File 9 for Canadian opinions! When the dumbasses get 30 million illegals in their country they can get back to us!
How is it that we don't have 30 million poor Americans sneaking into Canada for the cradle to the grave social programs we have here? The reason is we don't hire illegal immigrants! If you don't have a valid SIN CARD, you can't apply for benefits. No just a number, but the actual government issued SIN card. You must have one to be hired. Employers must see the CARD, make a copy, and put it in your employee file or face a $10,000 fine, per employee, upon Revenue Canada audit.
To get a government health care card, I need government issued ID (either birth certificate or SIN Card), and proof of residence. We have an open border and no huge problem with illegal immigration because you can't get work or government assistance as an illegal.
Americans have an illegal immigrant problem because you allow people to hire illegal immigrants, and you give benefits to people who are in the country illegally. The reason for this is that Republicans have consistently refused to enforce immigration law or to crack down on illegal workers or the people who employ them.
The situation you have now has not only been tolerated, but actually encouraged by generations of Republican lawmakers, and by virtue of their lack of passing or enforcing laws meant to restrict employment of undocumented illegals. Undocumented workers self-deported during the Great Recession, proving once and for all that these people will leave if they can't find work. 300,000 illegals from Mexico returned to Mexico between 2008 and 2011. Trump is the first Republican President to actually want to stop illegal immigration, even as his resorts routinely hire illegals.
