More to how many refugees we let in the country, if we can’t solve the homeless crisis and people in poverty and make life better for those people who live in our country. Why should I pay taxes to house, clothed and feed refugees when we can’t even help our own citizens in need a
@B4PDCFR2 days2D
Because research shows that a refugee is more likely to succeed with little help, while a homeless person will go back to the streets and drugs even after receiving all the help in the world they could prossibly get.
@9RC6CSZNew Democratic9mos9MO
Yes, but more skilled workers and less students via diploma mills who are aiming to get their parents PR status (not hearsay, they'll say this themselves)
Yes, but invest in language learning programs and support programs that enable them more social mobility
@9F6VT7Z2yrs2Y
No, but ensure immigrants have the resources they need to have good quality of life here first
@8W2L44P4yrs4Y
Yes, but there should be a probationary period coming into the country. The government should also be taking care of it’s own people first, especially indigenous reservations that STILL have no running hydro which means no water yet they fork out so much money to support immigrants.
@8VT3ZLMNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Stop discriminating against white people trying to immigrate.
@8VSCXBQ4yrs4Y
Stop giving them so much money
No for those who wants to bring their family here in Canada.
@8VH26PM4yrs4Y
I want us to accept refugees, but to reconsider the number of economic migrants we accept.
@8V8G7TF4yrs4Y
No, and the definition of family should be broadened to allow sponsorship of extended family members. More money needs to be spent so wait times are shortened. The entire immigration system should be overhauled and expanded. It is a mess!
@8TWVJPC4yrs4Y
Less immigration until we have more housing
@8RPW8WP4yrs4Y
No, but we should ensure we have the infrastructure in place to adequately support them and consider environmental issues (we can't just keep building subdivisions endlessly) in high-density areas when creating policy.
@8RB9GDN4yrs4Y
Be prepared for them to have a good safe country to welcome them
@8KJM4TX4yrs4Y
No but we should be monitoring how this is affecting the current state of communities. Is it increasing the quality of like or decreasing it? At this time, I feel our current policy is sufficient, but I wouldn’t want it to get out of control
@8JT4TBZ4yrs4Y
Monitor everyone, including citizens, background checks, allow everyone in
@8F7TBHX5yrs5Y
Make the process easier for skilled workers; block those with criminal backgrounds; prevent those with foreign interests buying up too much property
@8DM8TJ55yrs5Y
We need to use a through background check
@8D8N7PL5yrs5Y
Should be based on basic human empathy and compassion but the day the government does that is the day I marry Jake Gyllenhaal so
@958TX4J3yrs3Y
No, but the government should filter and try to benefit our economy in as many ways as possible.
No, but I wish for Canada to not become over populated.
