-If there country is safe for them to stay in
-If they are criminals
-If they are educated
-If they have family in the country they are trying to enter
-If they speak the language of the country they are trying to get into

Current inter country relations. Dont want sleeper agents or dual loyalty in case of war. That can destroy the country from inside out

I believe that we should be choose the best of the best in terms of academics and economics. Moving here should be a privilege and not a right. If someone can come here and contribute, welcome them with open arms.

A factor would be an openness to culture shift. We are secular, progressive society which can be a culture shock.

If you need to seek asylum or start a life in Canada, you're Canadian.

The capacity and population of the country they are attempting to enter, their plans when they enter the country (working, just visiting, planning to live here)

 @9X4XJVHfrom Ontario  answered…3wks3W

if they know about our country and the rights and laws.

 @9VZ434Xfrom Ontario  answered…1mo1MO

Crimes, the size of a family, how well do the know the language

 @9VZ3QBMNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…1mo1MO

If they've got a lengthy criminal record, that's about it. I don't care where they come from.

Immigration can improve the economy vastly, especially those who pay their taxes. The government should be promoting immigration to the country, rather than looking to make more restrictions. There should be a way to document them, to better integrate them to society.

 @9VZ4H5Tfrom Ontario  answered…1mo1MO

The immigrants should have no crimes committed and something to provide for the country.

 @9VZ46J7from Ontario  answered…1mo1MO

If they have a criminal record, what country they come from and the reason they are immigrating.

Texas Offers Trump 1,400 Acres for His Mass Deportation Dream

Officials in Texas have offered President-elect Trump a 1,400-acre ranch for his mass deportation plan.Dawn Buckingham, land commissioner of the Texas General Land Office, said in a letter to Trump Tuesday that her office was “fully prepared” to work with federal agencies that are going to be involved in Trump’s immigration plan, and specifically deportation.Buckingham offered Trump a 1,402-acre lot in Starr County. The lot is owned by the Texas General Land Office and is roughly 35 miles west of McAllen, Texas.She said the agency is ready to work with the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or the U.S. Border Patrol to build a facility on the land for “the processing, detention, and coordination of the largest deportation of violent criminals in the nation’s history.”“I am committed to using every available means at my disposal to gain complete operational security of our border,” Buckingham wrote.The letter and offering of land were first reported by The Texas Tribune. Last month, the state bought the land along the U.S.-Mexico border and has plans to build a wall.In the letter, Buckingham criticized her predecessor for not allowing a border wall to be built on the property. Those actions “enabled cartel members and violent criminals to sexually abuse migrant women and children on this land,” she said.On Monday, Trump signaled he would declare an immigration national emergency and use military assets to support his mass deportation plan when he returns to office.

International Criminal Court Issues Arrest Warrant For Netanyahu

The International Criminal Court on Thursday issued arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and the former Israeli defense minister, Yoav Gallant, for crimes against humanity and war crimes in the Gaza Strip.Karim Khan, the court’s chief prosecutor, had requested the arrest warrants in May for the two Israelis, alongside three top Hamas officials. Israel has fiercely contested the court’s allegations, which include the use of starvation as a weapon of war and “intentionally directing an attack against the civilian population.”The court on Thursday also issued a warrant for the arrest of Muhammad Deif, Hamas’s military chief, for crimes against humanity, including murder, hostage taking and sexual violence. Israel said in August that it had killed Mr. Deif. Mr. Khan had also sought arrest warrants for Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas, and Ismail Haniyeh, another top figure in the militant group, both of whom were later killed by Israel.The warrants added to Israel’s declining legitimacy on the world stage, where it has faced increasingly fierce condemnation over its conduct of the war against Hamas in Gaza. Israel insists that it fights in accordance with the international laws of war.
