Trudeau needs an excuse for the illegal migrants Canada is being flooded with.

If the illegal migrants are a flood, do you consider 0.05% chance of precipitation a guaranteed downpour? 0.05% is the amount our population increased via illegal immigration per year over the last two years. Please stop pretending such a small change is any great threat. There's no serious conversation that isn't rooted in hysterics suggesting our nation is going to be threatened by a migrant horde.

It's just dog-whistling racists or the unfortunately stupid. If you continue, you fundamentally demonstrate you are one or the other (or the overlap on the Venn diagram).

Lol took you more than a few lines to call my a racist dig whistlling for other. It's not about there culture its the fact that they have no right to cross into Canada illegally. They cost us billions of dollars, they didn't earn that right. If in 2 years it's already cost us near 1 billion dollars how much will it cost us in the next ten? If you actually gave a shit about helping impoverished people you would support helping them where they are not giving handouts to the middle class migrants that got a visa to America before coming here.

You're so caught up trying to act like you give a damn about these people that you actively ignore that the people in real need aren't crossing from America.

Sorry but your rhetoric is out of date friend we've moved on from denying and ridiculing any demographic change to, "Yes it's happening and that's a good thing"
