Canada is a huge land area nation with a light population and has a very open door policy toward immigrants from overseas.
The US as you read daily in the media is incurring too much social overhead which illegal immigration has heavily contributed to, especially in radical increases of the cost to us as taxpayers for Medicare.
Obama has proposed to both cut our senior coverate in Medicare (I am almost 72) to try to spread the money around to basically a combination of illegal immigrants...in Medicaid use costs...and to pay for health insurance millions of existing young US citizens choose not to spend their money for, instead using our emergency rooms at our hospitals...running up the deficit in Medicaid.
Illegal immigrants can't legally vote.
Lazy younger Americans who can afford but deliberately do not now pay for their own health insurance can vote and are coddled by Obama, who could well loose his re-election bid.
President Bush favored a structured earn and pay costs of and for naturalization process, which I liked. But many voters, Democratic and Republican did not and do not like the Bush Immigrant Plan, which Senator McCains still favors as a active US Senator in Washington from the immigration troubled state of Arizona.
You need to know that legitimate Hispanics in our voting population do not, repeat not, favor easy immigration outcomes for illegal immigrants. These Hispanics in Florida were the edge that elected Rubio to the US Senate.
The US remains a free enterprise republic not a semi-socialized high tax and spend nation as is typical in Europe. You can tell us all what the tax and spend status is in Canada...I know you have nationalized health care and my cousins who are Canadian tell me the do not like waiting lists and limited coverages.
you're 72? I have a very few close friends who are older than you, one is 89 and the other 82.
I understand that a lot of non whites see the immigration issue as a race issue...this couldn't be further from the truth. an ILLEGAL is exactly what it is. clear like night and day... you break the law then you shouldn't be getting any kind of special treatments regardless of how dire your situastion is.
the vast majority of working class/ middle class whites are now pushing back. US politics will only get more difficult, there are 300 millions people.. it is hard enough to get 10 people in a room to agree in 1 things let alone millions of different groups to come together.
'legitimate Hispanics in our voting population do not, repeat not, favor easy immigration outcomes for illegal immigrants" I will have to totally disagree with you on this one. the vast majority of Hispanics want amnesty for illegals. all of the most powerful Hispanic elected leaders are pushing for immigrant reform that would have an "easy immigration outcomes" for illegals.
as for canada, out immgration polices while its seem llient in comparison to most countries, we don;t have millions of people flooding our borders. we do however pay much more taxes than the average American. Canadians I know overwhelmingly love our health care system. Its pretty trivial to me to hear Americans laughing at Canada health care system. No Canadian have to choose between food and health care. yes there are 'flaws" and inefficiency, but overall most people I know a happy with health care and are willing to pay the taxes for it.
btw great to see an ol' timer (no pun intended) here sharing his views...
we got too many wannabe internet thugs and internet warriors in here... have you met some of our chinese internet warriors yet?
