NYC Mayor Adams said the city does not push or force people to leave but some express a desire to move on to other places, including Canada.
“We found that people had other destinations, but they were being compelled only to come to New York City, and we are assisting in interviewing those who seek to go somewhere else,” he told the news station.
An official with Adams’ office confirmed the city works with community organizations to “re-ticket to help get people to their final destination.” The municipal administration doesn’t treat requests for bus tickets to Plattsburgh any differently than those for other American cities, the official added.
But the agreement only applies at official border crossings, leading some people to use unofficial crossing points such as Roxham Road to reach Canada. Frechette urged Ottawa to expand the agreement so that it applies across the entire border, from “coast to coast.” Frechette said that while Quebec is prepared to help support refugee claimants, it wants the federal government to ensure other provinces take in a bigger share.
