You say it's not racist, but...
 

It's been over two weeks since the demonstrations against the proposed new immigrations law, and more than a month since this topic has gotten hot again.

We've had people talking about fences, 'English language' rules and even shooting people coming here to work.

...but nobody seems upset about the Canadian border.

It's more porous by far than the Mexican border, according to some, and many thousands -- maybe tens of thousands cross illegally. Lots of firearms and drug trafficking takes place there. Plus, there are lots of stories of Canadians coming here for our hospital services.

Where is the outrage?

you are such a hoser

Canadian pot is supposedly much better than the crap coming out of Mexico. If we are importing, let it be quality.

May I quote a comedian?
"they are polite, they look like us, and they speak our language".

Next time a bunch of Canadians shoot up the freeway near my house, let me know. Then I'll get all riled up.

Re: You say it's not racist, but...
 

No se.

thousands < millions, they go back more often, and contribute more when they stay. Let's fix the huge hole, then worry about the tiny ones next.

They must blend in extremely well or be invisible to the census, because I have never read about a population increase of 1 single person due to illegal immigration from Canada.

Across the Mexican border it is 750k a month, plus a large percentage of those set up permanent camp here and quickly become pregnant. Are you serious, or just suffering from some form of cognizant disconnect or delusion from siding w/ La Raza on this issue?

anyone else hungry for moose tacos?

Actually, if I'm not mistaken, it's as much of a problem coming the other way, which is to say it's not really a problem in either direction. Mexicans enter the US illegally to get jobs paid in a currency much stronger than their own. There's not the same disparity between US and CDN currency (and the gap is closing day by day), and there's not the shortage of jobs here that you find in Mexico. Those that leave Canada for the US for vocational reasons are doing so for higher pay. These are (mostly) doctors and other professionals, not fruit pickers.

And yes, Canadians go south for health care, but they pay for it. It's not like they're taking advantage of the US health system. If anything, they're benefitting it.

Comparing the Mexican invasion with Canadians?....Ridiculous....Diversionary smoke screen.

You deal with the Mexican (primary) problem effectively, you end up controlling the secondary immigration problems.

Firearms? Please. Drugs? A little weed. The comparison is plain silly. Healthcare? Their healthcare system pays good money or they pay out of pocket.

In fact with comprehensive reform - we might allow more talented, educated and English speaking people from Canada to immigrate legally.

ok, how about a caribou burrito?

And that's an example of good old American accomplishment, (if a little misdirected), not an easy title to win. :cool:

The southern border is where the dam is broken. When a dam is broken, you don't worry about the other dams that are not broken, before you fix the one that is.

Bob and Doug McKenzie have done more damage to this country than all the mexicans combined. It isn't the quantity, it's the depth of the damage.

Let's do a fence on the north too! And enslave the canadians to build it! Semper Fudge!

Yeah, yoor such a Knob, Eh!?

The best reason to put up a wall with Canada? Two words: Celine Dion

There's a South Park episode showing a sign at the Canadian Border: "Welcome to Canada. Now Celine Dion Free."

Mul, you want a conspiracy theory to burn a few brain cycles on: The influx of Canadians on Hollywood. Are the Canadians responsible for the liberalization of Entertainment causing the erosion of US moral values? Enjoy.

I am from Minnesota, and we own vacation property WAY up north, (Lake Superior), and I have never seen a bunch of Canadians in ear-flap hats standing outside of a Home Depot up there flagging cars for work. Like I said, they must blend in awfully well.

And how do you feel about this problem, Tech? (It is a huge reason why I want immigration law enforced, but not the only reason). Of course it's from a racist, right-wing source:

consider how much production is being done in BC now.

X-Files was shot there. Think about it.

Is that a challenge?

I got my work cut out for me... where's the mountain dew?

When is the deadline, Sunday at midnight?

Any of you that live in a state bordering Canada know how serious this has gotten. Just try to find parking in any lot of any mall in any town anywhere close to the border (like Bellingham for example) on a weekend. It simply cannot be done. The Canadians are there. Spending millions and loading up on contraband groceries, clothing, lawn furniture, and the like. And if that isn't enough, they might even stop by the dentist to get their kid's braces adjusted and, horror of horros, actually pay the guy.

Yup tech, you are right once again. Twice in one week; I'm detecting a trend. We must first stop this overwhelming threat from the North, before we can address the relatively benign one from the South. Not a moment to lose; American citizens may, after all, take note of this unnacceptable situation. A relatively open border, shared with polite, law-abiding neighbors in a lawful, mutually advantageous relationship, stands as a horrible contrast to our Southern border. This cannot be allowed to continue.

Unless you have an agenda keeping the first dam broken, that is....then the best thing (for your agenda) you can do is focus on the unbroken dams.

what about our western border? I've lost count of the people I've seen coming out of the ocean here. They must be poor illegals...hell, they barely have any clothes on their backs!

A Møøse once bit my sister ...

No realli! She was Karving her initials on the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink".

We apologise for the fault in the
subtitles. Those responsible have been
sacked.

Mynd you, møøse bites Kan be pretty nasti...

We apologise again for the fault in the subtitles. Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked have been sacked.

Canada should build the wall. I used to live in Windsor (aka South Detroit) and there would be lineups at the walk-in clinics of Americans looking for free healthcare. You could easily buy under-the-table Ontario health cards to get free medical care.

Personally, I prefer the U.S. as Canada caters to the lazy and/or unemployed. The less you do, the more you get. There is a lack of drive in our society to work harder given the tax situation and the way the unemployed/underemployed are treated. Said like a true Porsche driver.....

Not to mention the evolutionary fish coming onto shore unchecked, slowly working their way up the ladder and taking over. Before you know it they will want legal citzenship..SOMETHING MUST BE DONE!...I know!...Lets drill off the coast of California, that will kill them off before they get a chance to sprout feet!




are they distracted?....shhh...sneak in the Mexicans and Arabs.....

got any pics? :p

So now we have to learn Spanish and Canadian French ? Well, at least they're both Romantic languages. :D

BLAM!

Fuch!! now I gotta learn French too?

I have to confess that I did not actually read the article. I just stumbled onto it when I was searching for something unrelated. I assumed that it dealt w/ the carnage to the eco-systems of the dessert in the U.S. southwest due to illegal crossings + border patrol activity chasing them. I am 100% in favor of a fence that works, it is a no-brainer unless you are in favor of the status quo.

IMHO a fence is just throwing money at the problem, we will spend billions building it and they will find a way over, under, or around it and nothing will change.

I've seen the numbers, IIRC the percentage of the US prison population that is Mexican approaches 35%; whereas the Canadian that's in prison here is getting very lonely.

bunch o' loosers here!

Techweenie, stop playing around w/ user names. Puta. :cool:
