I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.

The sad news is that you don’t either.

Not really.

A lot of Americans think people are rude when they give non Americans their behind to kiss and the non American not only refuses to do so but kicks them instead. I’ve got tons of experience with such Americans myself and kicking them instead is something I highly recommend.

Is anyone surprised? The US is slowly becoming a country for truck drivers and plumbers while the smart ones move to Canada.

By the way, that link that you posted is NOT a Government of Canada information source. It is a " private for profit immigration consulting company ".
ok, thank you. is there somewhere on the above link that lays out the scoring?

They are paid the same wages as Canadians get for the same work, are provided with inspected living quarters, and they are given the same medical care and treatment as Canadians get. Their flights and medical insurance are paid by their Canadian employers. MANY of these workers have been coming to Canada for decades and working for the same Canadian employers each year. Canada has a travel visa program for Mexican people who want to visit Canada, and there are direct flights from various Mexican cities to Canadian airports. My point is that Canada has reasonable legal ways for people from Mexico to come here, either to work seasonally, or as tourists.
We also have the unlimited H-2A visas that work virtually the same for agricultural jobs.

America should not allow businesses to influence our policies. It's dragging the us down. Because of it we have have the worst medical prices, some of the worst real estate prices, and too many illegals so less jobs for Americans.
I'm sure you are referring to Trump and there is no proof that he "knowingly" had illegal aliens working for him. They were promptly fired when caught using fake or stolen documents to gain employment.

Thanks for the laugh. California has more people than Canada. I guess the poor in the world never heard of Canada and their "better" people. You are the expert on this.

What does California having more people than Canada have to do with the topic? Bangladesh has way more people than Switzerland too.

Regarding the poor, I guess this has to do with the fact that it's easier for uneducated people to get employed in the US. In Canada it's almost impossible to get a job being illegal.

Not me, and I have Canadian friends in the U.S. and I've spent about half a year combined in all of the Canadian provinces.
