It’s been nothing short of fascinating to watch New York City Mayor Eric Adams pivot from open-armed leader of a sanctuary city to weary protector of a city overwhelmed by an unstoppable flood of migrants.
Last month, Adams floated the idea of special “spaces” to house migrants he wasn’t sure where to put in his sanctuary city.
Well, apparently he — with the blessing of New York Governor Kathy Hochul — found a very special space for them: Canada.

More from our friends at HotAir:
Governor Hochul has confirmed that National Guard members have been deployed to Port Authority. They greet the migrants upon arrival and answer questions. They also hand out free tickets for shuttles that will take them up to the Canadian border. From there they can walk across the border to be met by Canadian police. City Hall officials call it a ‘re-ticketing’ plan to help migrants work their way to Canada. Justin Trudeau has been outspoken about building a haven for people in need so New York is taking him up on his claim.
You really can’t make this stuff up. The illegal aliens taking part in this program are moving on from New York because they think Canada will be more welcoming than the United States. Migrants have been housed, fed, and provided whatever services are needed … yet they don’t feel welcomed. They cross into this country illegally, are provided with what they need in the border state, then are provided transportation to a sanctuary city or state of their choice. Now they have the option to seek greener pastures in Canada.
Oh my!
Pretty amazing.

Isn’t this human trafficking?

That’s certainly what it sounds like!
You know who else gave free bus/train tickets to people they didn't want around? pic.twitter.com/gvQsqu4Xwc

Snort. Someone had to say it.
He's treating them like pawns in a sick game, or something like that, right? I mean they're human beings!

This is human trafficking. This is not who we are. What does the statue in your harbor say?

But I thought NYC was a sanctuary city, @NYCMayor? The Statue of Liberty is so disappointed in you. https://t.co/ISVikSHa9B

Hey, if you think about it, Adams and Hochul are actually doing these migrants a huge favor:
And some asylum seekers are taking the free buses to Canada because they see too much public disorder in New York City: pic.twitter.com/6GKADw1e1g

To force migrants to live in New York City would effectively constitute cruel and unusual punishment.
