#1 "a disportionate number of Al-Qaeda in Canada because of their very liberal immigration laws."

What the hell is that supposed to mean? A lot of this rhetoric is bandied about but nobody seems able to supply any specific examples of what they mean by Canadian liberal immigration policies.

The problem is, the Canadian government promises a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for every qualified immigrant that they accept, but then abandons them when they arrive, thinking they will assimilate and adapt almost immediately. Some do, some don't. Those that don't, cry racism, and their kids become radicalized even though they've been brought up here. Simple as that.

Stop promising the pot of gold. Give more points for evidence of entrepreneurship skills, and make them sign papers upon papers outlined in bold that they understand they are on their own once they land here.

#2 Welcome to our world.

Finally - but somehow it'll be our fault.

#3 These guys are not coming in as immigrants, Rafael, but refugees. Immigrant do have grade scales and wherewithall. Took 10 years and 12 years respectively for immigration of UK relatives - with paperwork, money and job guarantees.

It's the "refugees", without documentation or background check that get turned loose. With good bucks and all the gravy while they spin through the system for 10 or 12 years "pending appeal". Married to their old country wars all the while and snearing at the country that is stupid enough to bend to their every whim.

A genuine refugee does assimilate as quickly as they can (I do ESL classes as a volunteer and meet all types). The welfare cheque and "hate the country, love the free living" crowd really stand out.

#4 I worked for a private security firm in the GTA for 3 years. Because it's been the easiest job to get until recently (it's basically customer service with minimal security training), many immigrants flock to this type of work initially, if they can't find a job in their field.

Dude, I've seen and heard it all. I mean all. Can I put that in bold? ALL. Some of these guys I'd like to escort to the border myself, and make sure they never come back. The only sanity in that 3-year experience was that I've met some really good guys with military and police experience from abroad. Learned a lot from them.

As far as the refugees, there's been news lately about families being deported, the latest is that Latin-American family, whom the judge allowed to stay until June so that the kids can finish their school year. There was that Polish family a while back. And some dude whose claim was rejected. So the system does seem to work. Admittedly, it's kinda hard to stop people from requesting refugee status once they get here through any means. At least the whole refugee shopping thing has been curtailed by the new laws.
