    Or they are afraid all of the illegal criminals will move north because Trump may kick them out…?

    PS it’s only the left who is talking about leaving the US…. again.

    Well, we know by now that the illegals are moving to where the jobs are. It's pretty safe to assume that if there were jobs in Canada, they'd have moved there already.

    To answer your question.

    Yeah that’s why the criminal element who are here illegally are in the US. They just came to look for legal employment….

    Fail

    Yeah, that's why most of the illegal immigrants who came here aren't criminals, they came here to work.

    Fail. As usual.

    While most aren’t criminals enough are.

    If they are just wanting to go to Canada to work Canada wouldn’t be tightening their border would they? Unless Canadians are against brown people too.
    They aren’t doing it because of all the Dems who swore they would leave if Trump won, or maybe they are…

    Or......maybe Canada doesn't have abundant unskilled jobs for them, and industries that want them as labor.

    The concern on the right with crime by immigrants is bogus BS. Crime by native Americans is significantly higher than by legal and illegal immigrants. Crime is just the right's excuse to keep brown people from coming in - that and because immigration has been made a major issue by the jerk who will be our next president, which the mindless knee-jerk righties immediately take up as a cause de celebre. TWICE - TWO TIMES! - a bipartisan bill was reached only to be voted down by........you guessed it: the right wingers so concerned about immigration.

    Sorry about the tone, but the utter hypocrisy, and the pandering to the worst in us, really angers me.

    This.

    At this point, the most interesting part of this "debate" is that the same old lies from the right actually work. And the facts aren't even recognized.

    It's truly fascinating to watch though. The USA has had various major immigrant or non-white labor blocks for its entire existence; slaves, Chinese, European immigrants, Latinos, etc. etc. And political hacks demonizing them for cheap votes has been the most stale, tired, yet effective tool of in our political history.

    Yet here we are - having just elected a racist liar who told us (lied) on national TV that immigrants are "eating the dogs and cats."

    Sad commentary on our electorate.

    Can you give an example from the engineering world of diversity being a strength? Like something women, LGBTQP or whomever bring to the engineering table.

    To be honest I’m kinda joking about that part, don’t worry your tone is fine IMHO.


    In all honesty why is Canada tightening up their border?

    At this point, nobody actually even knows if this is really happening.

    Because nobody is willing to click on The Daily Bo Snerdly.

    Probably to keep the illegal criminals that Biden let in from migrating to Canada.
