Lol give Deneb a break. He just wants to be able to live in the U.S. (specifically Hawaii or south Florida for the climate) without having to go through the immigration hurdle or language barrier
That's part of it for sure but I think about all the people in the world who would love to move to a different country and they can't because of stupid borders. You see it all the time here on C-D. Someone wants to move from country A to country B and there are all these barriers put up which is stupid. 1000 years ago there was no such thing as a passport or visa at least in the form we know today and people could go wherever they wanted. Humans are built to wander and roam not to be told they can't go somewhere. It's almost like being an animal in captivity.
There are already homeless people living in Stanley Park. I'd be fine if they set up camp somewhere on the north shore too
Sounds like you are okay with having lots of homeless. Here where I live two our downtown is now swimming in them a church a couple of years back started serving a really nice breakfast daily to the homeless another one started serving them daily lunches apparently they liked it so much word got out that the food was so much better here that now all their friends showed up as well word traveled fast they came from all over the state and have no plans to leave since the food is so good according to them.
I would like to see some definitions. There are many countries that require a visa, but the vise can be obtained upon arrival at some entry points and not others. How are those enumerated? For example, Ethioipia, which issues a 30-day single-entry visa at the airport when you arrive with an American passport, but the visa needs to be obtained from a consulate in advance if arriving at a land border, and the one issued at the airport cannot be used to leave and reenter by land.
I think we should all have open borders and do away with passports and visas. I don't think it's right to restrict people where they can travel and live. We all live on one planet and we're all human beings.
True! those imaginary lines on maps are unnatural and taken too seriously at times.

So what do they do about poor and uneducated Canadians?

We pay our taxes... we buy our own belongings and vacations so i have no right to give them up if i don't want to... telling a human he can't live on another part of his planet is inhumane

BTW I don't oppose legal immigration in general I just find the notion of no borders especially this day in age absurd.

Shanty town? why not just keep building more public housing (like what cities already do)
I don't object to receiving some poor and uneducated immigrants with a strong work ethic what I was referring to was with open borders I have no doubt developed countries would receive an influx of undesirable individuals that some countries would be happy to see go and likely encourage to leave.
I was being sarcastic. I don't believe any housing should be built for immigrants, my entire family in the USA arrived as immigrants worked hard we all own homes no one did it for us and we wouldn't want them to we have pride and a work ethic, everything I have I worked for and never expected anything from anyone.

I suppose all such cases are considered visa-free...lol, otherwise we (Belarus) would not have 66 visa free countries, we actually need visas to most places. I have no idea where they found these 66 countries for us)) i can recall only about 40 even with visas on arrival and other such cases.
And Belarus itself is probably considered visa-free for all countries in the ranking as everyone can obtain a visa on arrival at Minsk Airport - but not at any land borders.

I agree, housing built for JUST immigrants would not be fair... housing built for ALL those who are struggling financially (many of whom could be immigrants or non immigrants) is cool.
Where can we see the list of countries we can visit?
