I'm Canadian. My mothers side of the family came from Bermuda to Canada in 1951. They had two small children with them and only $200 dollars on them. They came to Canada and had to bring their x-ray plates with them. They spoke English and became Canadian citizens the first chance they got. My grandfather said to me that you owe your allegiance to the country that offers you a pay cheque. They never got any assistance from the Federal or Provincial Government, my grandfather took two jobs and my grandmother worked one job and took care of two children. They adopted Canadian customs, celebrated Canadian traditions and holidays and left Bermuda behind.
There is no excuse for immigrants to enter a country illegally.

Not sure about Canada, but here in the U.S., it is getting bad, my tax dollars are paying for them to live on welfare. I cannot afford good medical care because of insurance and all that, yet you go to the emergency room, loaded with illegal immigrants, getting free care on my tax dollars, and and and... after living for free, will be angry at the U.S. for not giving them more... If they come over illegally, but are hard working and I am not supporting them... I am ok.. but that is not the case

yeah but these days they either have to be getting married or show they have a large bank account or own a buisness to get in....its not a simple matter if they just want to come in and work, fill out the paperwork and start....i believe it is a problem, i believe also if you were one of those people you would be trying to do what you have to do to improve your families life also....

You are not an immigrant. You are a descendant of one that worked hard and did things legally.
