But using tear gas to prevent illegal crossing is not against human rights or anything to be honest. It was happening under Obama's presidency. Overwhelming immigration is never the solution. Right now the asylum system is so overwhelmed that real asylum seekers like LGBT members from countries where being gay is punishable by prison or death etc... can't get their claims heard for up to 4 years. During those years, their life is simply up in the air. They only have short term employment authorizations (hard to find employers who accept those, so they remain jobless for a while), can't visit their families etc... So the U.S really shouldn't take more people in than it can handle. It'll hurt those same immigrants that it's taking. The US can accept more tho Here in Canada our immigration rate is triple (3X) the US relative to population (we accepted 1% equivalent of our population whereas the US accepts some 0.3% equivalent) and actually helped the economy tremendously by helping offset the aging population Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada only has one border to the USA. Canada doesn’t need to “worry” about illegal immigration unlike USA or EU. Canada can pick who to let in and who not.

No I agree that in terms of illegal immigrants we don't have that same issue and that it's hard for a Country like US bordering a Country like Mexico I'm talking about LEGAL immigrants they can certainly take more if they wanted and they really contribute to economy Our immigration is 340,000 for next year (I forget what this years target is) so it's close to 1% of population I don't know how many Germany takes in must be a lot given the open borders Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
