According to the Latin Times:
"Canadians lead U.S. immigrants in unauthorized visa overstays, according to first-ever estimates from the Department of Homeland Security. Just under half of all immigrants in the country illegally are Mexican nationals, according to Pew Research. That share may decrease in the coming years, as Central American migrants to outpace Mexican in unauthorized land-based border crossings. But what about immigrants who come to the U.S. legally with a business, tourist or student visa? Most are from Canada, not Mexico ... DHS now estimates 93,000 Canadian overstays, more than double the amount of Mexican overstays (42,000) and about the same as the combined total of South America. Canada has a smaller population than Mexico and Latin America, so its citizens also have a higher rate of overstays in addition to just raw figures."
Now that's pretty rich when you consider all the jaw flapping going on up here about 'Canadian superiority' and such. But, as American border guards (and others) have pointed out: if Canada is so great, why are Canadians going down to the US to work and vacation? In fact, why do so many leave and never return? Why would people rather live there as illegals than return to Canada?
Also amazing to me, is the the fact that Canadian overstays are double Mexican ones - when you consider the violence going on in Mexico due to the drug cartels. Yes, people would rather put up with living in poverty and violence in Mexico, than be forced to stay in Canada - no joke.
And sneaking over the border is not just a Mexican pastime, but happens from Canada too. According to the website US Immigration:
"The common image of an illegal immigrant sneaking into the U.S. involves a Latin American huddling for cover in the brush of an expansive desert. It’s hot, dry, and desolate. Perhaps they are attempting to swim across the Rio Grande as it meanders through the dusty climes of the southern U.S. or jump a fence in the middle of the night. There is a different, much less publicized form of illegal immigrant—the kind coming from Canada ...
... Last year, in an attempt to slow the flow of illegal immigration from Canada, CBP spent $20 million on a surveillance system that monitors 34 miles of the St. Clair River bordering Michigan and Canada—a popular destination for illegal immigrants crossing from Canada.
... Michigan is a particularly popular crossing point. Many lakes and rivers compose the border between the state and Canada and illegal immigrants use the rugged vastness of the terrain to their advantage. Kyle Niemi of the U.S. Coast Guard division charged with patrolling Michigan’s waterways has said, "It's a very complex system. ... You have lakes that are akin to seas—they're humongous. And then there are rivers that in the winter months you can walk across. It's a fragile system."
There you have it folks. When the Liberals make living in Canada so unaffordable even prostituting yourself won't work ... you know where to go!
According to the Department of Homeland Security report, there are roughly 93,000 Canadians living illegally after expired visas.
In 2015, the governor of Wisconsin floated the idea of building a wall across the Canada-US border. Nothing came of it because it was generally shrugged off as something silly and unnecessary. Most Canadians living illegally in the US do so by overstaying legitimate visas, not sneaking across. Still, it makes you wonder about the future.
In my opinion, Canada is headed for a massive decline. Brain-drain to the US has always been a problem, but now it won't merely be the brightest minds leaving, simply people who want better opportunities after years of failing to qualify for emigration.
Let's look at a few key facts:
Right now twenty percent of Canada's population is the result of immigration. This is an attempt by the government to keep the population at sustainable levels.
From Statistics Canada:
"According to all scenarios, population aging would continue in the coming years. Over the next two decades in particular, the proportion of seniors aged 65 years and over in the population would grow rapidly as the large baby-boom (1946 to 1965) cohort reaches age 65 and over. Thus, by 2030, the year in which the youngest baby boomers will reach age 65, close to one in four persons in Canada would be aged 65 years or over (22.2% in the high-growth scenario, 22.8% in the medium-growth scenario and 23.6% in the low-growth scenario) compared with 15.3% in 2013.
The number of persons aged 65 years and over per 100 persons aged 15 to 64 years would also increase, from about 22 in 2013 to 37 in 2030 according to the medium-growth scenario.
During the same period, the working-age population—persons aged 15 to 64 years, most of them being in the labour force—would decrease according to all projection scenarios, from 68.6% in 2013 to about 60% in 2030. Between 2030 and 2063, this proportion would remain fairly stable."
On top of the aging population we have other factors, mentioned in previous posts. First, drama with the Chinese over their spying in Canada and influence through key officials. Next, terrorism from the immigration population and the locals who have been radicalized ... it's already becoming an issue and will only get worse. Third, the home-born citizens lashing out because by 2030 - 100% of the population growth will come from immigration; cue: culture clashes, resentments, inter-conflicts. All of this will be exacerbated by idiot politicians' need to be politically correct and ignore their constituents for the votes from immigrants.
Then of course there is the cost of living which is rising exponentially and hitting ridiculous levels, coupled with the lousy economy and staggering debt of the provinces - particularly Ontario.
Not good times ahead for Canada. The irony is that all the politicians and rich bigwigs mouthing off about 'stupid, racist, idiot 'Merica' will all be the ones flying down there for health care, vacationing in Florida, and likely moving (they will have the money) permanently. It will be the typical buffoon working class Canadian without the option to leave who will remain, while muttering self-assurances of superiority and slaving to pay the extortionists in charge of basic necessities.
Maybe in the end, the best thing for Canada is for Canadians to be stuck there among their own: forced to contend with their own self-created society. Perhaps then they will stop looking down on others and actually make the country livable.
Time to get building that wall! The hordes of Canadians are coming!
