      Are you First Nation?

      Yes? Then you aren’t an immigrant.

      No? Find out where your family originated from before coming to Canada, and that would be the place.

      The bigots from the poll have a problem with the other immigrants who aren’t them or their family.

              You can certainly criticize immigration policy, but having a problem with immigrants seems like a double standard.

              Does that make sense now?

                  why are you assuming that’s not the reasoning the people in the poll have?

                  Well, you have to read the article/poll, because a large number said that immigrants (as people) are a harm to Canada.

                  Barely anyone in Canada actually dislikes immigrants themselves

                  We can agree to disagree on this point. Seeing how hate crimes are up, and that only visible minority immigrants are targeted, I’d say we are far from having a country where everyone likes immigrants (as people).

        What a ridiculous statement though. There were people in Canada before the current indigenous people, does that make our First Nations, Metis, and Inuit peoples settlers and conquerors? Where’s the buck stop?

          Do the pollsters have a problem with our indigenous “immigrants” or just the brown, yellow, and black ones?

          When I hear someone say that “there are too many immigrants!”, they aren’t talking about immigration policy. They are actually just being racist towards the other immigrants.

          The majority of people in this country are a descendent of an immigrant of the last several generations. So, it’s silly to have a problem with actual immigrant people.
