Debate: Immigration
I saw that documentary. I thought it was well done. A tad outdated (1984), but it showed the realities of immigration. Personally I think there's nothing wrong with how they handle immigration. People with money should be allowed in, and people without shouldn't. We don't need more people to come in and be a burden on our system. We already have enough of those born and raised in Canada.
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

IMO, any American who favors putting restrictions on imigration (with the exception of the small percentage of Native Americans) is being hypocritical. Afterall, this country was built on immigrants.

Brutus is an honorable man
It's just coincidence that oil men will wage war in an oil rich land
And this one goes out to my man taking cover in the trenches with a gun in his hand
Then gets home and no one flinches when he can't feed his fam...

I think he's trying to say that most of us wouldn't be allowed to immigrate if we were trying to come in from other countries.
Which is true. I personally am a lazy brat who was fortunate enough to be born in Saskatoon.
No comments on how it's hardly fortunate to be born in saskatoon.

Just because you live in the country doesn't mean you have to agree wholly with its origins or its imigration practices.

Every now and then I fall out into open air just to feel the wind, rain and everything.
And though the hum and sway gets me down, I'll find the way to peace and openness.
