Deportations

No self-respecting Canadian would do the jobs the Filipinos and Portuguese do, regardless of the wage. We all want to be CEO's and not get our hands dirty.

I have to agree with this. There is a reason than the majority of construction workers are immigrants. Many Canadians don't want to do it. Many younge people want to earn full tradesmen wages from day one ($35 to $60 an hour) If you don't offer them that they won't work. It takes 5 to 10 years to became a tradesman. They don't want to start with the $15 an hour as an apprentice.

The problem also is that we have way too many young people attending university studying philosophy/social science/political science etc. and not enough attending colleges/trade schools where they can actually learn to do something useful.

There is a reason why farmers hire foreign workers to pick cherries and chop down Christmas trees and that reason is because indigenous Canadians won't do those jobs.
 
You mean from the countries where Western Neo-Conservative foreign policy has totally destroyed basic living standards?

You mean in countries where Western aid and Medicine has helped these populations explode by 1000% and are now spilling over into Western countries?
 
Worst was when they got rid of the EE strippers. Send the rest of the off shore workers home and make social assistance recipient fill the jobs or cut them off. I wouldn't even mind if social assistance supplemented the wages, we'd still save money. Am I a red neck or what?

Wow that ia a totally uneducated position.
Western aid conditions do not trickle down to populations, it actually hampers local economies from thriving because of the conditions that are set in terms of what can be invested in, and the high interest rates. People from Africa, Latin America, South East Asia, The Middle East etc, are victims of NeoCon Western Imperialism and immigration numbers from those parts would be different had they not been.

Also populations wouldn't have exploded if they had better economic conditions, studies show women have less offspring when they're more educated and career oriented.
 
Anyone who is in the country illegally should be deported its that simple. If they wish to stay they should have filled out the proper paperwork and complied with the law.

If it is illegal, then there is something wrong with the law when we deport otherwise law abiding hard working Filipinos and Portuguese. Is this the same law that allows Somali drug dealers (to service Rob Ford) to become legal residents/citizens?

Let's not forget it is the "white man" who discovered a cure for Ebola. Of course some people think it is the white man who invented Ebola and HIV.
 
This sets up The liberals to have new immigration laws to campaign on this years election. The cons have shot themselves in the foot.

There is no cure for Ebola, there is only treatment. Nobody knows if Ebola and HIV were invented but science says these things evolve over time.
The conditions in the third world were definitely manufactured by Western Imperialist policies and that is a fact.

These people should have applied to emigrate to Canada instead of just looking for a temporary work visa. As soon as they overstay their visa they become subject to deportation simple as that. They should have known beforehand how the system and immigration law works.

Because living condition were so good before hand? Because there weren't constant tribal wars before?

Fact is that being a part of the modern world has pluses and minuses. Seems pretty immoral to me to keep medicines and advancements from people. It's like arguing that providing condoms to people in AIDS epidemic areas is a bad thing because it might alter their previous societal values.

Face it. People can be pretty fucked up if they want. We might have changed which people had the upper hand in their regional conflicts and we might have made it easier to kill but we didn't invent the ideas of greed, jealousy, anger, or hatred.

I agree, but I think the issue is that we didn't provide many of them a path to citizenship. There were no papers they could have filled out in many cases.

I believe quite strongly that if we let someone work in Canada we ought to provide them an option to stay after putting in a required number of years of employed residency.

If they won't qualify for permanent residence no matter what they do then we never should have issued a work visa.

Someone who has demonstrated they are capable of holding down a job for three years seems like a good immigrant!

You have a typical liberal hippie blame the white man for everything 1960's mentality. You've been brainwashed to believe that crap well.
 
The system is totally fcuked up. Now they want to deport quarterback Henry Burris. Apparently, he isn't good enough for Canada. Stop the deportations! Stop this insanity!
 
Who cares. Because anybody who wants to stay in Canada will eventually go underground to do so. There are plenty of scumbags waiting to exploit them for pocket change.
 
What about the Jamaicans who do a lot worse? Most of the big time drug dealers or producers are not young black males.

You mean like the many Jamaicans that the Canadian papers will tell you are not Jamaicans but rather Canadians (The Baileys, Changs, Lee-Chins, Vaz-Oxlades etc etc, Bennetts, or the many progressive and law abiding Jamaicans that don't make the headlines)? I'm sure they deport all the Jamaicans who do wrong (and can no longer pimp), when they catch them, so no need to worry just yet.

I think Royson James once said that 95% of Jamaicans are law abiding and hard working. What Mr. James didn't say is that 99% of Chinese, Koreans, E.I.'s, maybe even Pakistanis, etc. are law abiding and hard working.

Apparently, the government said they will "help" Burris to stay in Canada. The government should help by changing the law.
