Coming to America . Still 250 years later .
What do you mean SETTLE ;-)What's a matter, pigs? They wouldn't let it your grandpappy in so they had to settle for Canada?
The only way you are going to stop illegal immigration is to make the shit hole countries into good places to live and work.
Looks like they bought into the propaganda just like most of Central and South America. Home of the brave, land of the free my ass.
Exactly!!Much more likely they are simply trying to escape poverty and terror in their home countries. A good deal of which can be blamed on US past policies.
They went to those other places but America was first choice . Most hadn’t even heard of Canada, until Canadian officials went to those camps .The Vietnamese Boat People were willing to risk death to get out of Vietnam.
"The boat people's first destinations were the Southeast Asian countries of British Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. External tensions stemming from Vietnam's dispute with Cambodia and China in 1978 and 1979 caused an exodus of the majority of the Hoa people, of whom more than 170,000 fled overland into the province of Guangxi, China, from the North; the remainder fled by boat from the South. This new influx brought the number of refugees in China to around 200,000.[1] In addition, the Vietnamese military also began expelling ethnic Hoa from Vietnam-occupied Kampuchea, leading to over 43,000 refugees of mostly Hoa descent fleeing overland to Thailand.[2] By 1980, the refugee population in China reached 260,000,[3] In 2013, Hoa people made up 11.5 percent of the Vietnamese-American population[4]"
Lots went to Australia. Lots went to Canada. It appears it is a conceit to think that everyone wants to go to America.

Well George I have many friends in the ex pat Vietnamese community , and all to a man were trying to get into America . Laotian friends in the refugee camps waiting to get into America heard Canada was taking in refugees .they knew nothing of Canada only that it was next to the States. Both groups are happy in Canada but we were never their destination of choice .... so YOU say ...
