, where they felt at risk from homeless people and drug users.
'I wanted to live in New York because I thought it would be a better future for my daughters,' said 33-year-old Peruvian Susy Sanchez Solzarno, who was traveling with her family. 'But as the days went by, I saw insecurity, many homeless people, many people who shout and are disrespectful, and many people on drugs.'
'I am going to Canada for the safety and future of my girls,' she told The Post. 'I only ask God that everything goes well and that Canada is not like the United States.'
Manuel Rodon, a 26-year-old from Venezuela, said he was kicked out of the Times Square hotel where he'd initially been housed and sent to a shelter where he felt unsafe.
'A lot of the Americans used drugs there,' Rodon said. 'I feel like Canada will be safer. It is a much quieter country than America.'
He said he knew eight other Venezuelans who had all successfully migrated to Canada.
'They all got free tickets, too. It was the same process,' he said. 'It took them three days through customs. They are all safe. They live in Montreal.'
He and others said they learned about the ease of migrating to Canada through social media.
'It is very difficult to get papers in America,' Rodon said. 'I need to work, so I am going to Canada.'
Despite his proclamations, Adams previously made headlines for saying 'there is no more room' after previously stating the city would always welcome migrants.
Buses of migrants have been arriving in NYC since fall when Republican governors, primarily Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, began sending asylum seekers from the border to largely Democratic-leaning cities.

I can't see how sending someone to Canada in February is helping them, but that's just me.

Soon there will be travel agencies available so illegal aliens can more fully enjoy a wider range of amenities and activities throughout their grand tour of America’s sanctuary cities.
I wonder if the ones that go across the northern border will be sneaking back across with hockey bags stuffed with cases of Seagrams.

Greyhound Therapy has been around for many years. Usually it is the homeless and the people who drag down the city with high costs that get the one-way bus ticket, a bag lunch and a few dollars in their pocket so they can be someone else's problem.

Oh thanks a million or more!!!! Just what we needed up here. Send them to Tadoule Lake in Manitoba in mid January and that should take care of thr problem within a day or so.
[BIZPACREVIEW] A white, female Willamette University professor is scheduled to host a veritable struggle session this month at a local library "for white people to reflect together on what it means to ’do our work’ as white people."
The professor, Emily Drew, predictably "teaches courses about racism, white supremacy ...the pernicious doctrine that laws were intended to be obeyed, that society works better when people don't pour shreiking from their places of worship every Friday for a weekend of rioting over insults real or imagined; and that cannibalism, beastiality, incest, murder, theft, rape, and similar activities are bad. A Dead White European (which invalidates his opinion) philosopher once opined that societies thrive when a person's word can be relied upon, and that a society which puts individual happiness first will invariably fail. Strangely enough, other successful societies, such as China, Japan, Korea, and those kinds of places could also be lumped with white supremacist societies, since they push the same values... , immigration, and social change," according to a biography.
"Her research agenda revolves around understanding how race and racism get institutionalized, with the goal of helping to illuminate more effective strategies for interrupting systemic inequality," the biography reads.
She also performs work for Crossroads, an "antiracism" consulting form whose mission centers on "dismantling racism" and "building racial justice in institutions."

....that's why she got the credentials that she did. The question that presents is if the line of work is above journalism or below on the scale of worthlessness.
[NYPOST] Nearly seven years after most media abandoned standards of fairness in a stampede to defeat Donald Trump ...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party... , it is widely accepted that those outlets can not be trusted to deliver accurate reports. Rather than perform the journalists’ duty of informing the public of news, many of today’s news hounds and editors concoct narratives about events that consistently align with the agenda of the Democratic Party.
This overt embrace of partisanship is a major factor in two developments roiling the nation. The first is a hardening of polarization that deeply divides voters and leaves government unable to agree on solutions to even basic problems.
The second is that mistrust of the media is proving contagious, with Americans losing faith in most institutions, including those in the private sector as well as government.
Even the military, which long stood above the political fray, suffers from declining public trust, adding to fears that America is headed toward a second civil war and is more vulnerable to foreign adversaries.
Understanding this moment of peril is essential to appreciating the importance of a new work about how the media veered off track in its war against Trump. The author, veteran investigative journalist Jeff Gerth, follows the admonition to show readers what happened instead of merely telling them.
His exhaustive dissection in the Columbia Journalism Review is a case study that demonstrates in detail exactly where Big Media, especially The New York Times
... which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... and Washington Post, made critical errors in their coverage of the Russian collusion story.
Naturally, all the key mistakes ran in the same direction. Most, including suggestions Trump and others committed treason, have never been corrected despite being proven to be false.

Yellow journalism, the use of lurid features and sensationalized news in newspaper publishing to attract readers and increase circulation. The phrase was coined in the 1890s to describe the tactics employed in the furious competition between two New York City newspapers, the World and the Journal. - Britannica

Journalistic standards have been theoretical or low in my lifetime. Prior to that there was competition between news outlets that resulted mostly sensationalism. Since the founding of our country, newspapers have been weaponized to swing public opinion one way or another - often towards war or invasion. I don’t find any evidence in American history of media being objective about politics.

Chinese spy balloons over US during Trump admin 'discovered after' he left office: senior Biden official
The problem with that story is that these "officials" have ruined their credibility. Nobody believes it and, if they do, they are suspicious that intel community operatives did not inform Trump about it knowing that Trump would have ordered the balloon to be shot down. The Chinese would have then been upset with them. Can't have that.
They're like the boy who called wolf. Nobody believes them anymore. The danger is that some day they might need to tell us something really important and nobody will believe it.

Regarding the CCP Spy Balloon.
We all remember Trump could not help anyone or do anything w/o the media playing a Evil Demon Trump narrative.
So what are the odds that this actually also happened under the Trump Admin and the LSD's did not say a word. Nor the Media play it to push Anti-Trump propaganda and click bait revenues.
Too bad they can't be deported back to the Caliphornia or New York that burped them up.
[FOXNEWS] Community activist muppets in Houston are calling for a restaurant patron who shot and killed a robbery suspect during a holdup to be arrested, saying he went beyond self-defense despite many calling him a hero.
Customers were eating inside a local taqueria when 30-year-old Eric Eugene Washington entered and pointed a pistol at them and demanded cash. As he gathered the cash, an armed patron can be seen on surveillance video getting up from the booth he was sitting in and shooting his pistol at Washington multiple times.
"He was within the law when he fired the first initial shots," said activist muppet Quanell X in a news conference in front of the establishment. "But we believe he went from being a law-abiding citizen to a lawbreaker."

Seeing camera time, national fame and awareness..PLUS $$$$$$$. The Houston Activists Political Agenda entrepreneurs jump on the opportunity to cash in using a nationally known incident for personal gains.
BTW: Regarding the shooting. I was OK with the defensive actions. But when he administered the coup de grâce to an obvious already neutralized thug that is where the issues started.
So I guess he could be charged with Texas Penal Code - § 42.08. Abuse of Corpse. which could get him from 180 days to 2 years and up to a $10K fine.

These people want prison sentences only for people who do good things, not for criminals.
After all, if the hero had been a policeman instead, this would be a cause celebre with rioting all over the country denouncing police brutality.

Here's the thing, the prosecutor isn't going to do crap, cause even in Harris county, juries will either no bill or deliver a not guilty verdict. Many people here feel that the moment that guy walked in with a gun to rob the place, he forfeited everything and whatever he got is just desserts. It makes the Lefty DA's froth at the mouth but they would rather not charge than wind up with a loss.
[NYPOST] New York City’s black population has dropped 9% since 2000, with the exodus apparently accelerating after the eight disastrous de Blasio years. Advocates and officials wonder why, but there’s nothing unique about it: Black Americans mainly want the same things all Americans want.
The decline has been steepest among young black New Yorkers: The city’s number of black children and teens cratered by a fifth from 2010 to 2020. That means families are heading out — and many heading south.
Partly, it’s the city’s insane housing market, which is brutal on growing families. All the rent laws benefit the "haves": people who don’t need to move. Hoping your kids can have a room of their own? The median rent for an available two-bedroom apartment in New York City is $4,859; in Atlanta, $2,450.
Education is another reason to leave: Most public schools in minority neighborhoods are disasters. That’s why there’s such an enormous appetite for public charter schools — but the teachers unions (more "haves") use their political power to prevent the charter sector from growing to meet the demand. Our way or the highway, says the United Federation of Teachers, and parents determined to do better for their kids hit the road.
Crime, too, has an outsize effect on black New Yorkers. They’re 23% of the city population, but 67% of homicide victims. For rapes, it’s around 38%; felonious assault, about 46%. So rising crime means rising black departures.
But this is more than just the "de Blasio effect." It also reflects the experience of every ethnic group that’s ever been a big part of the Big Apple: The Irish, Italians and Jews all largely moved away; why would blacks be any different?
Remember, New York City’s black population (like other northern cities’) was swelled by the Great Migration — people looking for prosperity in a city on the rise.
Now they’re leaving. And it shows that black Americans, for all the ways their history might be unique, have real economic and social agency in the face of city policies that don’t work for them.

I have asked my friends who are reformed Yankees (aka transplants). If Racial issues have been resolved up North, as we constantly hear and read in the media.
Why are so many Yankee's moving South to Conservative States?
The answers I get vary a little, but many seem to focus around:
BETTER living conditions, opportunities, less racism, lower cost of living, political, moral & social sensibility, safety, and just plain elbow room.

No one can afford to move there. People can leave for a red state and make 30% less in wages but will still be able to buy a house and live an equivalent lifestyle to having received a 20% pay raise.
Out of the folks that stay, it does not demographically help for them to abort half their babies.

[BREITBART] Anne Holton, wife of U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine Hillary's running mate in 2016. Remember him? (D-VA), denounced the Declaration of Independence and Constitution as "fundamental in enshrining slavery."
Holton made the comments as Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s (R) new history standards were approved 5-3 by the Commonwealth’s Board of Education, upon which she sits.
"To an audience as inclusive as our Virginia is, you cannot reference the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution as ’remarkable documents’ without also acknowledging that they [are] fundamental in enshrining slavery, and limiting the protections that they provided only to white property-owning men," she said.
Holton also served as Virginia’s Secretary of Education under former Gov. Terry McAuliffe ...If you constructed what a political boss looks like, it would be him.... (D), who tanked his own campaign against Youngkin by making anti-parent remarks regarding the education of the Commonwealth’s children.
The history standards were written at least in part to correct disinformation and anti-America propaganda injected into the curriculum through the use of Critical Race Theory
...teaches that skin color is the most important characteristic of any person, which translates to separate but equal with a different bunch in charge. All whites and Asians are born racist and racism permeates every aspect of society, which should be dismantled and the remains turned over to the kind of dipshit who pushes this nonsense... — something Youngkin ran on during his campaign.
However, man does not live by words alone, despite the fact that sometimes he has to eat them... the unveiling of those standards had a rocky start, with the initial revision facing severe backlash and a rejection by the same school board. Youngkin acknowledged of the initial standards that there were "omissions and mistakes."
The new standards, which were approved to move toward a public comment period, will likely see revisions in April.
Youngkin board appointee Andy Rotherham — who was appointed to the board by Sen. Mark Warner (D) when he was governor — said that it was "good work" but that the document needed improvement. He believes ultimately that the board needed to "get this to the public."
"Come April, for me to feel good, there’s going to have to be a chance to render improvements," Youngkin board appointee and former Salem City Schools superintendent Alan Siebert said.
However, man does not live by words alone, despite the fact that sometimes he has to eat them... in a Richmond Times-Dispatch piece written by the Virginia superintendent of public instruction and executive officer of the Virginia Board of Education, Jillian Balow argued that the new standards reinvigorate history and civics as central to the American and Virginian identity.
"American history and the tenets of our founding documents are not trivia to be Googled when needed and then quickly forgotten," she wrote.
"There is an increased emphasis on civics, beginning in the early elementary grades," she continued. "As students advance, they learn about the vision of our Founding Fathers and its relevance today. George Washington is again ’The Father of Our Country’ and James Madison is again ’The Father of the Constitution.’"

Slavery has been over for a long time. In America, anyway, except when imported by certain foreign ethnic groups. Otherwise, it's still going on around the world.
Lots of blood was spilled by what the left now calls "privileged whites" to end slavery in America. Said PWs took it upon themselves to do it.
As for the "legacy" or "lasting impact" of slavery (again I'm speaking of here in America only) quite a few trillion has been spent since LBJ's time on that issue. Trying to say that the "reparations clock" doesn't start - or stop - until some self-identified group says so is a non-starter.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
