As my deceased grandmother, born in the 19th century, used to warn me, we need to keep an eye on those French Canadians. They are just like Mexicans, they're Catholic and have lots of babies.

Thats disingenuous and you know it. This wave is not the same as the irish, italian etc. The numbers and percentages are higher and much more importantly this wave is coming from a country that shares a border with us. Combine that with North American perimeter security and the increasing push for the free movement of capital, goods and labor and this becomes something unprecedented. You know all this of course you just favor it so you cynically use nativist references to paint as racist those who object to what is a radical change in the nature of our borders. I know you want them to be temporary but you have to know that wont last. They will be naturalized.
