Why not allow free movement to Haitian refugees?

Workers are taxpayers.

That is very true but there is very little net gain if refugee's taxes are spent on welfare payments for our displaced workers! I wonder how many loop holes there are in the tax system that would reduce the taxes paid by refugees and also there's the consideration of money leaving the country to support family in the homeland.

Not only are they taxpayers, but consumers too.

And would you rather your taxes going to Haiti or a Haitian worker sending his own hard-earned money back home?

I used to live in China where they had laws making it difficult for me to take my money out of the country.

My belief is that a person should be free to do what he wants within reason with his own hard-earned money regardless of his nationality.

And if money goes to Haiti, then Haitians can build a future trading partner for Canada.

But I know free markets aren't so popular today.

What do you have against the idea of human rights?

Great.... The taxpayer pays someone to be a consumer

neither

You mean that the Chinese gvt didn't buy into your argument of Human Rights?

I'm floored

Trade what exactly?

You use that as a go-to argument far too often

Read in comprehension eh. Except for legitimate refugees, I said unless they can support themselves, we should send them home. How would that cost the taxpayer?

No, not at all.

Perhaps you should read what you posted and then get back to me, m'kay?

Ummm, we already have an immigration system in place that considers your suggestion quite thoroughly.

... Sadly, the aforementioned system doesn't recognize your fabrication of a person's Right to Work

Yeah, autocotrect doesn't correct.

Um, the good universities in North America are not public sector, they are for-profit enterprises, period. Did you know that Canadian students can barely get into medical school in Canada anymore? Do you know why? Because the majority of our universities charge more for tuition for international students than Canadians students. Given that, who would you take as students, the ones who pay more or the ones who pay less?
The irony is, the Canadian students then have to study elsewhere for their medical degree, a degree which will be worthless in Canada because it wasn't earned in Canada.

So far as I know there are no qualified students in Alberta that have problems getting into a tertiary institution and I expect that there are few problems elsewhere. And, I'm not sure how you rank universities, but most Canadian universities are highly regarded and are publicly funded.
