That's what I keep saying.  Cut immigration departments, and simply require people to have jobs before they move to Canada.  We don't need immigration laws, right ?

I know you actually want lots of government control over immigration and expect them to change their ways to "Canadian"

Okay, but we end all social welfare programs. Because a very wise economist named Milton  pointed out that open immigration cannot exist with a welfare state.

You want open immigration like we had in the nineteenth century? Okay. Same conditions. Come and work. Feed yourself and your family or die. And it's no skin off my nose either way. No government assistance to them of any kind, no health care, no welfare, no housing, no pensions other than what they pay into, no language or training assistance, no nothing. And the minute they break the law (no legal assistance either) they're booted out with no appeals.

Even better, we can require that they pay into social insurance programs that will cover this.

It's TAXES, man, it's all taxes. By the way, we end progressive taxes. If they're gonna live here they're gonna pay taxes just like I do. Why should I be paying for the roads and bridges and schools and police and fire department they use? No child care benefits, either. All that stuff has to go.

Because you're selling to 'em, your economy is growing and as an old stock Canadian you are benefiting.

Bullshit. My economy is growing? How does that help me? If I invite a guy over for dinner and he brings more food then I have more food, sure, but more people eating it. So I have no benefit there. More people means more demand for goods and services? Sure, and more people working to satisfy that demand. No benefit to me there either.

Said no conservative ever.

I couldn't help but notice you failed to address the question, let alone answer it.

So far our 'growing economy' means higher deficits, higher debt, more crowding and higher taxes. I'm supposed to be happy with that?

A nation's culture needs no government assistance. If the government stays out of it a national culture will form on its own as people mix and meld and work and live together. Most government aid seems to be designed to prevent that happening.

Argus, I tend to disagree. A government should help artists. The State? Maybe not.

Sikhs have a lot less influence over Canadian politics than Jewish-Canadians with Israeli citizenship and nationalism. But I guess that's okay, since they're not brown. At least the European ones.

Let me know if questioning this particular so-called ethnic group's influence over the government is wrong but questioning those brown guys is okay.

Here is an article that's going to make those who advocate selective free speech cring:
