"Time to look into moving to Canada"
Um. Heard that after Bush II invaded a country and again after he invaded another country. Then it was if Bush gets elected again and then it was if that magic underpants dude got elected. Then Obama got in and it stopped. But then it was if the comb-over gets nominated and then if he gets elected and it just keeps going. Not sure what the person today had chosen as her next line in the sand because I just don't give a fuck.
Lots of people have been fleeing across the border and we are having a bit of hard time housing them. There are a lot of people in the U.S. really leaving with little more than the clothes on their backs. Some who crossed the border in the winter lost body parts to frostbite.
It's tiring listening to your talk about moving to Canada while some people are frightened enough to risk everything to leave. We have problems of our own to deal with without listening to your "look at me!".
Lately I have heard and read things about what to do about "the illegal immigrants" There is nothing illegal about them. They are people who entered Canada asking for refugee status under internationally recognized accords. "But they didn't cross at the proper crossing!" That isn't illegal. If you cross at a point other than a regular crossing you must contact customs and immigration at the first possible opportunity. These people have done that.
My bitching is petty but please privileged Americans, stop with the moving to Canada stuff. That shit's just old.
(Oh and a while back my city was struggling to house an influx of Mexicans because some dirt bags in Texas calling themselves immigration consultants took money from people and sent them here under a nonexistent instant citizenship program. I hope those particular consultants die of boils.)
