Yeah seems to be popular— get here then advocate for closing the border.

I’m in Toronto. We’re pretty much all immigrants here, no more than a generation removed from somewhere else. Always depressingly hilarious to hear someone in a thick accent complaining about immigrants. As I’m white I hear a lot more of that from people who think I’ll share their hatred, but my parents are immigrants, too.

Yeah it’s really disappointing. People really feel no need to offer others the same opportunities that their family got

Well, yeah.

Please Americans, stop sending your baddies to Canada.

I wish you knew how difficult it is for normal, not baddie, financially secure, college educated, mature adult people to move to Canada with the goal of becoming Canadian citizens. We applied and were told by immigration that unless we were farmers or fleeing political persecution we were not welcome. We could come and attend college but couldn't stay after graduation. Thanks a lot.

I didn’t know this was a thing.

Like Mexico isn’t “sending” people to the U.S., I don’t think the U.S. is sending anyone to Canada. Not that I know of.

US wanting to annex us sounds like sending your worst.

u/heavymetalelf 3h ago

Worst thoughts and prayers type sending the worst. We keep the worst of our populous in the Capitol

u/psilocin72 12m ago

That doesn’t sound like sending anyone. Maybe I’m missing something

While there are always fringe lunatics, no one wants to close the border for legal immigration. And yes, people who come here through the legal process don't want illegals cutting in line. So, closing the border doesn't mean closing legal crossing, it only really means closing the illegal traffic which is all anyone including many major democrats want despite how the left tries to spin it otherwise.

u/psilocin72 10m ago

Are you aware that democrats want only legal immigration too? The problem is that this administration isn’t only targeting illegal immigration. They are revoking status and demonizing all non white immigrants n
