Re: Should Canada take in the DACA refugees?
misleading thread title to promote an agenda. These aren't refugees. That word has now lost all meaning, thanks to the overwhelming over-use by leftists constantly virtue signaling.

Re: Should Canada take in the DACA refugees?
I say YES!!
We are going to take in a certain number annually anyway, why not the cream of the crop.
" What countries are DACA recipients from?
Nationally, the majority of DACA recipients (about 78 percent) are from Mexico, according to the USCIS.
The second most common country of origin is El Salvador at about 4 percent, followed by other Central American nations, Guatemala and Honduras, both at about 2 percent.
Other countries of origin, including South Korea, Brazil, Jamaica, Poland, Pakistan and India, among many others, account for less than 1 percent each."
As a bonus for some of you - 80% of people from Hispanic countries are Catholic! Hurray!

Take them and tax them like the rest of us. That's how you pay for them. Allow them to legally come into Canada, following Canadian rules and Immigration, and let them thrive.

They came to the US as children and, as the children of illegals, they tend to better educated and than most Americans. Their parents tried to make sure they took full advantage. They are probably very good candidates, even by conservative standards, to become good Canadians. But then many of them are racial minorities, and the right wing in Canada will do anything to prevent their immigration, all the while hiding behind every excuse they can to deny their racism, fearful of a minority immigrant succeeding where so many of the right fail.

no one in Canada was more right wing than William Lyon Mackenzie King, who vehemently opposed immigration of actual refugees (instead of the fake ones the left keeps misleading everyone about) who happened to be Jewish. What a right-wing radical! I really hope that all of the SJW's unite to pull down King's statue on Parliament Hill, and erase this rabid right-winger from our history books.
The authors identify Frederick Blair, the head of immigration in William Lyon Mackenzie King's government, as a top official who opposed and limited Jewish immigration. They say that Blair's policy had the full support of Mackenzie King, who was prime minister 1935–48, Vincent Massey, the high commissioner to Britain,[2] and both Anglophone and Francophone elites in general.

The fact is, it is not up to us so - called Canadians.
