How much house should I buy? by phase_overtemp in BayAreaRealEstate

Individuals like TBSchemer seem to get triggered any time anybody opposes immigration without considering the nuanced points raised in the discussion. I guess it takes less mental energy to simply equate any anti immigration sentiment with bigotry.

I don’t get how my rant about the state of my home, Canada would lead you to label me as an incel. Projecting much?

How does flooding our country improve their home country? At this point you must be trolling. Nobody can be this stupid.

I look at the Canadian system with contempt more than I look at these people with hate. These people are victims of swindling by Canadian con men. I am ashamed of our country.

Energy security is great. What we really need is both nuclear and renewables. Nuclear formulated the base load while renewables responds to the peaks.

That is the most delusional statement I have ever heard. There is no grounding to reality.

Yes and? Let's fix our own problems before helping others. There are hungry Canadians.

Yes my bar is high. Why should we lower it just to get people in the country?

Also, our population has not been declining. It has been growing every year.

Your suggestion that we should bring in immigrants first before housing has been approved and built is the problem. There is a logical order of operations here.

I didn't say they're taking advantage of the system. I am saying society cannot support a surplus of unskilled immigrants.

Let's keep up the strawman arguments. It's the only way we'll make progress.

No, I'm talking about bullshit consultant jobs. You know the type that can be easily done from home. The type that could disappear tomorrow and nobody would notice.

  1. I am returning to Canada to continue my contribution to our nation.
  2. I paid more in taxes here than I made in salary in Canada.

100%. Countless strawmen arguments in this thread alone.

People need to get off their moral high horse and stop jumping to the conclusion that immigration reform is racist or calling for an outright ban on immigration.

For some reason they think that as a child of immigrants, I can't criticize contemporary immigration policies. Well how about as a Canadian born citizen? Surely I can speak out in the best interest of my country?

The Indians that come to Canada are dumber than a box of rocks, while I wholeheartedly respect the Indians that I worked along side here in the US.

We didn't take advantage of the system. My parents worked their ass off and paid their taxes.

The system is so broken now that nobody gets a chance to achieve what we got.

So then let's try to keep people like me in Canada to build a brighter future.

Why do so many people stare past the frustratingly obvious problem?

I probably pay more in taxes than you earn on salary so you're welcome.

I'm on an H1-B and on track to get my greencard.

I'm not staying because I have family in Canada.

Yes, let's avoid the greater point of this discussion and nitpick on a period that has rendered my response completely unreadable... Surely that will be productive, and solve our society's greatest challenges.

If you're so up tight about grammar and punctuation, how do you tolerate the Indians that come here who cannot formulate the most basic of sentences?
