Way to scaremonger, you cretin.
Reading the actual article, rather than your carefully curated "tuk arr yobs !" scenario, one can make out a couple of things.
1) The Canadian Immigrant Settlement Sector Alliance presented "Vision 2020" is an immigration industry organization. Of course they want 400k immigrants BUT the
government's numbers are a good 100k a year less.
2) Canada needs immigrants to fund Social Security, Medicare and other social programs as just internal demographic growth isn't enough. In 1970 we had 6.6 ppl contributing for every senior citizen. By 2020 it'll be down to TWO.
Do the math.
3) Not all are poor immigrants from 3rd world countries. Immigrants come from all walks of life and from all over the world. You don't meet them because the only ones you
see are the cab drivers and waiters.
Take a drive up to British Properties in Vancouver and tell me about these "poor" immigrants some more.
4) The overall number of
refugees allowed in is only increasing by ONE PERCENT.
That's your war torn Somalians, Afghanis, Syrians etc you're so worried are going to grab your women.
A ONE PERCENT increase.
5) and finally, immigration is a net positive for a country......ALWAYS.
One only has to look at the examples of the US and Japan to see examples at either end of the paradigm.
While there may be problems in assimilating a minority of these, most do assimilate quite nicely. And while there is some initial expense involved with SOME of them, it's the second and third generations that give the modt benefit and contribute to public taxes.
Countries should (and do) take a long term view of public finances and immigration.
Demagogues and rednecks don't.
But hey, don't let the facts get in the way of a good whinging.
