New York City is in the center of a nationwide migrant crisis
Bryan Llenas, Fox News correspondent, reports from outside the posh NYC hotel where a migrant protest continues on 'America Reports.'
Migrants are leaving New York City and heading north into Canada on taxpayer-funded buses, according to a new report from the New York Post.
The Big Apple is the center of the migrant crisis on the East Coast after thousands of illegal immigrants have flooded the city, with some living in ritzy, taxpayer-funded hotel rooms.
But not all migrants are pleased with life in the city, telling the New York Post that they would rather accept "free tickets" for a ride up north to Canada and better opportunities in a country with lower rates of homelessness and drug abuse.
"The military gave me and my family free bus tickets," one Venezuelan migrant told the New York Post.

"I am going to Canada for a better quality of life for my family," one migrant, named Raymond Pena told The New York Post.
Another migrant said he was "kicked out" of the Row hotel near Times Square, after which he was sent to a homeless shelter in Brooklyn.
A whistleblower at the Row Hotel released video and photos last month of illegal immigrants trashing the hotel and leaving "good" food out to rot.
"The chaos that we see at the Row today is [caused] by migrants being drunk, drinking all day, smoking marijuana [and] consuming drugs," Felipe Rodriguez said.
The whistleblower also said that the Row was struggling with "domestic violence" among migrants, young people "having sex in the stairs," and a fight between a migrant and a hotel security officer.

Manuel Rodon, a migrant from Venezuela, told the New York Post that he was concerned about rampant drug use in New York City.
"A lot of the Americans used drugs there," he said.
"I feel like Canada will be safer. It is a much quieter country than America," he added.
NYC MAYOR ERIC ADAMS PLEADS WITH WHITE HOUSE FOR MORE HELP ON MIGRANT CRISIS
New York City Mayor Eric Adams has begged the White House to give aid on the migrant crisis.
"I'm extremely frustrated," Adams said in December.
He was referring to the nearly 21,000 migrants who have been bussed to New York since last year.
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."
Adams' press office did not respond immediately to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.

Now THAT is bad..........................but, but, but, migrants aren't bad apples................
But Fox news and New York Post propagandists are.
Way to edit a comment to get it to mean what you want.
Just stating facts.
Far right wing fascist propaganda sources are the root of all evil.
I imagine some migrants are bad apples but the overwhelming majority (just like the bad apples) are our fellow human beings and not feral cats like some call them. Everyone deserves a chance AND sometimes a second chance.
The majority of these folks are fleeing very undesirable areas/conditions/circumstances and just looking for what everyone else is, a decent life.
As compared to leftwing fascist propaganda sources news sources which make up the vast majority of media.
That is the one and only fact when it comes to media bias.
Fox News the boogey man in the forest of leftist media bias.
I could only imagine someone used to living in a place like Guatemala or Honduras being dumped somewhere like Manhattan. I'd want to leave too.
I've always had a good time in Manhattan.
I always have too but I wouldn't want to live there.
Which is the reason they are running to Canada?
From the refrigerator; to the deep freezer.
Maybe they like Molies and back bacon....
Although I lived most of my life in Canada I never heard of "Molies". What are they?
Might be a misspelling of mollies, but it is also slang for a Somalian woman.
What my Canadian friends called Molson beers back in the day.
See 2.2.4
Let me know if I need to explain what back bacon is .....
Okay, that makes sense to me.
So much for the asylum claims the idiots on the left want us to believe.
Why be frustrated? You brought this all on yourself being a "sactuary city".
Should we be surprised when Biden begins giving money to Trudeau to keep the story off the news cycle? Seems like everyone is getting a free ride except American taxpayers.
You should, Canada has a free press and this 'story' has been reported on many times. I am no fan of Justin but then I am no fan of folks who can't seem to decide whose bitch Justin is. Over the past several years he seems to have morphed from Xi's bitch to Vlad's bitch and now to Joe's bitch. Y'all need to get a grip down there in Gilead.
It is possible to be everyone's bitch.
Just ask Brandon.

We don't pay much attention to those who refer to President Biden as Brandon. They say nothing worthwhile, absolutely nothing.
Justin sure as hell can't fill his father's shoes.
Pierre was a special breed at a special time. The acorn is not so gifted.
He was NOBODY'S poodle. It was pretty obvious how much he disliked POTUS Richard Nixon.
Yep, Goober and his Bidenettes continue to fiddle away while selling your kids and grandkids future prosperity down the river.
Honestly though, one can’t really blame illegal immigrants for wanting to leave liberal shitholes like NYC.
No, migrants are moving to the places were they have family, jobs and housing available to them. New York has been welcoming and generous but without money or supportive family here there is hardly a worse place to start from nothing. Who wants to remain indefinitely in a shelter? They want to go to places with many better opportunities?
Sending them to NYC was a cruel gopass stunt!
"I am going to Canada for a better quality of life for my family," one migrant," Go there and be a problem there. Wonder how Canada will like feral cats and the costs they will bring
The minority that calls them "feral cats" will not like it, nothing new there nor here.
"and better opportunities in a country with lower rates of homelessness and drug abuse."
See, that comment shows we have enough problems already without letting more come in,
