Based on title of post (US Immigrants)... another propagated False Premise by poster.

I find it so funny that the Canadian Prime Minister stated to the world that Canada will welcome all immigrants who seek citizenship. As immigrants cross the border - they are immediately arrested. LOL

Now I see in the news that after a few thousand have arrived in Canada, they worry once the weather clears lots more will be coming.  

I hope they get their wish & I want to hear how their opinions change after a million or more show up. Increased crime, overloaded welfare system, problems in public education, etc.  

Try getting over 15 million like America.
