What pisses me off about border security...

[Starks]

Why don't people give a damn about all the Canadians sneaking into the country and stealing our jobs? What about the Americans that try to escape into Canada or Mexico?

IT'S NOT A ONE WAY ISSUE FOLKS! THE MEXICANS AREN'T THE ONLY PROBLEM!

 

[Mr. White]

On the instinctive level it's probably shared culture and race.

On a more intellectual level, Canada's government isn't exporting it's poor so they don't have to deal with an uprising against their crappy government.

Mexico City has like 1/3 of the entire population of Canada.

One city is larger then 30% of Canada. Come on dude... be realistic.

Canadians sneaking into the country?

The ones who move to America are educated, and bring wealth to the country, in most cases. America is benefiting from Canadian doctors, businessmen, and others to move to the US, and it hurts Canada. And the Mexican situation is different, their not the same, their migration to the US is hurting America. But like Dr. Paul says, in a free and open society, immigrants wouldn't be the scapegoats.

I never have heard of a illegal alien from Canada. Seems they take the time to go through the paperwork, learn the language (if there french) and actually contribute.

hahaha. I hope he is kidding.

THis year saw the HIGHEST flow of Americans MOVING to Canada... Canada is of minimal problem.. there are a lot of things that are not of concern.

1. Canadas are not here in absolutely astronomical numbers overbearing our schools, hospitals etc.. bring to crumble who socials sytems of states.

2. Canadians already speak english, thus assimiliation is assured.
3. NO balkanization (see above)
4. IF canadians are taking jobs, they are taking 'few' higher wage jobs, mexicans are taking HUGE swaths of lower paying jobs.
a. The illegal immigration from the south are usually - low income, low education which translates into more crime.
- we are not getting the brightest, if you know what I mean.

Also, it is estimated that we get...

3.5+ MILLION ILLEGALS FROM MEXICO PER YEAR
120K FROM CANADA EACH YEAR.

YOU DO THE MATH!

So, do we patrol and secure the north which gives us Higher educated individuals who speak english and represent about ".005" OF THE TOTAL of illegals who enter the country each year....

or... do we patrol and secure....

The south, which gives us over 70% of the illegals, Mostly uneducated and prone to crime.

THe statistics are all there... uhmmm..

Actually, I AM FURIOUS THAT TALK IS EVEN FOCUSING ON THE NORTH... PUT IT ALL SOUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SECURE OUR SOUTHERN BORDERS!!

These are the stats I found: Illegal immigration - country of origin.
1. Mexico 2,700,000 (conservative, in my estimation)
2. El Salvador 335,000
3. Guatemala 165,000
4. Canada 120,000
5. Haiti 105,000
6. Philippines 95,000
7. Honduras 90,000
8. Dominican Republic 2 75,000
9. Nicaragua 70,000

It pisses me off when people say we should guard a border 3,145 miles to a country of 33 million people when there's a country of over 100 million at our 1,952 mile souther border.

It's called priorities.

You base this on what?

The argument for the border fence was about the war on terror. So if the northern border is ignored then what is the point of putting a fence on the southern border? Any terrorist would just come from the north rather than the south.

 

[DjLoTi]

It ought to be about national sovereignty, unless you think we can immediately put up fences and patrol all 5,100 miles of our border.

There was a canadian illegal immigrant character in a Law and Order episode once, does that count?

Sort of like they have to have all the "terrists" in movies be European.
