Asylum seekers, Roxham Road
Asylum seekers walk along Roxham Road near Champlain, New York on August 6, 2017, making their way towards the Canada/US border.
  • New York authorities are paying for migrants to take a bus north.
  • Once in the north of the state, migrants cross into Canada to claim asylum. 
  • Republicans have sent busloads of migrants to New York to score political points. 

An immigration official in Quebec has said it is "surprising" that New York authorities are sending migrants to Canada's border.
