New York Residents Assist Illegal Immigrants Cross Border to Canada
6th August 2018
Residents of upstate New York are actively assisting migrants illegally cross the border into Canada.
As the Washington Post reports, the activists are supplying people — supposedly seeking asylum from the United States — with food, clothing and support. They even call their assistance network an “Underground Railway,” in tribute to the clandestine operation that ferried slaves from the South to abolitionist enclaves in New York and Canada.
Those facilitating the illegals’ journey to Canada, via the Quebec border, say this is no different than assisting the draft-dodgers who fled to Canada to avoid service in the Vietnam War.
“We view this as our Underground Railroad,” Carole Slatkin told the Post. Moving migrants across the border from Esssex, New York, Slatkin says she is following a higher calling. “While no one is being flogged, and no one is being sold, there is this sort of modern-day equivalent of feeling like people are in danger.”
Yeah, there’s that ‘nobody’s being flogged, nobody’s being sold’ rock in the middle of the stream of Virtue Signaling. But they can ignore it successfully; it’s what they do.
