Asylum seekers still use Roxham Road to enter Canada illegally. Many use the taxi service from a gas station bus stop in Plattsburgh, US, to the Canadian border. Last week, reports unveiled that New York City officials were supplying free bus tickets to migrants on their journey northwards in search of asylum in Canada. Eric Adams, Mayor of NYC, proclaimed that his administration is aiding with the “re-ticketing process” for those who arrive but are eager to go elsewhere. In December, the number of migrants that crossed into Canada through Quebec’s Roxham Road totalled 4,689 – a far higher figure when compared to all those who entered as refugees in 2021.
