Over the last two years, America's immigration debate has largely revolved around the country's southern border - but one tiny road leading from the US to Canada has become a small-scale immigration controversy of its own.
Migrants from around the world have been coming to a rural village in upstate New York for a chance to cross the border into Canada and seek asylum.
Like the Central American caravans that have sparked a roiling debate over immigration in the US, these migrants heading to Canada also seek safety, peace, and better lives.
The difference is that once they enter the US, they don't want to stay. They are fleeing the US for Canada.
