00:00:00.000 Welcome everyone to Ratioed. My name is Harrison Faulkner. Well if you haven't seen this already
00:00:12.340 you might honestly not believe it. New York is giving free bus tickets to asylum seekers to
00:00:17.920 take them upstate near the border with Canada. City officials say it's to help the migrants but
00:00:23.220 some believe it's just a way to get them out of the United States altogether. New York City has
00:00:28.260 been secretly sending thousands of illegal migrants up to Roxham Road on free taxpayer-funded
00:00:34.560 bus tickets. In an act of stunning hypocrisy, the kind of hypocrisy only reserved for politicians, 0.87
00:00:40.800 New York City Mayor Eric Adams in less than a year went from calling the practice of busing
00:00:45.480 migrants from Texas to New York horrific to now openly admitting to doing the exact same thing. 0.99
00:00:51.920 Now any normal country would shut down an illegal port of entry being exploited by tens of thousands
00:00:56.360 of people a year to stop people from breaking our laws. But Canada as you all know is not a normal
00:01:01.740 country. Any attempt in Canada to try and shut down Roxham Road is seen by the political left
00:01:07.540 as dangerous Trump-style immigration policies and it must be resisted. Now incompetence in Canada
00:01:13.260 comes in all shapes and sizes as we're all well aware but this level of incompetence is truly hard
00:01:18.980 to believe. Stick around for the ratio of the weak prize, drop a like in the video, help us out by
00:01:22.680 subscribing to the TrueNorth YouTube channel and the comment question for the episode is this. Is it
00:01:27.720 time to build a wall at Roxham Road? Let me know in the comments and let's get into it. Last week the
00:01:33.060 New York Post dropped an exclusive report detailing exactly what hypocrite mayor Eric Adams has been up 0.97
00:01:39.100 to with all of his migrants recently. Take a look at this. Migrants abandoned New York City for Canada 1.00
00:01:44.740 with taxpayer-funded bus tickets. National Guard soldiers have been helping distribute tickets at the
00:01:51.740 Port Authority bus terminal in Manhattan to migrants who want to head upstate before crossing
00:01:57.200 into Canada, several migrants said. Migrants routinely tear up their American immigration documents 0.76
00:02:03.000 while traveling from Plattsburgh to the Canadian border with the post seeing scraps of paper with
00:02:08.620 references to the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement on the floor of
00:02:14.140 a shuttle van. As of Wednesday an estimated 43,900 plus migrants had flooded into the city since the
00:02:22.600 spring with more than 28,400 living in 83 hotels and five humanitarian emergency response and relief
00:02:29.940 centers. So as New York City proclaims to the world that they are a sanctuary city where illegals can find 0.56
00:02:35.340 safe haven in the Great Big Apple, what they've really been doing is exactly what they've been
00:02:40.160 criticizing Florida and Texas of doing for the past year using taxpayer dollars to ship migrants out
00:02:46.300 of their city, out of their state, and out of their hands. So it's no longer their problem. And take a look
00:02:51.280 at how Mayor Eric Adams on Monday responded to the story when asked by local journalists whether or not
00:02:57.240 this was true. True that some of the migrants are asking to go to Canada and we're getting them a bus ticket? 1.00
00:03:03.520 Are an amazing partnership with Catholic Charities who they just has they have a history of being
00:03:11.060 there for those in need. Those who are seeking to go somewhere else not we're pushing or forcing. If
00:03:17.760 they're seeking to go somewhere else we are helping in the reticketing process of what we found that
00:03:23.840 people had other destinations but they were being compelled only to come to New York City and we are
00:03:29.440 assisting and interviewing those who seek to go somewhere else some want to go to Canada some
00:03:34.320 wants to go to warmer states and we are there for them as they continue to move on with their pursuit
00:03:40.640 of this dream. So in order not to sound totally and outrageously hypocritical the New York City mayor 0.64
00:03:46.000 has come up with a new word a new term to describe what they're really doing which is exactly what Texas
00:03:51.600 and Florida have been doing for the past year. It's not bussing migrants up to New York City anymore it's not
00:03:57.680 bussing migrants up to Canada it's re-ticketing we're helping in the re-ticketing process of these 0.67
00:04:04.320 illegals to help them get to Canada. Like any politician caught in a blatant act of hypocrisy 0.99
00:04:10.160 New York City Mayor Eric Adams the very next day walked it all back. Those critics who say we are aided
00:04:16.560 and abetting I don't know where they're getting that from are we not telling anyone to go to any country
00:04:23.040 or state there's no coordinated effort we don't have a website we don't have a recruitment campaign
00:04:28.240 we're not telling people uh go to another country. You just gotta love it right Eric Adams saying
00:04:33.280 there's no coercion we're not telling anyone to go to Canada we're just giving them bus tickets to
00:04:38.640 Plattsburgh New York right on the border now look I'm not trying to dunk on Plattsburgh New York
00:04:43.920 I'm sure it's a lovely city but something tells me that the tens of thousands of South American migrants
00:04:50.080 aren't exactly building their American dream on making it in Plattsburgh. So this whole story
00:04:55.360 actually begins about a year ago when Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis
00:05:01.120 began sending illegal migrants who had entered the United States illegally and were then parked
00:05:05.120 in Florida and Texas on buses up to sanctuary cities in the north. After all by declaring New York
00:05:11.920 City a sanctuary city what better welcome sign could they possibly have to a bunch of illegal migrants? 0.53
00:05:18.400 But you see that's not exactly how it works because the second that Greg Abbott began sending
00:05:22.880 migrants to New York City Eric Adams who by the way was there to welcome migrants at the city bus
00:05:29.760 terminal with open arms also blasted the move as quote unimaginable described it as horrific.
00:05:36.240 It's unimaginable that what uh the governor of Texas has done when you think about this country
00:05:43.280 a country a country that has always been open to those who were fleeing persecution and other
00:05:52.560 intolerable conditions. So apparently to Eric Adams bussing migrants from Texas to New York City 1.00
00:05:59.280 is horrific and unimaginable. It's the worst thing you could possibly do. It even brought Eric Adams to
00:06:04.880 campaign against Greg Abbott in Texas. But all of that aside Eric Adams was just so excited to have a
00:06:10.160 bunch of illegal migrants flooding into New York City. Look at how he greeted them face to face
00:06:15.920 at the bus terminal when they arrived. We want to show you video of Mayor Adams greeting that crowd
00:06:21.360 in person and he says this is the New York City he wanted the asylum seekers to experience. A place
00:06:27.920 that is supportive and compassionate unlike the starting point of their journey. Well something must have
00:06:34.080 happened with all these illegal migrants in New York City because two months after Eric Adams was there to 1.00
00:06:39.120 greet these migrants with open arms. Well Eric Adams declared a state of emergency. Tonight the mayor of
00:06:45.280 the largest city in the country saying the migrant crisis is pushing the city to the brink declaring a
00:06:50.960 state of emergency. Our right to shelter laws our social services and our values are being exploited
00:06:58.720 by others for political gain. And two months after Eric Adams declared a state of emergency
00:07:04.240 look at what Eric is up to. But there's also no way to sugarcoat this. Roxham Road, the illegal
00:07:18.880 port of entry into Canada that Eric Adams is now sending tens of thousands of migrants to cross into
00:07:24.480 is a huge problem for this government, a huge problem for this country. Take a look at what Brian
00:07:29.040 Lilly wrote in the Toronto Sun last month. A total of 4,689 people entered Canada illegally at Roxham
00:07:36.800 Road in Quebec in December which has more than arrived at the irregular border crossing in all of 2021.
00:07:43.440 The tally of people crossing into the country illegally and then claiming asylum was 39,171 last year.
00:07:52.080 That's more than double the 18,836 who entered the country at Roxham Road in 2017, the previous record.
00:08:00.880 Also last month the Globe and Mail reported that the federal government had spent 93 million dollars
00:08:06.080 to house migrants in hotel rooms, most of which are in Montreal. So illegal migrants who are being bussed
00:08:12.960 by New York state taxpayers are now being flooded into this country and are now being held up in hotel
00:08:19.200 rooms paid for by all of us. There's a telltale sign in Ottawa when things have gone really bad for
00:08:24.080 you if you're a liberal government. That's when the Globe and Mail editorial board starts coming
00:08:28.400 out and shredding your government for failing on the border. Take a look at this. Ever since Ottawa
00:08:32.720 lifted that restriction last November, the problem at Roxham Road has returned with a vengeance.
00:08:37.840 In 2022, the total number of people intercepted by the RCMP on Roxham Road was,
00:08:43.360 drumroll please, 39,171. That is more than double any previous year and it's a startling number.
00:08:52.000 The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, which by law has to give an oral hearing to anyone making
00:08:56.880 a plausible refugee claim in Canada, saw its backlog of cases jump from 56,322 in January to almost 71,000
00:09:06.640 by December. So now is it a crisis? Maybe not quite yet, but Ottawa is playing with fire on
00:09:13.040 Roxham Road. Now it's important to outline what the feds are saying about this problem because
00:09:17.760 let's be honest, this is a giant, giant problem for this country and it's only going to get worse.
00:09:22.240 The feds are saying that what they're trying to do with the United States is to renegotiate
00:09:26.560 the save third country agreement. The reason why the feds are trying to renegotiate the save third
00:09:31.120 country agreement is because that only applies to legal ports of entry. If you cross at an illegal
00:09:37.920 port of entry, well you can't be sent back. So illegals from all over the world can cross the
00:09:42.960 poorest southern border in the United States, get on a free bus ticket in Texas to New York City,
00:09:48.480 spend a couple days in Manhattan, enjoy the Big Apple, then hop on a free bus ticket up to Plattsburgh,
00:09:54.000 New York, then get on a taxi or a shuttle bus service from Plattsburgh to Roxham Road, hop off,
00:10:00.800 cross the border, get arrested by the RCMP, claim refugee status and then get put up in a beautiful 0.91
00:10:08.400 cushy taxpayer funded hotel room in Montreal. And there you go, just like that you have entered
00:10:13.520 Canada. So Justin Trudeau and the federal government are trying to I guess convince Canadians that they're
00:10:18.160 not so happy with a bunch of illegal migrants flooding the country but they're not actually doing 1.00
00:10:22.640 anything to stop it. Hilariously, when Roxham Road was shut, crossings at Roxham Road plummeted to
00:10:29.280 near zero. Then when the federal government opened up the illegal port of entry, crossings reached
00:10:35.520 record highs. So maybe, just maybe, now I'm not an immigration expert, I didn't go to school to study
00:10:40.240 immigration, but maybe if you shut the illegal port of entry with signs everywhere that says this is
00:10:46.480 illegal, you are breaking the law, maybe if you shut that illegal entry into Canada might stop. After all,
00:10:53.120 on World Refugee Day in 2022, Justin Trudeau released this statement,
00:10:57.760 we honor their courage and bravery and here in Canada we reaffirm our commitment to keeping our
00:11:02.640 borders and hearts open to those fleeing violence and persecution. Canada has a proud and long-standing
00:11:10.080 tradition of welcoming people seeking safety no matter who they are or where they come from. And of
00:11:15.600 course, everyone remembers the infamous tweet by Justin Trudeau in 2017 in response to
00:11:21.120 mean nasty Donald Trump when he wrote this, to those fleeing persecution, terror and war,
00:11:27.920 Canadians will welcome you regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength.
00:11:32.720 Hashtag welcome to Canada. Well sure enough, after that tweet, who could have guessed,
00:11:38.560 crossings at Roxham Road spiked. In the Quebec legislature, the Parti Quebecois, the PQMNAs,
00:11:45.600 these are the provincial parliamentarians there, they are now demanding that the federal government
00:11:49.760 shut down Roxham Road. After all, it is an illegal port of entry. After all, you're not allowed to
00:11:54.800 cross there. So why the heck are we allowing people to enter the country from that point?
00:11:59.440 PQ politicians are calling on the government to shut down Roxham Road, and if the feds don't do it,
00:12:04.960 they are calling on the provincial police to do it for them. They are now saying that any call
00:12:09.600 to shut down Roxham Road is echoing Trump style politics. It's building the wall like Trump did.
00:12:16.320 Look at this quote. I find it quite difficult to accept that a political party wants to close
00:12:21.280 Roxham Road. You do? It's an illegal port of entry. What are they going to do? Send the surete
00:12:27.280 to Quebec to arrest the people? Put them back on the bus that brought them here and send them where?
00:12:32.560 Come on. Uh, yes, actually. Send them back to New York City where they came from. Put them on a 0.91
00:12:38.080 taxpayer-funded bus back to the Big Apple. Say, enjoy the Statue of Liberty. Enjoy all the people.
00:12:43.520 Enjoy all the culture. You won't find it in rural Quebec. I can assure you that. For all intents and
00:12:49.120 purposes, when the Parti Quebecois says that we have to stop immigrants from coming through,
00:12:53.680 that's building a wall, like Trump said, with security guards. And also,
00:12:58.080 Pierre Polyev called for the closing of Roxham Road earlier this week as well.
00:13:02.080 Should renegotiate the third country agreement in order to close Roxham Road. I understand why 0.99
00:13:11.600 desperate people are trying to cross there. Our system is now so slow and so broken
00:13:17.040 that there are 2.1 million people waiting, including over a million that have been waiting beyond
00:13:24.880 the government's own determined time frames. That is the fault of Justin Trudeau. And if we could
00:13:31.600 fix that problem, then people wouldn't be so desperate to cross at a point that is not a legal
00:13:38.240 point of entry. So it is not legal, if I could, it is not legal to cross there. That is a reality. It is
00:13:45.120 not legal to cross at that point. And we need to fix the system so that people come here through the 1.00
00:13:51.520 normal points of entry. And that is a two-step process. Renegotiate the deal with the Americans 0.98
00:13:58.400 and speed up the processing of immigration generally. But all we're getting from the
00:14:03.840 federal government, as could have been expected, is basically nothing. After all, when your prime
00:14:08.400 minister says just a year ago that your borders are open to anyone, there's not really much you can do
00:14:14.400 about illegal migrants flooding your country, is there? Ratio of the weak time. The award this week is
00:14:18.800 going to the woke lunatics over at the National Arts Center. Just a couple weeks ago, the National 0.84
00:14:23.520 Arts Center tried and failed to host a black-only event, saying that the audience should be limited
00:14:28.880 exclusively to black-identifying audience members. Well, to make up for their racially-segregated 0.99
00:14:34.560 black-only event that failed, the National Arts Center did what every other woke lunatic company does 0.95
00:14:39.360 these days, hosting a child drag show. Join us this Wednesday at 11am for Drag Storytime with Cyril
00:14:47.440 Cinder and China Doll Ottawa and music by Monkey Rock Music. Well, for that tweet, they got 140 replies
00:14:56.320 to only 56 likes. Not an absurd ratio, but given the two weeks that they've just had, certainly deserving
00:15:01.840 of some mockery. Here are some comments. An abomination. Drag is sexualized adult entertainment. 0.99
00:15:08.080 It is a mockery of women and stereotypes associated with women. It belongs nowhere near children. 0.81
00:15:14.320 Can someone explain why suddenly hundreds of drag queens and parents think that this is a good idea? 0.99
00:15:20.160 Unreal. That's going to do it for us this week on the show. Thank you so much for tuning in.
00:15:23.520 My name is Harrison Faulkner. I'll catch you on Monday, and this is Ratioed.
