Recent?All recent immigrants from Austro-Hungary; including Austro-Germans, were put into internment camps. It wasn't an act of xenophobia but a concern for national security. We had the same policies during WW2 to a similiar extent.

Maybe you never knew this but those "Mexicans" are Native Americans driven off their land into Mexico. If they want to come home then by golly they are more than justified.The historic Mexican-American communities in California and Texas; long considered assimilated, were destroyed through an influx of Mexican immigrants. The same happened in British Columbia with the Chinese community. Even in Canada, I would imagine allowing 6 million Ukrainians to come overnight would have a similiar affect.
Like my great uncles who were locked up unlike my grandfather who manged to bull**** his way out of it because he spoke 4 languages?The historic Mexican-American communities in California and Texas; long considered assimilated, were destroyed through an influx of Mexican immigrants.

IIRC, the policy stated that anyone who had came from Austria from within 5-10 years before 1914 were supposed to be confined.
California, Nevada, Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, Nevada were Aztec?No they are not.
Aztec Triple Alliance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Or then, I suppose the Salish have the right to conquer Iroqouis lands.

Who didn't have a relative in Western Canada that wasn't interned?
My family doesn't need reparations. We got what we want long long ago and then again in 1982.Anyone English or French.
And who do you think it was who got stuck seperated from their tribes and homelands as the new borders were drawn? The Congolese?No,
Aztec were just Mesoamerican.
Mexican Empire is a whole different thing and the Mexican Empire elites were mainly Criollos (Spaniards) and even then, Mexican control over California and Texas were just for 2-3 decades and the inhabitants were not Mexican but First Nations' tribes (i.e. the Navajo) who had nothing to do with the Aztec Empire.
Anyone English or French.
Taxation through immigration in France and GB was a political mistake not a societal one. We don't need more heads to tax we need more labour. If the darkie boogieman is what it takes to drive the xenophobes to the good jobs then that is what it takes. The Bourgeois will never learn.Well considering what's happening to Britain and France; we don't have to worry about revenge. Western Europe continues to slide down the drain while my Eastern Europe and Finland is doing quite well.

The Darky Bogeyman is welcome if he assimilates. If not he can get the hell out.
True, this sort of speculation is not limited to the Chinese but in Vancouver it's definately common among them. A lot of them made their fortune through connections in mainland China; i.e. through the Communist Party, and by paying their employees 10 cents a hour, than they bring their millions here and dump it into our real estate market - usually never moving into the homes.
You are wrong on several counts. During the 19th century many immigrants, notably the Germans, Ukrainians, Poles, Norwegians and others were deliberately settled in what were called "Block Settlements." This is the origin of many Prairie communities with ethnic names, such as New Norway, Bruderheim, Thorsby and so on. The idea was to make it easier for new immigrants to Canada to fit in to their new country. True, it did result in a certain amount of insularity, but over time the descendants of these settlers integrated fully into Canadian society. The same is also true of immigrants who were forced into ethnic ghettos like the Chinese and Japanese. Eventually these people became as Canadian as anyone else. All that is required for full integration into Canadian society is time.
You are also wrong about immigration levels. Limiting immigration to just 100,000 people per year would actually result in a net decline in the population. This will become especially critical as the population ages, creating a shortage of workers and lowering the base of those who pay taxes. Currently Canada's natural population increase is about 3/1000. However, this number will continue to fall as the number of women of child-bearing age continues to drop. This is a trend that has already created an aging and declining population in nations like Japan, Russia, and Germany.
There is nothing new in this tread. Hostility toward immigrants has existed from the early part of the 19th century and the arguments directed toward them were identical to those in this thread. Those who opposed immigration in the 19th century on the grounds that immigrants would never fit in and would undermine Canada's culture have been proved wrong again and again. I have little reason to doubt that they will be proved wrong again.
Agreed.
The key to understanding population growth among our population is the Malthus concept combined with our means of subsistence - which amounts to 2.1 kids, an automobile and a suburb home - none of which is attainable to most people under 30 and this denial is compounded through the existence of skilled migrants competing in our housing and job markets.
No, no, I'm just plain wrong and Generation I (Generation Internet) are just a bunch of lazy brats who are paid $16 a hour and don't work hard enough to afford the typical $2,000,000 five bedroom home in Vancouver.
Give us our means of subsistence and there will be another baby boom that would pale the boomer's generation. Come on, we only have 30 million people in a country larger than Western Europe, Mr. Harper, Ignatieff and Jimmy Patterson need to start sharing some of that gold!
Controlled opposition socialist Jack Layton isn't any help either - he cares more about vote splitting the liberals and his union buddies than the Canadian people. Gerald Celente's Mickey Mouse is starting to sound good at the moment.
