Moments after a Greyhound bus from New York City pulls into a gas station bus stop in Plattsburgh, N.Y., Friday at 5:25 a.m., several minivan taxis swarm the vehicle.
About a dozen passengers descend from the bus — mostly single men, but also several couples and a family with three young daughters. They are greeted by four pushy taxi drivers.
Three people have been arrested on suspicion of violent disorder following the rally against refugees in Prescot, Knowsley.
During the evening, missiles were thrown towards officers and damage was caused to a police vehicle, with no injuries reported.
Road closures remain in place and people are advised to avoid the area where possible, Merseyside Police said.

U.S. border patrol agents are driving Quebec-bound asylum seekers to the irregular border crossing on Roxham Road in exchange for money, picking up groups of people in nearby Plattsburgh, N.Y., while off duty, sources tell Radio-Canada.
One source said “this has been known for a few months,” adding that several agents are involved, but the exact number is unknown.
This situation has been reported to Canadian authorities, according to Radio-Canada sources.
Ireland has an immigration problem. Almost a year after refugees started to arrive from Ukraine, leaving state capacity buckled and local communities unnerved, two very different expressions of civic disorder have emerged. In one, migrants are housed in cubicle dorms in office buildings or, even worse, in tents. In the other, grassroots anti-migrant protests are sweeping across the country, rallying around the slogan “Ireland is Full”. There were 307 anti-migrant protests in 2022, while 2023 has already seen 64. At the latest demonstration in Dublin, on Tuesday, more than 2,000 protestors took to the streets.
Some migrants bused to Canada already heading back to NYC
Blame Canada.
Overrun by asylum-seeking migrants sent to the city from southern border states, New York has been offering free bus tickets to the Canadian border for migrants wanting to start a new life up north, but some are turning straight back around.
Ilze Thielmann, the director of nonprofit Team TLC — which has been organizing busses to Plattsburgh, where there is an unofficial crossing to Montreal — said the reality isn’t as rosy as people expect.
Texas Bused Migrants North. Then New York Did the Same.
New York officials, who once condemned Texas leaders for busing migrants from the southern border, calling the treatment inhumane, are buying bus tickets for newcomers who want to go north and seek asylum in Canada.
Mayor Eric Adams had originally welcomed the migrants, but he has since begun echoing the points of southern leaders, saying the city was buckling from the strain of absorbing more than 42,000 people in need.
Now, city officials are assisting the relocation of a growing number of migrants traveling to New York’s northern border, where crossings are surging.
The Immigration and Refugee Board has identified almost 200 cases involving a contracted interpreter, who is facing fraud-related charges for allegedly dispatching unauthorized individuals to do the work on his behalf at virtual hearings.
The arrest of a certified interpreter in Kiswahili/Swahili, Kinyarwanda and Kirundi has raised privacy concerns for vulnerable asylum seekers as the board has transitioned increasingly to online hearings since the early days of the pandemic.
Seven years of foolish Liberal immigration policy is cratering housing, health care and the middle class in the country’s two largest cities, Toronto and Vancouver. A new report by CIBC Capital Markets reveals that the overly rapid immigration problem is much more serious than most people realized.
… Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government is reducing the living standards of Canadians while at the same time attacking the country’s economic base and resource industries.
A whopping 36 per cent of the condos in Toronto are owned by investors, according to a new report published by Statistics Canada via the Canadian Housing Statistics Program.
In some smaller markets, investors account for well over 80 per cent of condo ownership, and across Ontario overall, almost 42 per cent are owned by investors.
The report defines an investor as someone who owns at least one residential property that is not used as their primary place of residence. The data is pulled from early 2020, before the pandemic feeding frenzy hit and prices shot up by more than 50 per cent across the country as interest rates reached historic lows.
This is the result of Trudeau’s immigration policy. Immigrants park their money here to make a profit consequently driving up home prices and making Canada too expensive for Canadians to live in. Then they move on, that’s all they contribute. See Below.
Mayor Eric Adams came under fire Monday from a top Republican member of Congress who accused him of helping migrants illegally leave New York for Canada in violation of US law.
US Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) of Glens Falls blasted the mayor following an exclusive NY Post report that revealed how migrants got free bus tickets to upstate Plattsburgh, then walked into Canada at an unofficial border crossing 20 miles north.
“New Yorkers deserve answers for why their taxpayer dollars are being spent to help illegal immigrants violate their parole and escape the law,” said the No. 4 House Republican, whose district covers Plattsburgh and the Roxham Road crossing into Canada.
Disgruntled migrants fed up with the Big Apple’s crime and grime are taking off to the Great White North — on bus rides paid for by New York taxpayers, The Post has learned.
National Guard soldiers have been helping distribute tickets at the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan to migrants who want to head upstate before crossing into Canada, several migrants said.
Venezuelan native Raymond Peña and his family arrived at a gas station bus stop in Plattsburgh, NY — about 20 miles south of the Canadian border — at 4 a.m. Sunday.

The leftist President of Ireland has attacked anti-mass migration protesters in the country, accusing them of “sowing hate”.
Michael D. Higgins, the President of Ireland, has lashed out at the growing number of anti-mass migration protests taking place in the country, attacking those attending the demonstrations for “sowing hate”.

Immigration is not just a major concern among the people of the U.S. We tend to forget that cities in Europe have also seen major influxes of migrants from across the world, including Germany and now Ireland. The country has seen a large influx of migrants from Ukraine and other countries, and not everyone in the country is happy about it. Now, it appears Ireland’s leaders want to quell dissenting opinions.
IRELAND – Dublin protests at the influx of migrants taking all available housing and council accommodation. Their politicians say migrants are welcome….
…They just didn’t bother asking the people.

Global management consulting giant McKinsey and Company says its contracts with the federal government make up as much as 10 per cent of its gross revenue in Canada.
The Canadian revenue figures for McKinsey’s Canadian operations, contained in a U.S. court filing, show how integral federal government contracts are to the New York-based firm, which has offices in Toronto, Montreal, Calgary and Vancouver.
Ex-McKinsey Chief Dominic Barton has had an insidious influence on Canada’s immigration policy which now serves corporate greed exclusively.

The federal government has been touting the record numbers of immigrants arriving in Canada, but the over 431,000 it cites is in fact less than half the number of newcomers who came to the country last year.
Once combined with non-permanent residents, the number of newcomers in 2022 amounted to an estimated 955,000, which represents “an unprecedented swing in housing demand in a single year that is currently not fully reflected in official figures,” according to a Jan. 25 CIBC report.
The number of new international arrivals in 2023 could reach a million, the report said.
