Plattsburgh Area: Janet Mcfetridge and Asylum Claims

plattsburgh area: It's just unusual because you don't usually see cabs out here, so it's very noticeable she said, according to Metro News. Most of the taxis were heading to Roxham Road, a popular illegal crossing spot where people hop a small ditch into Canada in order to file asylum claims from within the country. Janet McFetridge, a resident of Champlain, N.Y., said she started seeing taxis passing by her house in November, around the time Donald Trump was elected president of the United States. McFetridge said she and others in the area wanted to know how they could help. The greater Plattsburgh area is looking for some system where people will be able to house them and get them on their way safely. At first we were concerned about winter clothes, but then we're also concerned now about the larger picture of if they're sent back from Canada, are they going to be able to go somewhere she said in an interview.
