Some will work at minimum wage jobs while others will pursue a career in medicine, engineering, plumbing, carpentry, welding, logging, mining, fishing etc. I've never thought the measure of a man lies in how he earns a living, but rather in how well he does the job, be it hauling garbage or doing brain surgery...................they are all necessary and actually far more people depend on the garbage hauler.

These people speak no English or French. Eventually, they will learn to speak English - poorly. They have no connections and no education. Why is it you people will readily admit the prospects for a Canadian who is a high school dropout are exceedingly poor yet feel that immigrants, who have even less education, plus no language skills or contacts is going to do any better? These people are not going to be brain surgeons OR garbage haulers. They'll be minimum wage collectors, at best, which means they pay no income tax, which means all their health care and other services have to be paid for by Canadians for the rest of their lives.
$3.5 billion? Who the hell made up that number? The cost in Canada is estimated at $1.2 billion over six years and Canada brought in more refugees than the Brits.
But our governments have a habit of lying to us about the costs of immigration and refugees. They'll give you some costs, but not others. For example, I doubt the cost of their ongoing health care will be figured into the above, since the provinces will have to eat that. Even a little effort at basic arithmetic, never mind math, will show you how nonsensical the Canadian figure is. 50,000 people x 15,000 per year (being HUGELY conservative) will come out to $4.5 billion over 6 years.
And who says the costs stop after six years?
$3.5 billion!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That much probably gets blown on every space mission! Isn't it a lot better to invest it in people's well being? If you were in dire straits and someone came to your aid, would you refuse it?
We don't have space missions, and if we're to invest billions in people's well-being shouldn't it be our own people's well being as opposed to foreigners?
