Absolutely. They're "benefit-shopping," and leftists are defending it even though it comes at the expense of Americans. Hey.....I just thought of a good slogan for Warren: "Americans last!"
And that Normstad (or whatever) is a Canadian?? He's got some nerve complaining about how awful our country is - and how OUR taxes should be allocated.
If you’re not even an American citizen, but one of these Canadians that do nothing but clog South Florida even more than it already is while enjoying it, you realllllly should shut up.
Once again, I pay more taxes in the USA than Canada. You should be grateful.
I pay more taxes in the USA than I do in Canada, because of the way I've structured my situation. I don't have a vote, so I should be even MORE upset than those who do, right?
I'm not. I am a humanitarian, and all human being count. I don't like children in cages. I don't like children separated from their parents, the parents deported, and the children left behind. That is cruel. It is inhumane. My tax dollars pay for that, tax dollars I can't vote on.
So, I'm going to suggest I have even MORE skin in the game, and your darn rights I will espouse my perspectives.
You are a snowbird. How exactly do you pay more taxes here than in Canada?
And please don't tell me you pay taxes through sale tax.
Canada already takes more refugees than the USA... in total. Just by chance, the USA should be taking 10 times what Canada does.
Whatever happened to what is inscribed on the Statue of Liberty?
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
What I stated was absolutely true. Canada has taken in more refugees than the USA, and only has 10% of its population. I never mentioned any other country... why did you?
False. Last year is the first time since the 1980 Refugee act that Canada has resettled more refugees than the United States. You have told that lie more than once now.
You are a snowbird. How exactly do you pay more taxes here than in Canada?

Yeah, I was wondering that, too. Poster isn't an American citizen but pays more taxes here?

No I won't. Stop coming here, there are enough crybabies in this nation who actually have the right to be that way without foreigners injecting their BS. You're not even a citizen; you don't see me lecturing Canadians on their boards about some of the absurdities of that nation.
I know a racist, bigotted government when I see one. Currently, that includes the USA. It was not always that way, and when those that value humanitarianism over racism, it will once again be the beacon it was to freedom and equality in the world.
Right now, the current occupant of the Oval Office, and many that support him, are acting like a tin-pot banana republic.
NewsFlash: The USA currently has a labor shortage in unskilled workers.
U.S. immigration policy emphasizes family reunification
Contrary to conventional thinking, it could be argued the U.S. system is more “compassionate” than Canada’s. Almost seven in 10 of those who settle lawfully in the U.S. are close relatives of previous immigrants. Each U.S. immigrant on average sponsors 3.5 family members.
Canada, meanwhile,*restricts “family reunification” immigrants to about one in five.*Canada mostly picks immigrants to boost economic expansion. Two of three immigrants are brought in because of their skills and education. Trump’s plan, created by son-in-law Jared Kushner, copies Canada’s reasoning.
