The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) says it’s aware of asylum-seekers from the United States reportedly being given free bus tickets to take them to a part of New York state from which they can easily travel into Canada.

“The CBSA is aware of these reports and remains in contact with the U.S. when it comes to matters of irregular migration,” the federal agency said in an email to The Epoch Times on Feb. 6.
