What is your impression of immigrants?

[peeonme]

I use the words 'illegal immigrant' to describe them.

'Refugee' is just the latest liberal far-left attempt at redefining the English language to propagandise for their ideological beliefs, and to marginalise and slander anyone and everyone who disagrees with them.

It goes without saying that if you dare speak out to challenge what they decree, you get labelled an awful, despicable, evil, fascist, racist.... (blah blah blah)

Other examples include terrorists becoming 'fighters' or 'militants' and are not allowed to be referred to as Muslim or Islamic in the same sentence, and ISIS / Islamic State becoming 'Daesh' to avoid offending the nice kind group.

It is total intellectual cowardice. Rather than address and debate the substance, they are more concerned with policing the English language to segregate those who don't believe 100% of what they say, then to isolate them, then to slander them. Freedom of speech directly under attack.

It is the WORST aspect of liberalism and socialism, and I will fight it every day.

China Towns rule some parts of Canada. How real Canadians take on that issue? Easy peasy? Or some are getting restless?

We Americans always restless/anxious if anything became too much ^^

We love our Chinese Communities. It is what it is. They don't 'rule' anything...any more than other communities do.

Over the last two centuries, Canada has accepted floods of immigrants, including refugees, form all around the world. Our present immigration policies have become very regressive and conservative.

Our conservative government is likely to fall partly as a result of its appalling handling of the current Syrian refugee crisis. After agreeing that Canada would take 10,000 (only 10,000) for the next three years, (and after taking in only a few hundred in 2014), it is now September and we have only accepted 2500.

Makes sense for some of these comments to be putting down immigrants after all as LGBT none of us have ever been put down. Those who do should be ashamed of themselves My great Grandparents came over to the states from Italy in the early 1900's without a dime and in side of 1o years had a shop. I and my brothers, sisters and cousins etc. have worked our ass off. Illegal emigrants have to be dealt with but no one in the States except for The Native American who if any of you remember we really screwed are true Americans! No different in other countries like Israel and the Palestinians, Trump wanting to build a wall between the states and Canada, Any one who votes for him is an ass hole I doubt they will put him up as a candidate unless the Republicans could possibly be stupider than we all think they are!

If Trump ever did get in, World War III would surely happen. Trump is a fucking douche... I can't wait until he chokes and then scampers off into the rock he came from.

That actually my alien status in early 2003 when I first came in.. This event really prompted me to move overseas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_1998_riots_of_Indonesia

so the formula is simple. No 98 riots, then I wouldn't be here since my dad probably venture in other aspect of life. My dad is a captain, I just follow his direction..until 24 yo ^^

Glad to know and thanks for understanding, although they often messing up your (country) traffic ^^

Today, Australia has announced it will take 12000 Syrian refugees almost immediately.
It will take the most defenseless and the weakest ones from the camps in Jordan and Lebanon.

I'm more concerned about Spaniard ignorant youngsters wich is a biggest population than any inmigrant group in Spain and also seems grow faster.

Why are certain youth/young people ignorant in Spain?

 

[geloge]

Why are certain youth/young people ignorant in Spain?

I would like to know the reason. We have a very high ratio of students who fail to pass primary and secundary school levels and while I don't think studies make you necessary intelligent it's something for consideration. In the last years it only has got worse. Also, lately it seems like anything that doesn't automatically produce wealth it's not useful or minimally worth of effort or inversion. I don't think this happens just in Spain but for me it seems more accentuated here. As a result we have a big and growing population more prone to action than to reflection while many people with studies is leaving the country because of the economic situation.

I mean... I was born in Hartford Connecticut, so it's not like I'm not American, but I grew up and lived almost my whole life in Canada and I'm a Canadian Citizen and have always felt Canadian. I don't feel American, really... but I do vote in elections and sponsored my husband for his Green Card.

But yes... Canadians are immigrants, we're just... you know... on average better-educated, in better health, speak two languages and have less racial bias.

I'm surprised they would let you keep your US citizenship given that you also had Canadian. While we've been okay with dual citizenship for a while (or triple for that matter), the Americans have not been so enthusiastic. A friend of mine with an American father got a letter when he was 18 from the US gov't saying "You must now choose..." They expected him to either renounce his Canadian citizenship and live as a foreigner in the country he was born in, or give up the birthright of US citizenship from his father.

Obviously it must have changed at some point because Ted Cruz.

 

[jbrown329]

I don't know how long the US has allowed dual citizenship. Been a long time though. To own MSM in this country, you have to be a citizen. That's how Rupert Murdoch was able to start Fox. Murdoch became a naturalized citizen of the US in 1985. Joe (PUKE) Lieberman has dual citizenship. US and Israel.

It's very difficult to lose your American Citizenship. You'd have to join the Iraqi Army and renounce it... something totally treasonous like that. I was born in 1968 and it was like that long before that. I have never heard of anyone being told "you have to choose."

Anyone who went to the middle east to fight against American troops and/or joined an extremist group (Adam Yahiye Gadahn) for one. Should be stripped of their citizenship. What they've done is treason.

It isn't just the middle east that forces you to give up US citizenship... there's also countries like Austria, Norway, Slovakia, Japan, etc... don't allow dual citizenship either.

That sounds like hear-say to my ears.

In fact, many European countries (basically, all European Union members, and many others too) are very flexible regarding that question, since the respective nationality/citizenship should be considered as an emanation of the Citizenship of the European Union.

And persons who obtain two or more EU-citizenships at the time they were born usually won't have any problems (unless there's the question of mandatory military service, but even that question doesn't force one to renounce a EU-citizenship).

I can only speak for the Dutch situation where many people want to get rid of double nationalities now since Turkey and Morocco have used Dutch double passport citizens in the past to infiltrate in Dutch government. (and when I say 'infiltrate', I don't mean just having Dutch citizens of Moroccan/Turkish descent being appointed in positions of authority, in the cases that I'm referring to there was all kinds of spying and illegal consultations with their country of origin).

The double passports are also hereditary, meaning e.g. that the Moroccan monarchy has the authority to ensure that Dutch-Moroccan citizens have the government approved names.

PVV leader Geert Wilders has proposed the abolition of the possibility of having multiple passports for Dutch citizens, and so far only a few expatriates have protested against it (outside of the obvious). I'm not sure about this, but I would be overjoyed if the legal possibilities for double passport citizens to walk over the rest of the nation would be curbed.
