Western Europeans, Canadians, Australians, New Zelanders?

Question

What do you guys think about the immgrants you guys are receving from the third world? I know you are being swamped like we here in the US are being invaded by the hispanics and the asians.

Answer 1

The native Americans had no laws regarding immigration.
As for European immigrants, if they came here legally, then they are welcome. If they came here illegally, or overstayed their visit, and are here now illegally, they should also be arrested and deported.

Answer 2

What did the natives in North America think when all the white immigrants swamped them?

Everyone got off a boat at one time or another.

Answer 3

i am from ireland and YES we are being swamped with polish, latvians and lithuanians.....it used to bug me but them i thought back to when the famine was in Ireland and the Irish emigrated to England, Australia and mostly America, if it was'nt for emigration the Irish could be wiped out so i don't mind anymore......every country goes through being emigrated to and being a country where people are emigrated to so i think they deserve a chance.......we we're in there places not so log ago

Answer 4

I'm in Canada. No, we are not being swamped with immigrants in the same way that the US is. We do have a lot of immigrants, but we also do not have the number of illegal immigrants that you in the US have. In fact, Canada is trying to get more immigrants, but we want the ones with trades and professional skills. We have lots of labourers and nonskilled citizens, already. We want tradespeople, tech people, scientists, doctors, nurses, that sort of thing. Anyone with any of those skills would be put on a fast-track to come here, upon application with CIS.

I feel very bad for the USA due to the flood of illegal immigrants they are having to deal with. (Note, I am a USA born citizen who immigrated to Canada many years ago and now also have Canadian citizenship, so I have dual citizenship, so I also love the USA very much and am always keeping up with the USA news and current events.)

The USA is having this problem, in large part due to their physical position in the world, being that they share a border with Mexico and also by proximity the Central American countries, as well, so it is natural that the USA will have far more illegal Hispanic, as well as legal Hispanic, immigrants than Canada does. Canada only shares a border with the USA and because we have a similar economy to that of the USA, Canadians do not feel the need to immigrate to the USA illegally or legally, for the most part. Some people do, just for individual preferences or work/education/family reasons, of course. Same thing, in that Americans don't generally feel the desire or need to immigrate to Canada because our society and economy are so similar.

Granted, we do also have illegal immigrants but ours are more usually "visa overstayers" in that they originally came legally to visit family and then never returned home again when their visas expired. Mostly, though, these types of illegal immigrants are more well-to-do and so they don't generally suck from our social services the way your illegal immigrants do. They often are living with family members who immigrated legally and are fairly well-to-do and so who take on the full support of their illegal family immigrants, thereby staying under the radar of government and discovery and deportation. As well, our social services are much more difficult to access for legal citizens, let alone for illegal immigrants, and there is not the great amount of fraudulent activity here by illegal immigrants such as fake ID, etc. and illegal immigrants have much more difficulty getting jobs here than they seem to have in the US.

We do also get the occasional leaky boatload of illegal immigrants from Asia - we seemed to have quite a lot of these a few years back, but it hasn't been a problem reported in the news much lately. We get the odd bunch of stowaways in containers on ships, too, also usually from Asia. As far as I know, they are detained, processed, and deported with very few exceptions. Our government seems more prone to go after the "snakeheads" (human smugglers) who profit from smuggling these people and prosecute them to the fullest extent.

So, my point is that no, we don't get the illegal foot traffick of immigrants over our border that the USA does, fortunately for us. We do get the occasional hispanic illegal immigrant who, knowing they are about to be deported from the USA, slip on up over our border into Canada to avoid deportation. Once here, the bulk of them find that employment is almost impossible to find and social services also almost impossible to qualify for unless they apply for refugee status (many of them do this, knowing full well that they won't qualify, but just as a means of stalling deportation for a year or more and during which time they can collect a small amount of welfare, about $350 per month) as an illegal and so they usually go into the drug trafficking trade - mostly selling crack cocaine in the big cities, which they actually do quite well at, financially, often making $500 per day or more. Until they get caught, which they usually do before too long. Then, by their second conviction, they are put in jail for a period of a few months and then deported. They enjoy that tax-payer paid plane trip home, enjoy a heroe's welcome at home, live like kings for a few months in their countries (like on vacation from work), visit family and friends, then they head back to the USA to do it all over again. This time, though, because they have socked away so much money that they sent home while in the USA and Canada, they are able to pay top prices to coyotes, so the trip back is much easier. While home, they spread the word to their neighbours, friends, and family to let them know how it is done and of course many more come each year.

Not a pretty picture, I know.
