Then by gosh, let's build corridors that the illegals can use to go straight from Mexice, directly to Canada, and skip the US entirely. We'll see how the vaunted Canadian Social Services can handle having 12+ million illegals in the country, with many of them on the dole in one way or another. Welfare, food stamps, medical, etc. You have socialized medicine, so that will eliminate them using hospital emergency rooms inl lieu of a family doctor, then not paying, which as created a huge healthcare crisis in this country. We'll help them to come drive in your country without drivers licences, or insurance, and if they have an accident, or get in other trouble with the law, they can trot back down the corridor into Mexico, where they can't be prosecuted for their crimes...

Actually, IMO, Canucks shouldn't have ANYTHING to say about any of our dealings with the illegals, because it's not their country....Just be glad that the northern border is as porous as it is, so you can smuggle your BC Bud into the states where you can make a killing on it...

The last time the US didn't allow people the same freedoms as everyone else, Canada did take the 'burden'. It wasn't called "corridors" but the underground railroad for slaves. But those slaves weren't American...hell they weren't born in the US, why should they be allowed rights and freedoms?

Canada today brings in many emigrants, and brought many japanese over to build the railroad; these are all examples of low income immigrants who have been given the chance to succeed from nothing in our country. We too have a large farming sector in southern ontario, and we bring in workers from latin america. We have illegals in our country as well.

Your comment on "BC Bud" was a low blow...our economy benefits minimally from the export of this drug. Do I have to name all the illegal drugs that come UP through the border? No hard stuff is grown here, it's all shipped from the US. I'm sure your country benefits greatly from this. :roll:

You can't put the entire burden of Mexico's problems on the American taxpayer.

Sure he can, he's Canadian.

That would explain his enthusiasm for wanting to spend someone elses money. How bout we stick our hands into the canadian treasury and pluck out some cash to offset our expenses here in the states for these illegals. It's painfully obvious he doesn't understand what is going on here. We can't keep on running up the national debt to new record levels everytime we turn around. GW has already set 3 record deficits and with a dwindling tax base and more people elligable for government entitlements it won't take long for the cookie to crumble. We're headed straight to national bankruptcy if we maintain the status quo and the hosers can shove it up their asses. Let them take on the burden of 20 million guest workers with tens of thousands more pouring across the border every day. Lets send them all to canada.

imho, the senate bill is not tailored specifically for those illegal aliens seeking amnesty. if anything the senate bill is only meant to shut them up and qualify them for welfare programs. the senate bill is however, primarily designed to continue the flow of illegal aliens unabated.

of what use is an alien that can be documented and tracked by the IRS when their potential employers want them to be as invisible as possible so that their only labor expense is the few dineros they pay these aliens at day's end?

what businessperson in their right mind would agree to hiring registered and documented alien workers that must be treated (from an expense point of view) the same as hiring a citizen with a real SSN, a need for company sponsored health/welfare benefits, holidays and weekends off, overtime, etc.?

what illegal alien in his/her right mind would want their measly pay to be cut in half through deductions from state and federal income taxes, social security, etc. etc. when alot of them are getting cash on the barrel head no questions asked?

if the senate bill is passed intact, the only loser will be joe the taxpayer.

HAHAHA!! Nope, neither country's economy benefits from the drug trade, except in how much money is spent in the illusionary attempt to stop it. Yes that was a low blow, and was meant to be such, just to make a point about the border...Speaking of low blows, how's your job? ;) heh-heh...no offense intended eh. Just having a bit of fun with it.
While Canada's immigration record may be commendable, you have no right nor business trying to advise us on how to run our immigration policies It's OUR country, not yours, not theirs....Personally, I'm in favor of rounding up all the illegals and sending them back to whichever country they came from, and make them apply for entry, just like everyone else. There might be some accomodations for the ones who own real property, but only if they meet all the other entry requirements first.
If you grant amnesty to the ones here illegally, not only is it a slap in the face of those who have gone thru or are in the process of going thru our immigration system, but it will only draw more and more. The 1986 amnesty is proof ot that.

exactly the point. that is exactly what the senate version of the bill is meant to do: to start that process all over again; to keep the status quo.

the people who crafted the senate version of the bill are not lazy bottom feeders working for scraps. they are literary magicians and snake-oil salespeople whose official titles are lawyers and marketing gurus.

they are assigned only one task: to make clowns and fools of those who expect the laws of the land to be respected and obeyed. wiins link is a perfect example of how numerous special interest legislative packages gets slipped past the trusting and naive public. pretty words with insidious underpinnings is the only product of their efforts and they are experts at it.

that's the reality of it.

that's the reality of it all.
