The unemployment rate in the US is lower than it is here. You let people stay that means you have to pay for their health care and everything else. Poor people do not pay income tax, you know. Due to our progressive tax system the top 50% of wage earners pay 96% of income taxes. So if we bring in tens of thousands of what are essentially unskilled labourers it's going to cost us a pile of cash, even if they manage to find a job at Walmart or Timmys.

Its like Trudeau's decision to allow in 10,000 senior citizen immigrants every year. They've never paid taxes or contributed to anything, but they'll be drawing heavily on our health care, pushing into already overcrowded senior care homes, and drawing pensions (though not CPP). And nobody ever talks about how much it's going to cost us.
Of course not , you are just mean to mention something as uncomfortable as that .

EagleCrack take your blinkers off and do some research. Instead of being a small minded self opinionated know it all. Both Canada and the USA are a land of immigrants, I'm sure your ancestors were fleeing Ireland or something and came here without papers until they arrived as asylum seekers..

So please phuck off and die with your anti-Immigration BS.. Canada and Canadians have big hearts and open our doors to refugees...
Never hear of Ellis Island ?

What heck is going on in Canada, voted in a horses áss and he wants to destroy our country. These people should be sent back to where they came from. Don't need any of them in Canada.

So you believe in sending illegal immigrants back to their home country if they can't work?


If you had a job to give, would you give it to one of our unemployed legal citizens, or to an illegal immigrant?


Both would have the same qualifications so do not try to run from an answer.

Of course it would go to a legal Canadian citizen.

The illegal one would be reported and I would expect him/her to be kicked out of the country. We are a country of Law and Order, we can't let this slide just to accommodate Libs and their stupid loser ideals

A good choice but polarizing this as liberals against conservatives is not the way to go.


A via media is generally a better solution that unites instead of divides the country.

Oh not that hoary old cliche! Please!

1. When people came over here a century ago they had roughly the same education and job skills as locals, and there were many, many, many jobs for unskilled labourers. In fact, MOST jobs required neither much in the way of skill nor language abilities.

2. When people came over a century ago it was sink or swim, and the rest of us didn't care which. If you couldn't make it, couldn't support yourself and your family, then you died or went home. There was no welfare, pogey, public housing, free health care nor anything else. Thus your failure was not a burden on the rest of us.

3. Neither of those is true today.

But they can. Allowing the right to work visa-free is just that and nothing more.

The Minister doesn't decide. An IRB judge decides on matters of refugee status based on a combination of international and national laws.

And he has major influence in appointing the judges. It's no coincidence that masses of Somalians have been showing up at the Manitoba border.

Your people came over here only a century ago?

Newcomers.

Have you managed to assimilate, at all, yet?

Being French, not yet, and who would want to given English Canada's politics.


"I have been stabbed in the back during the night by a bunch of carpetbaggers," Quebec Premier René Lévesque later wrote of the events of November 1981."


"The Night of Long Knives"


Modi Englais.


Just kidding carpetbaggers. LOL.

The problem is not with the number of migrants. The Problem is with the free health care.

And the free schools.
And the free housing.
And the free money.
And the free judges, lawyers, and courts to decide.
And the free years they get to wait for the system.

And just remember... all of it is free for them.

None of it is free for you.

That is a major concern among Canadians. They are saying the waiting time for Healthcare is long enough.

That's because the private sector is not allowed to fill in the void.

And the free schools.
And the free housing.
And the free money.
And the free judges, lawyers, and courts to decide.
And the free years they get to wait for the system.

And just remember... all of it is free for them.

None of it is free for you.

Then deny them social assistance. That will force them to make the tough decisions.

As for free judges and police officers, have you never traveled abroad before? That's the same the world over. Police officers and judges offer their services to all free of charge, tourists included. What are you proposing? That foreign tourists pay a legal-services insurance policy while in Canada?

WHAT!

Geez... the DELUGE just flipped you to the right!

How so? Quote me on when I ever proposed granting social assistance to the migrants. I've referenced Svalbard many times for example. The only social assistance Svalbard offers is a ticket home.
