Canada is known around the world for being cold and snowy, however that apparently came as a surprise to a number of illegal migrants fleeing the United States for a better life in the great white north.
After making the journey from New York City to the Quebec border via taxpayer-funded bus tickets and crossing to the other side, many have opted to turn around in search of warmer pastures.
While some were less direct about their reasons for turning back, one migrant from Colombia declared to the New York Post that Canada had “mucha nieve,” which in Spanish means, “a lot of snow.”
According to the CBC, however, while the harsh winter conditions are a major deterrent, most migrants who have elected to head back down to the United States also cite a lack of employment and housing opportunities in Canada.
In Quebec, where migrants from New York City end up via the notorious Roxham Road crossing, resources have been stretched thin.
