So should we accept more refugees due to world crisis?

[Goober]

Shocker!



No doubt it's not a one solution problem. Most things aren't, as the saying goes "Give a man a fish and he'll eat tonight, teach a man to fish and he'll eat every night." (Or words to that effect.)

But you don't let the guy starve until he catches that first fish. You need a balanced approach. And when things hit a crisis level, as they do, you need to be prepared to stretch a little on both approaches.

Aid dollars - spent in Canada or in the area. More refugees, and such are helped this way than redirecting the funds to Canada.
Another issue on aid dollars are the customs taxes paid upon entry into the affected country. No shxt. It is disgusting.
There are the bribes, regular and routine procedure that aid agencies deal with to get critical aid out of the port, or even unloaded, to then leaving customs after the duties have been paid.

I cannot speak for Canadians as I am a US citizen. But concerning this issue, I always remember the poem by Emma Lazarus."The New Colossus". Weren't all of our ancestors immigrants at one time or another? Even native Americans came from another place long ago.

 

[Spade]

Even the Europeans, Middle, Central, and Far Easterners came from another place long ago.

This country was completely built on immigrants and refugees. Or are you saying your mother is that much of a wh ore that we all came from her?

?

Nonsense, go back to grade school and learn your history lessons again.

This country was built by Europeans, who were mostly(if not all) white and Christian.
That's why our laws are based on Christian ideology, and that's why we have Christmas and Easter as holidays.

Other non Europeans did not start coming here until after WW11 when all the infrastructure was already in place.

They could not handle it here otherwise.
Btw, the white guys are still doing most of the heavy lifting here, you only have to look at who mostly belongs in our military to see that.

Again with your crap.
Many come from Countries where the Military has a long and bloody record for corruption, murdering innocents and being the arm for repressing the population thru mass slaughter.
It is not thought of in the same way others do.
But you will use anything to forward your bigoted agenda.

Wow. You've convinced yourself slavery did not exist.

Well done!

Musta been tough for all those Irish and Germans to build the transcontinental railway with nary a black or Chinese to help.

You get your history from the Rush Limbaugh books, don't you?

 

[darkbeaver]

If you measure the international aid given to the various needy countries against the horror and destruction of war given to these same needy countries you will quickly see what bu **** international aid has actually been.
If we stopped the wars we would stop the refugee problem. Opening the gates is not a solution. There is already North American refugees in need and soon there will be many millions more to contend.

Having a little trouble accepting facts as they are, are you?

I don't give a sht where you come from, but leave your useless baggage behind and when you get here your expected to carry your fair share of the weight, if you can't, then you better leave. Don't come here and expect to live of the hard work and risk others take only so you can live here at the expense of others!!

Suck it up losers!!

If you don't give a sh*t where people come from, why are you lying about immigration into the U.S.?

EDITED TO ADD: I apologise for saying you are lying. I overlooked the possibility that you could actually be that ignorant.
