I know it was bound to happen long ago, Canada citizens will regret opening there arms to these third world folks, last I know the Chinese were moving there from China most of them in Vancouver B.C, and the Canadians don't like them. That's what some Canadians told me.

Actually; many of the 'Chinese' are from Hong Kong.......and, most of not all of them can immigrate to any other British Commonwealth country if memory holds me correctly.

Alert your local officials, let them know that you oppose RFID,IN ANY FORM..
this will affect ALL of us, not just the immigrants, it will be thrust upon us, and they will use immigration issues as the excuse,
Divide and conquer...that is how that can happen.
If you do not yet know what RFID is , please for your children , your loved ones and yourselves , know that THIS is the technology being touted as the end all be all of security and "safety"..
It is in fact a tracking device, seems out of this world doesn't it? Well guess again.
See verichip, see Applied digital, see also Somark Innovations.
Please, CALL YOUR SENATOR AND CONGRESSMAN NOWW!!!!!!!!!!!Tell them that you OPPOSE this!!
It is a permanent thing with the RFID tattoo, already being negotiated by Somark Innovations for contracts with the Federal Govt.
Please know that my appeal to you is real.
I am praying for this country and for all of you.

Don't worry about that, we're adaptive people. If we can live in an Apartment with 15 other people and survive on beans and tortillas for years, we are pretty much prepared for anything.

Several of my friend have French Canadian or Nova Scoatian ancestors; the British shipped them to Louisiana in the early 1800s.... they didn't want the French. Hence, you got Acadians. You are correct; they came and worked hard. Many moved back north -- one friends family went west and eventually came back to NY state, another's father moved back to VT. They were sent here by force from Canada but became Americans.

A LOT of Hong Kong people moved out to Vancouver in the last few months before the Chinese took over the colony. For some reason I can't imagine, they apparently wanted an 'out' in case the Chinese went back on their word about respecting the rights of Hong Kong residents. Many bought homes in Vancouver, sent their familes out, but remained in Hong Kong to keep an 'eye' on their property. For British subjects, Canada was easier to enter than the US (and is getting to be preferable, I suppose).....
I'm not sure how the new Chinese "regime" is working out in Hong Kong. Seems 'quiet' there, but maybe we just don't 'hear' much news....(?)

Is it 100%? Are there any illegals who don't do these things that we despise?
There are many very nice, hard-working people. The problem is because our borders are not enforced the bad ones are coming in too. Enforce the border and we can start letting the honest law-abiding ones who go through all the legal channels in.
