The idea of unlimited immigration is ridiculous. Canada doesn't need an unending supply of unskilled and uneducated labor. Let's look at demographics.  Where are the jobs?  Vancouver, Toronto mostly, so where will these immigrants go? But housing and full-time jobs aren't really that plentiful.  History:  At a time when Canada was developing, more people were needed, but that isn't the case now.  Economics: Immigrants aren't always good for the economy - they often receive more than they ever contribute.  Plus,  the article blurs the distinction between legal and ILLEGAL immigration and refugees. The U.S.has about 15 million illegal immigrants. These aren't people who applied for permission to enter, live and work in the U.S., but people who entered illegally.
