I want to talk about this somewhere I want to try to understand why some people dislike the arrival of immigrants...
1) Immigration once built this country, all that it is building now is hatred and racism.
2) Numerous languages hinder the progression of this country.
3) There is not enough work for Canadians already....more people will equal even more unemployment
4) Immigration has only led to segregation and not assimilation except in those cities that have a lower population of new immigrants. Cities like Richmond, Brooks, Surrey and Brampton have all had huge influxes of certain ethnicities having massive changes on their population demographic.
5) If World War 3 broke out right now and you put up a flag of every country on this planet and gave every Canadian a choice to fight for one country, how many would fight for Canada???? It is those of us that would fight for the Maple Leaf that are suffering the most right now.
6) The majority of Canadians have NOT been taught anything about business and financial management. If you come to this country with a $1 in equity, you are ahead of the average Canadian. If you come to this country with a snippet of business knowledge, you are ahead of the average Canadian which is quite simply unacceptable in my books. No more immigration until Canadians are financially literate!!!
7) Many of these people come from countries where there is no gender equality. People are coming from countries where women are looked upon as breeders and nothing else. In places like China, due to the one child policy and its' male dominated culture they estimate that by 2050 there will be 20 MILLION males for every one female. To put that in perspective, it would mean that the ENTIRE population of Canada would be men except for only 2 females.....
8) Religious viewpoints of religious groups are changing our country. NEVER should religious beliefs change our country.
9) Signage and packaging are begining to have no English or French on them. Canadians NEED to enact some language laws.
10) People like the Chinese are buying out real estate in Vancouver and forcing the local pe0ple to be unable to afford housing.
11) Hate crimes in this country have risen by 100% in the last 10 years. Immigration is a key part of that problem.
12) Things like equal opportunity employment are almost non-existant in businesses owned by immigrants.
13) Many older immigrants have providing absolutely nothing to this country. They've contributed nothing to things like our health care system and are essentialy burdens on it draining resources from the people who have contributed
14) France, Germany, England and Australia have all recognized that immigration has not worked in their countries, let's take a lesson from their failures and end immigration.
15) Building racism. Local Vancouverites who are of Chinese descent can't stand the new Chinese that are flooding this city with money.
16) Barely any intermingling of cultures in the business world. Asians buy from Asians, Sihks from Sihks, Italians from Italians etc. etc.
17) I'm sick of going into corner stores and having people hand back change for my purchase and never ring anything through the till. I'm sick of going to get Chinese take-out and the people behind the counter hand me back change without ringing in anything through the register. People like this aren't playing within the rules and people that are, cannot compete against these unscrupulous business tactics.
18) Huge environmental concerns. Increased population have drastic affects on our ecology.
19) Some people come from countries that the last thing on their minds are things like the environment. Pollution is rampant in some of the countries they emanate from and things like recycling are unknown to some of these people.
20) People from CSIS are becoming worried that the huge immigrant population will one day become a problem for our National Security.
21) The Canadian culture will be destroyed if we don't end immigration!!!!!!!!!
The population does increase. There's less space, it's more crowded and we consume more and more... So, one said that the arrival of immigrants will worsen the availability of the current resources in the country....
My parents are immigrants. I was born in Canada. I feel Canada is my home and no where else. I somehow felt disturbed when people say such things. Why do they feel ''in danger'' ? Is it the competition in the job market and... the resources ?
I remember once that my professor said: ''we don't make enough babies, that's why we need immigrants to fill jobs when the baby-boomers retire''...
I tried to search more why people dislike immigrants and I found this on this forum.
Here is the post that disturbs me a lot : Why we should stop immigration into Canada?
1) Immigration once built this country, all that it is building now is hatred and racism.
2) Numerous languages hinder the progression of this country.
3) There is not enough work for Canadians already....more people will equal even more unemployment
4) Immigration has only led to segregation and not assimilation except in those cities that have a lower population of new immigrants. Cities like Richmond, Brooks, Surrey and Brampton have all had huge influxes of certain ethnicities having massive changes on their population demographic.
