Donald Trump should inform the mexicans that Canada is much more lucrative for them

[TheMan]

Kenneth, for once I agree with you - they should all skip USA and go to Canada. Unfortunately for us, Canada does not let illegals flood across its borders. They let immigrants in based on:

Economic. This category represents the largest portion of immigrants each year. Selection is based on a point system that rewards applicants with higher levels of education, job experience, and language skills (i.e., English and French). With the manufacturing sector in decline and the country shifting toward a more information-based economy, this policy emphasizes flexible, transferable skills over specific occupations.

US lets in unskilled, low-income, uneducated people who don't speak English and become a burden to our social and educational systems. Canada lets the educated, high-skilled, RICH people who invest and improve their country - smart, don't you think?

Lol, why would rich people move? A wealthy man lives like a king whether he lives in Bangladesh, France or the US

A lot of the rich Chinese people got their money by "corrupt" means in China - so maybe they'd like to avoid the Chinese government which is cracking down on corruption. If you were rich, would you want to live in China with its polluted cities, escalator accidents, questionable food or in Canada where there's good air quality, excellent Chinatown food and safety controls?

Ah ok, I could see that.

For the most part, rich people don't uproot and move to a new country since they are already living the life in their country of origin.

What is your guys' definition of rich? That word gets used a lot.

(In USD) 100k/yr salary? 250k/yr salary? 1m/yr salary?

This is actually a great idea. We could help the cartels build a tunnel from the Mexico border all the way to the Canada border.

It depends on where you live in the States. Where I live 100k is a pretty average salary, and the average 3B/2b home on a half acre will cost you ~700k.

Or you can buy a mansion on 20 acres in Arkansas for 300k.

Canada's minimum wage = $11.00/hour

United States minimum wage = $7.25/hour


1 canadian dollar is worth .77 cents

the US dollar being worth more doesn't matter since the wages are below market value

bare minimum just to make the exchange fair they should be making $8.47/hour


but to make the discounts actually worth living in the states they should ALSO be making $11.00/hour




then factor in benefits and handouts that are common place up here.


its amazing immigrants dont just skip you and head farther north

speaking of Mexicans in Canada....

What up Kenny boy, when can we go hoop?

[gcvbcat]

Can indians come to Canada?

[DCL]

canada is too damn cold for mexicans.

that's why their ancestors moved south to mexico in the first place after crossing the frozen beiring strait from russia to alaska, if you believe in that human migration theory.

I say over 1mil.

I know several people who make over a quarter million, and they dont seem any more rich than anyone else.

Of course, being rich and being wealthy are two different things.

Trump is worried about undocumented Mexicans. They don't get minimum wage.

[moaz]

their standards of living are higher because they dont have as many blacks, mestizos, or arabs. their main immigrants are chinese who actually enhance society instead of drain it. (harsh words, but i'm not sugar coating the truth).

try that system out with a horde of 3rd worlders to support and see how that does for you.

US acts as a buffer between Canada and Mexico so that Canada doesn't get the mexicans. canada has no other boundaries with third world nations so their safe for the meantime.

The top 20 countries from which permanent residents originated (kind of green card holders) in 2013. For new immigrants Philippinos/Indians/Pakistanis outnumber Chinese by large numbers.

China 34,126
India 33,085
Philippines 29,539
Pakistan 12,602
Iran 11,291
USA 8,495
UK & Colonies 5,826
France 5,624
Iraq 14,918
Korea 4,509
Algeria 4,331
Nigeria 4,173
Egypt 4,164
Haiti 4,143
Mexico 3,996
Bangladesh 3,789
Colombia 3,632
Morocco 3,259
Ukraine 2,487
Jamaica 2,477

As you could see the majority is non white/chinese. All of the contribute to our great country. If you have the proper immigration system in place, it doesn't matter where the people come from.

Yeah, "corrupt".
