Migrants arriving in the Big Apple are now being bussed to Canada on taxpayer-funded buses to flee the ‘drugs, crime and homeless people,’ in New York City.
New York City has been a haven for migrants since they began arriving by the hundreds fleeing countries such as, Venezuela, Columbia, Peru, Honduras, Dominican Republic for a better life.
Many of those illegal immigrants were living at The Watson Hotel located on 57th and Tenth Avenue in taxpayer-funded hotel rooms that cost as much as $450 per night for the last month – until they were removed last weekend and shuttled to one of the city’s Humanitarian Emergency Center, a facility in Red Hook, Brooklyn.
But, it has been revealed that many of the migrants have been getting ‘free tickets’ to Canada that will provide them with a better life and better opportunities and in a country where drug abuse and homelessness is not as prevalent.
One of the Venezuelan migrants who slept outside The Watson Hotel told DailyMail.com that he knows some of the migrants, who are currently being housed at the Red Hook facility, are going to Canada. ‘They don’t want to stay in New York … they want to go to Canada because they will get more help there.’

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been desperately trying to solve the city’s migrant crisis
He also said others are finding other means to live – whether they are trying to find another means of housing- because, he said, ‘no one likes that place[Red Hook]…it’s disgusting.’
Ivan, 33 of Venezuela told DailyMail.com that he was horrified by the rampant drug use that were in the shelters and all the homeless people.
One Venezuelan migrant told the New York Post ‘the military gave me and my family free bus tickets.’
When DailyMail.com contacted the Mayor’s office of Immigration they were unavailable for comment.
But, in December NYC Mayor Eric Adams pleaded with the White House to give aid on the migrant crisis.
‘I’m extremely frustrated,’ Adams said in December.
Since 2022, there have been nearly 21,000 migrants who have been bussed to New York.
But the mayor’s press office has simultaneously attempted to present itself as pro-migrant, with Adam’s press secretary sharing that ‘asylum seekers are also being provided with free roundtrip tickets on a NYC Ferry every day, Fox News reported.
