In the early 60's my wife and her family immigrated to Canada. The benefit they got were the opportunity to live and work here. Their story was the same as my (four) Grandparents. Come, work and don't commit crimes lest you be deported. They all got the same benefits ... the opportunity to live and work here. Too bad that;'s COMPLETELY changed.

NO ONLY THE PERSON ------ BUT HIS FAMILY ALSO = US CITIZENS . ---------- MY Father was a Victim of the OPERATION WET BACK in the 1950's and Early 1960's . and He was a CITIZEN . ((( HE WAS NEVER SEEN AGAIN ))) They Took them to the DESERTS Near the Border and Just Dumped them ((( NO WATER , NO FOOD ))) Most DID NO LIVE . ------------------- NOW Up To 60% Of LATINO Voted for TRUMP , ******* SAY GOOD BY TO YOUR OWN FAMILY MEMBERS ********* They will NEVER BE SEEN AGAIN .

When I was young, late 50's early 60's, I was jealous of people living in the US. We'd go to my Dad's professional conferences in various areas and everyone seemed to drive such expensive cars and live in such big houses. Now I know that's just window dressing. You have to look at what's underneath. I didnt see the poverty and the racism. Canada unfortunately has people who would like to take Canada down the same road as the US. We have good medical care, a social net, respect human and reproductive rights, attempt to keep religion out of politics, gun control (a pro hunter here!) , fair school funding (the whole province, not just district), and the list could go on. Is it perfect? No but its a whole lot better than the US. We Canucks just need to keep fighting for improvements and it isnt an American model for most of them. \nWe had always planned to take holidays and see various parts of the US. No more. The lack of gun laws is really scary, especially when combined with hate. We're not timid travellers. \n\nMove there... maybe California .
