Is anyone worried about CANADIAN immigration?

You have a point.  The recent arguments about immigration have focused on the border with Mexico.  But immigration can come overland from Canada, as well.  Which means whatever security we really need at airports to prevent terrorists, we also realistically need at every part of every border.  Such a thorough system of electronic search and so on is obviously impractical.  Therefore, are we kidding ourselves that the extra manpower, expense and inconvenience at the airports is serving any useful purpose?  As the questioner points out, it probably never did make much difference, anyway; the original 9/11 gang did not come in through an airport.\n\nSo how do we combat terrorism if these measures are about guaranteed to be ineffective?  It has been said repeatedly that the intelligence community (the spies, if you will) knew a great deal about Osama bit Leaden (I don't use his real name on purpose) before 9/11/2001.  They warned their bosses, including the president, who played it his way.  You gotta wonder if he didn't like the idea of an excuse to put restrictive measures on airports and the various other compromises to our freedom we have accepted under the "homeland security" rubric.  (Love the tee shirt with a picture of several old Indian warriors!)  \n\nFolks, our borders are too long, and with modern transportation, too open to everyone and anyone, for us to even try to stem the flow.  Why not say come; I lift my lamp beside the golden door.  If you come in peace, and are willing to work hard to make your way here, come.  If you do not behave well, we will send you home.

What's the question? Canada has a fairly lax immigration process, the US is more rigid. People illegally enter both countries and siphon resources away from citizens and legal immigrants. The US INS has a PR problem, and our reactionary politicians generally only add fuel to the fire.

It may happen if enough immigrants make their way into the states and ruin this country like they did their own.  Then they can either go back or up to Canada...and nobody wants to go to Canada!

yes of course\nI dont need to be canadian to answer this because as a Filipino, we have great knowledge about these issues of migration to Canada since most Canadian recruitment are here plus majority of foreign migrants to Canada are well skilled Filipinos\n\nYes you can migrate there together with your family\nCanada having an Ageing Population needs additional population which can support that need and demand\nCanada prioritize families more than individual persons because they believe people will strive more and work hard if they hold their whole family, therefore it will result in a productive community\nCanada values education and so even if you are not well educated, their government will require and at the same time support you to achieve academic needs\n\nI also know alot of Asians including Pakistans who lives there and having a good life\n\nI hope I have enlightened you

See here's the thing-\nCanadians come down here and find out Canada is better, so they go back. They don't take our jobs, and they don't bring all 700 of thier kids with them either. \n\nAlso, have you ever tried to cross the US/Canada border?? It's really much harder to do that than crossing the US/Mexico border.  Trust me, I live in Texas, and have been to Mexico several times. There's a lot of work that needs to be done to make the southern border as efficient and secure as the Northern border.

I would say that anyone considering immigrating to another country should consult an attorney that is familiar with the immigration laws in that country. That way they will know exactly what needs to be done and prevents a lot of wasted time running around trying to figure things out. I've seen ads for several Canadian attorneys that specialize in this area.

You are right. many Americans will flee to Canada to keep from serving their country. The comical/sad/pathetic part is that the draft is going to be a product of the liberals/democrats and the draft dodgers are going to be the bloody fools that voted them in.\n\nI love to see swift justice

I think immigration's out-of-control. I think that a lot of our politicians have some bright ideas about 'one world' etc., and some of those don't quite work out the way they planned, and then there's those gosh-darn unintended consequences etc.\nIf people keep it civil, immigration's no problem, but we're well beyond 'civil' in some cases, and policies need to be improved and amended to slow this stuff down quite a bit....bum's rush doesn't cut it...

If you really have a good relationship, then where you are shouldn't really matter.  U.S. Immigration on the other hand, is chore to deal with. My advice?\n\nGo to Canada!

Canadian Immigration requires a little research.  Seems our neighbors to the North are a little picky about who they let in ;-)  \n\nThere is a website describing the process of immigrating to Canada here:  http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/index.html  \n\nnote that this site is in English.  If you read, write, and speak French it could help you in your quest to immigrate to Canada.

I am emailing your question to my son in T.O. who has an M.A. in environment studies and who works with imigrants in Canada on a daily basis. Hope he can help you.

Well, im american, and we have a lot of debate always going on about immigration policy here too. I know little of canadian immigration matters, however, if it helps, most{not all} immigrants to usa dont contribute much but cheap labor, however, there children usually assimilate very quickly, and that generation becomes contributing tax paying citizens. So, if your an optimist,  it can be looked at as an investment in the future.

Yes, I did know that Canada had illegal immigration, what I didn't know was there is a percentage of Mexicans involved. You have educated me to that. I was under the impression that you problem was mostly with Asians and Indian and middle east.

Canada is a nice country, maybe the people from China see a life there they'd want to live.  There's plenty of everything in Canada and no population problem and it's as good a place as any to migrate to.
