Does canada have bad illegal immigration like the US does?

Question

This problem to me is going to result in another civil war if the government doesn't step in and secure our borders once and for all! (not likely) How have you been effected by illegal immigration and how important is it to you in the next election?

Answer 1

Canada does have illegal immigrants, just not as many as USA. I've actually heard many illegals before talking about how their friends are in Canada, they wanted to go to Canada because they pay more money and aren't as mean to illegals as we are.

Answer 2

The only "bad illegal immigration" as you put it, is the one glorified on the one sided news coverages of today. Civil War........very unlikely! but the violence against illegal immigrants and even legal Hispanics has increased. I thought these activist where for laws and piece in their nation, but it seems like they are a bunch of Hypocrites. Illegal immigration doesn't bother me a bit because they are not harming me in any way. They help our economy by being consumers, and yes! they pay taxes regardless of what Antis say. They do the work a lot of us don't want to do. If they are gone, no matter how much the wages are increased, you won't get Americans to pick strawberries in the middle of summer or even lettuce in the middle of winter. They just don't hold jobs in meat packing plants and landscaping.

Answer 3

I guess I am just lucky.

Answer 4

we certainly have illegals in Canada but situation isnt nearly as bad up here for two reasons;

1: we dont border a third world country where wages are 1/10 what they are in our country like the US/Mexico situation so not as tempting to try and enter illegally..

2: Employers here cannot deduct wages against taxes as a business expense without citing the employees "social insurance number".  If you dont have a social insurance number your going to have a tough time finding an employer in Canada

Answer 5

Canada does not have the same illegal immigration the US does, but then Canada does not border any countries with a weaker economy than theirs.
