Boges Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 I don't think the reaction to the two are equivalent. Andrew Sheer and Doug Ford haven't labelled it as an invasion and called for the Military to be called to man the border. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironstone Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 From what I see on the news,most of the people in this caravan appear to be young men and not mostly women and children as some would have you believe. What exactly is preventing anyone from applying to get into the US through normal channels? The immigration laws should be applied and enforced. I admit Canada is just as bad if not worse in allowing an open door immigration policy.At the end of the day,it does not benefit the country. The Democrats have no qualms about using these people solely for their own gains(votes). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shady Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 These people aren't coming to the United States and Canada because of climate change. That's absolutely preposterous. They're coming because they're countries are run very poorly, with rampant violence and corruption. Somebody needs to coin the term Hispanic privilege. The privilege of ignoring countries immigration laws, and immigrating to another country, skipping the line, and demanding citizenship status. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a privilege when somebody else in the world facing the same or worse circumstances can't do the same. They go through the proper process of applying, etc. They can't just walk across a border and demand things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no quarrel with how the US choses to manage its borders but to call these people "privileged" is just ignorant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. There's no right to emigrate to another country. There's especially no right to skip the line in front of other people under similar or worse circumstances.
