Birth rates are all you need to know to predict the future of Canada.

So what are we doing about low birth rates? Nothing. Instead we're bringing in replacements.

Why do I have to keep posting this for people who have been involved in immigration discussions here for years? I've probably posted it ten times now.

Anyone crossing the US/Canada border into Canada illegally not from a legal border crossing should be warned, and then have a warning shot fired at them.   If they continue to try and cross the border they should be shot.  

Let's not get ridiculous. There are far more humane ways to deal with the situation. You pass a law using the Notwithstanding clause which allows for the immediate detention and expedited hearing of anyone crossing into Canada without permission. Set up refugee camps and put them there so they can't disappear into the streets, then give them a hearing within a week. If they don't have some convincing evidence they are being targeted and have no other place to go, deport them immediately. It should not matter that they come from a crappy country like Somalia or Haiti. Millions live in these countries. So can they.

More importantly, refugees and immigrants of certain types will vote predictably. Muslims vote Liberal, so let's bring in more Muslims. Europeans, on the other hand don't vote reliably for any single party so the hell with them.

Seems like Neville Chamberlain is in charge of every western-European government; appease, appease so they won't get angry at us.

This time around it may be too late for Churchill to come along.

If they have kids just arrest them then geez.

I suspect that people desperate to get out of the States are going to ignore any campaign trying to discourage them, including the possibility of being shot.

Then they get shot.  I suspect that will stop them despite best efforts.

Maybe i'd arrest them and boot their butts over the border again instead of shooting them, I dunno, either way I don't want anyone sneaking into Canada illegally.  I suspect if you arrest them they might just try again until they succeed.

They need to become citizens first.  That takes years.

Hard to imagine we can do anything about the low birth rates in order to reverse the trend.  Canada probably keep immigrating large numbers of foreigners to grow the population for centuries unless the way  the economic system works or the way people have & take care of babies fundamentally changes.  RIP caucasians, we had a good run.

Under Trudeau it takes less years than it used to. I'm wondering if he'll try to reduce the waiting period even further.

I don't agree with killing people for crossing the border, but agree that there could be a better way of impressing upon them that illegal immigration will not work.   I am not ceryain about the situation in Haiti, I am guessing they are economic refugees rather than war refugees and don't face near certain death if they go back to Haiti.  Not sure I would want to send Syrians away if it meant they would be deported back to Syria.

Who knows.  Under the Harper gov it was living in Canada 4 out of last 6 years to become citizenship, and time in Canada before you had permanent residence status didn't count.  Trudeau changed it to where you have to live in Canada 3 out of last 5 years, and time before becoming a PR counts toward that time.

Liberals to their credit did recently change it so if you were on parole serving a conditional sentence that time didn't count towards the time required.

If you snuck into the US over the border illegally and US border guards saw you and you kept running into the US after they told you to stop or turn around & after the fired a warning shot would you expect to be shot?  Would you be surprised if you were?  If you stole a banana from a store and the police told you to stop & you didn't and you kept running & then they fired a warning shot & you kept running would you expect to be shot?

They aren't refugees they've been granted conditional status in the US because of the 2010 earthquake in Haiti & don't have to abide by the US agreement and go back home.

We cannot shoot intruders into our own homes without being charged. Wonder what the border agents cannot do.

Well I probably wouldn't shoot them, I'd say arrest them and then tell them to go through a proper border crossing, then we should have an agreement with the US for them to be prosecuted for their crime in the US & we do the same for Canadians fleeing illegally into the US.  We shouldn't even be looking at their status if they cross illegally, just arrest & send back.  Eff this nonsense.

I agree.  Send them back, but back to the USA or back to Haiti or wherever they came from?

Another solution is to build a large moat across the entirety of Canada filled with liquid cow manure & porcupines in tiny life-jackets & guarded by some really cranky skunks.  It's the Canadian way.

This is my opinion and has nothing to do with what the US chooses to do, or even Canada for that matter.  I don't believe crossing a border should be a death penalty offense, unless we are at active war with a border country.

You're missing the point here I think.  "We (Canada)" don't have to send them back anywhere but the US.  They cross the border there, they go back where they came from - they are not our problem.  Let the US pay for their deportation if that was their first safe country.  Any idea what happens to me if I try to do the same thing and sneak into the States?

I still believe that the Canadian border should have guards with guns patrolling it against border jumpers.  They run....they get shot.  Only takes a couple of those before word gets out and the flow is stemmed.  And to be clear, I am NOT against any particular skin color - I AM against my money going to people who jump the queue.  The whole immigration debate for me is about money; nothing more.

If they're born in Canada, they're automatically Canadian citizens!

 

Don't forget too, that the government looks the other way about Muslims having multiple wives!  That means multiply the amount of children they have compared to our marriages.

Clarification:  If the US was hell bent in returning them to Syria.  Or gays back to places like Saudi I woukd be against returning them to the States.

Ah yes, money money money, people don't matter.
