First of all, immigration is a privlilege, until that person becomes a citizen
then like anyone else, it becomes a right. Gerry is right, we need people
to come here especially those who have skill or people we can train to
have those skills in the future.
Most people come here and live in conclaves because they don't know
anyone else. They are unfamiliar with the customs and they have citizens
who are here by birth or came before them that don't want the here and
that is sad,.
I know many immigrants, and they eventually became people who contribute
to society and community. When they first came. they did live in a cultural
supportive setting but not now.
We have neighbours who came from Taiwan. their youngest who was little
when they came is a true Canadian, he doesn't like the attitude of people
from Asia. Ironic but true.
We can't look at immigration or immigrants as a static thing, its ever changing
and will continue to be so.
