Loved this article. Great reading.
Suppose for a moment that 15 million Americans -- the population of Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, and Connecticut combined -- sneaked across the border into Quebec. Suppose that these illegal immigrants refused to learn to speak French, that they applied for Canadian welfare, that they reproduced at a rate higher than Quebec's residents, and that they bankrupted Canada's socialized medical system. Suppose that they sent their children to Canadian schools in such large numbers that Quebec's school system had to teach "French as a Second Language" courses.
Suppose that the 15 million illegal American aliens included large numbers of criminals, drug dealers from Vermont, and arms traffickers, causing Quebec's crime rate to soar; that they comprised 20% to 30% of Quebec's prison inmates; and that they routinely evaded capture by Canadian authorities by sneaking back across the border, where they engaged in gang warfare.
Suppose that the illegal Americans congregated in packs on Montreal street corners, looking for day labor for which they did not pay taxes, and drove through the streets of Quebec without driver's licenses or motor vehicle insurance. Suppose that the illegals marched openly in the streets of Montreal, waving the Stars and Stripes, celebrating the Fourth of July, and demanding amnesty. Suppose that illegal American college students formed radical pro-U.S. organizations on Quebec's campuses and demanded resident tuition discounts and affirmative-action preferences.
Let us further suppose that when the Montreal Canadiens played the Washington Capitals at the Bell Centre, large numbers of illegal Americans waved the American flag, booed, hissed, and doused Canadiens fans with beer when "O, Canada" was sung in French prior to the opening face-off...........

The Immigration department, supported by the Liberals, NDP, and every advocacy group in the country would claim the illegals had the right to be here and that they were entitled to all the benefits provided to Canadian citizens.
ReplyDeleteit's not Canadian welfare. Welfare is a provincial jurisdiction.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, a lot harder to find work under the table in Montreal these days. Everything is tax deductible with a simple production of a receipt. Look in want ads in Montreal papers for domestics and such, they're all required to provide receipts for these employers, thus, the worker has no choice but to declare.
Not to mention, CSST is stamping out deregulated black market construction companies, due to serious injuries and even death resulting in work accidents and unsafe conditions.
Also, most who come here, to Quebec know they have to learn French in order to assimilate and that courses in language and Quebecois culture are offered to them. I think anyone with half a brain realizes that if they really don't want to learn French, go to Toronto instead.
