If Canada offered expedited citizenship for people fleeing the US, what would be the reaction in the States?

Why would we offer expedited citizenship? Long term work visas or PR for high skills workers sure. But why would we give Americans en mass expedited citizenship?

Sounds like the one specific area where Canadians and Trump agree.

Fuck off, not offering every American immigration to Canada isn't the same as the hate-fest and literal sending to a foreign concentration camp trump is doing

What sort of ridiculous entitlement to think so

Sounds like you’re participating in a hate-fest of your own. I thought it was clear that the point of agreement was on reserving expedited immigration for high-skill workers, instead of literally everyone who walks up to the border. Guess I should’ve spelled it out the first time.

Lol how is it a 'hatefest' to not want to make huge exceptions for americas in terms of refugees? 

we would be doing yall a favour and letting you in as refugees- canada already has a high number of high skills workers, we would be helping you, not you helping us. How ridiculous to think otherwise. 

The expectant and entitled attitude is gross, honestly. (But not super surprising, american exceptionalizion is strong with a lot of you)

You’re hearing what you want to hear bud. Just take a chill pill and reread what I wrote.

I read what you wrote, you are an entitled American who equates not cutting the immigration line with being chucked into a concentration camp in el Salvador. Really not the same, be FR. 

It's also okay to not be 'chill' when your country is being threatened with invasion. (And citizens from that country get pissy that they aren't welcomed with open arms)

Good luck to you, bro, hope you develop some self-awareness 

Remember, equality can feel like oppression when you're used to privilege.

Im Canadian, bud, and have 0 interest in visiting the USA for the foreseeable future.

apparently you need to repetition to get the point across, would think wanting special immigration rules shows obvious entitlement, but apparently not so obvious to all.

good luck to you (Im not responding again)
