I would also prefer that the government allow these immigrants to stay in Canada, especially given the fact that they are European as they tend to assimilate better than those that come from third world countries. That said, they did not go through the proper channels to become legitimate immigrants.
How would you feel if you spent big dollars for the opportunity to take your family to go watch the Toronto Maple Leafs play the Montreal Canadians only to find a bunch of strangers with standing only tickets sitting in your front row seats?
There is no such thing as a "Front of the line pass" to reduce your line-up time when it comes to immigration.
You know, son, you really should emigrate (legally) to the United States. There is a job waiting for you on the staff of Senator McCain.
What kind of non-sense comment is that? Why should the white europeans go first? Why are you so scared of the typical left-wing "racism" remark. They should not start with any one ethnicity, if they're going to do it they send everyone without discriminating.
Well said... I'd say because like the United States, Canada chooses to pick on the wrong people. God forbid Canada or the US pick on the chosen Arab people....
That'll never happen. Canada will NEVER mass deport Muslims, why? Because Canadians are terrified of Muslims. They'll only deport non-muslim Europeans and maybe latin americans. God forbid they offend arabs.
You mean "Madeira", spelling please.
Agree, Canada is leading the way to another WTC, except this time they're encouraging it. Canada, how many Christian Portuguese flew planes into your buildings Canada? Canada is a pussy country...
I looked it up, Madera is an acceptable spelling.
On top of that, I have an old hat my grandma gave me that has Madera on it.
I think the difference is how Americans spell European places such as Florence for Firenze, Rome for Roma.
As I recall, most of the Portuguese in Canada are from the Azores, usually Terceira. Do you have many Portuguese from the mainland?
I was at Lajes Field from 76 to 78 (Naval Air Facility).
"If you have bought a new home or a new condo, you know that the waiting times for getting a place just keep on getting longer and longer," Pedro Barata of the Portuguese National Congress said. "I think that the more we deport people who are needed in the construction industry, the longer those waits are going to be."
Deportation of illegals should alleviate the shortage
