The US is a lost cause, everyone knows that. We're starting to exhibit a lot of the same symptoms for the same reasons... overcrowding, a bleak outlook by the lower-class, general population on the economy, and dismal leadership by our government.
What happens when illegal immigrants come to Canada? They claim refugee status or political asylum. From there, they get welfare, housing, OHIP, and who knows what else anymore. They get bumped ahead of down-on-their-luck real Canadians. Ultimately, they get lost in the legal sandstorm of backlogs and lost paperwork, they file for Citizenship, and then they just might make a contribution. Normally they don't.
It's why Toronto is eating itself from downtown up, and why else are they building more and more houses in the outlying areas?
A lack of backbone and enforcement by customs and our government.
