When the American dream becomes a Canadian reality
Boston Globe ^ | 4/16/17 | Viser

Posted on 04/16/2017 9:09:29 AM PDT by pabianice

Propelled by fear — fear compounded after President Trump’s election and the start of the era of disruption, especially for immigrants, that he promised — they have fled north, walking miles across snowy fields, leaving the ghosts of their old lives behind, cars abandoned near the border, toys sitting unused in empty apartments. Drawn to America by the historic promise of liberty and opportunity, their guideposts now were the red lights flashing atop wind turbines, showing the way through the dead of night into a more welcoming land.

Unfortunately, this is based on fake news rather than reality.

It would be nice if tens of thousands crossed over the Canadian border each day and double that amount on the weekends.

They sure like to misuse the word “immigrant”.

The meme they are trying to invoke is the Underground Railroad of black slaves fleeing to Canada.

This is the latest absurd interpretation that the Rat party is trying to spin to keep their new voting mass in place.

The obvious fact that no one is trying to keep the illegals here as opposed to Southern slave owners trying to keep their “property” is of course irrelevant. Since the illegals are now principally brown skinned the equation is “Illegals are the New Negros, persecuted by Whitey”.

We should bless Canada with as many of them as possible so they can show their open armed warmth towards the Mexican diaspora.

And then we can break out the popcorn and watch the resulting chaos as the Cholos roll over their country and turn it into Sinaloa Norte.

If anyone cares to know, there are more and more up here who are not happy seeing these people come marching in with their sob stories that the Globe seems to be so interested in hearing.

Trudeau wants them. He love m*slims because he knows they breed fast and will guarantee him and his party power for many years to come.
As for the descendants of the English and French - he has chosen to throw them to the wolves.

I don’t think Canadians will put up with it for the decades we Americans did.

Well the good thing is I’m 49 and a little sharp and I didn’t make the connection.

Most under 40 will NEVER make the connection.

They’ll just feel bad as they order another pizza and play Playstation.

Your best chance to put an end to the shenanigans is now. Canada has over 30 years of American history to draw upon to know what will happen.

Drawn to America by the historic promise of a free ride and the chance to corrupt American culture...

Fixed it.

If Canadians are stupid enough to take them we should offer an express ride.

Sure they will. My daughter-in-law is from Calgary. She’s says it’s totally liberal there. The Canadians really have no choice about it. If you complain you’re called a racist and you could face charges for ‘’inciting hate’’.

I am so disgusted with illegal aliens. Especially Mexicans. They don't give a G damn about violating someones else's country, despoiling it with garbage, abandoned vehicles , committing violent crimes,violating someone elses laws and culture. It's all about their selfish interests and if you don't like it you're a racist gringo.

They abandon cars that are financed by idiot bankers who will lend to illegals.
