No, i don't, but Canada allows far fewer than the United States does, so it made little sense.

On a per capita basis Canada admits far more immigration than the US does. Over 20% of Canadians are foreign born. Last I heard it was around 13% in the US. In fact the country is planning on taking in at least 1 million new immigrants over the next 3 years in refugee, family and economic categories.

I ask again, if you want to follow Canada's lead in immigration and refugee policies are you prepared to accept the higher numbers of immigrants and refugees that would entail?

Derp , duh "per capita" ain't shit. Canada allows far, far, far fewer immigrants than the United States does. End of story.

You really do a tremendous job of presenting just how willfully ignorant you are about, I guess, just about everything. It always gives me a chuckle.

Keep dancing little fascista. Someday you'll figure out that whole rhythm and beat thing.

I'd just like the United States to have the same immigration restrictions that Canada has. It would be a great improvement for us.

That's not what Canada's laws would do for the United States, but good lie errr, try.

If you got your information as something other than propaganda talking points and passed on links you might actually have something to contribute other than your terrible dancing. Unfortunately we seem to be stuck with the bad dancing.

Keep trying little fascista.
 
I actually agree for the first time with Ann Coulter on Trump’s performance at this meeting. She said it proves what Wolff said in his book.

Well Canada is larger than the United States. 3,855 square miles as opposed to 3,797 square miles. They should allow as many immigrants or more in as the United States, yet they allow only 1/4 or less immigrants to Canada. Damn chiselers.

All I want for the United States are the same immigration laws that Canada has.

Every argument for or against immigration is based on its impact on the destination country, whether that impact be economic, political or cultural. Such impact can only be measured on a per capita basis. Few people would claim that adding 5000 immigrants to the US - a country of 310,000,000 - would make a lick of difference one way or the other. But adding 5000 immigrants to the country of Liechtenstein - population 37,000 - could have a major impact on the country. For example, one argument against immigration is that immigrants "steal jobs." What is 5000 jobs against a work force of 80,000,000? And what is 5,000 jobs against a work force of say, 13,000?

Land area is irrelevant. Both the US and Canada are - relatively speaking - at low population relative to land area. Either country can easily absorb immigration in the numbers they've been taking, or even many times that number, if available space was the only issue.

BTW, unlike the US, a huge portion of Canada is at best marginally habitable due to arctic climate. Not that this matters much for immigration either because the habitable parts of either country are more than sufficient to absorb tons more immigration than either of them currently permits.

I can't believe anyone would question the accuracy or truth from Michael Wolff's book after that meeting.
Just that one open secession proved everything Wolff has been saying and wrote about Donald Trump.
This is the thing, Trump is the most controlled human puppet in human history.
The republicans knew exactly what they were getting and how this would play out.
Naturally, most will defend and come to Trump's support but after all, this is really not about Donald Trump. This is all about empowering their agenda.
And this makes sense why Trump would lash out against his own one day, then embrace the next.
If you were being used and you knew it, there would be times you would hate your situation and those gaining from it. But on the other hand you love the attention and the pats on the back, even though your a nothing, and a loser, and what you do or say amounts to nothing. Not to anyone that maters.
This fact is worth noting... Donald Trump is the most insecure individual ever to enter public life.
I doubt you will ever see or meet anyone as insecure as this man.
He knows he is being used. And there are times when it makes him angry. But then he realizes what else does he have going at his age?
And it does stroke his need for attention as long as that attention is self gratifying for Donald Trump.
Until republicans finally lose their control, and that day is coming, this will go on and on and on.
Powerful republicans pulling the strings, and Donald Trump kept around only for their amusement.
Plus, signing on the dotted line when so instructed.
Who is running the show? Your guess is good as mine but one thing for certain... Not Donald Trump.

Why would the United States having the same immigration laws as Canada be a bad thing then?
