That’s fair. No one has opened your border to every Tom, Dick and Harry that seeks a new and government-funded life through pretentiously claiming amnesty from persecution.
Michele, your fear of attack has nothing to do with immigration, illegal or legal. The violent crime rate among immigrants, again illegal or legal, is much lower than it is among natural born Americans.
No to Cascadia. The idea has been on the front page of the Vancouver Sun.
Oregon has its problems but Portland is in no way a war zone. Ppl go on vacations to Oregon.
No.
Crime is rising in America.
I used to live in the Newton section of Surrey for 8 years as you know. Spirit FM 2 blocks away from my old apt was shot at 3 times late at night a few days ago. The Conservative Party leader mentioned it in the HOC. Surrey BC has 50 extortions incidents this year that never used to happen.
Jeremy Nathan Dyck the Haney HA cocaine dealer threatened me with black brass knuckles in front of 6 ppl including 2 on duty BSL security guards. Another occasion he threatened me with a baseball bat. Both incidents happened behind King’s Cross Mall.
The murder of Lisa Baines in the building next to mine in Newton made the front page of the Vancouver Sun it is unsolved. She was shot dead. Jeremy Nathan Dyck bragged about having a gun he lived in the same building as her and both were regulars at Kelly’s Pub where Jeremy sold cocaine and his HA buddy Jason sold LSD and stolen property. Darren Chow the manager was HA.
Live in fear of attack uhh no but I am well aware of how violent it can be. High school buddy Byron Perry his brother in law was killed. The guy who did it owed him money said it was self defence put the body in a car trunk on E . Marine Dr. It was there for months yet no one noticed the smell? Azim Begg from McNair was shot dead in 1992 it is unsolved.
Since the Tories left power in 2015 crime is up. That horrific car attack at the Lapu Lapu festival in Vancouver this year 11 dead and 21 injured stuff like that is pretty new to Canada.
If it’s not a war zone, why is Trump calling up 400 troops to Portland and Illinois?
I know, I’ve read this all before. Nobody in the western world outside the USA lives in “fear of attack”. That is unique to our country among developed nations.
Because he’s a fat orange lunatic.
While that is true, it is not the point at hand. The point at hand is that, according to every stat available, if you had more illegal immigrants, your crime rate would go down.
Not if crossing the border is a crime.

Coming to a country illegally is itself a crime.
True, but we know Reg wasn’t counting that part.
Correct, because to me it is at most a misdemeanour. Either way, my statement is true even by your (silly) standard with just one word inserted.
According to every stat available, if you had more illegal immigrants, your violent crime rate would go down.
By your semantics, if the population of illegals equaled the U.S. population of citizens crime would go down, but, by my silly standard, we would then have twice as much crime.
Michele, a violent crime rate is per capita.

Those 7 people charged in Surrey BC for firing guns and arson all in incidents involving extortion what is their immigration status? All are Indo’s.
Correct.
I don’t know their immigration status but since Canada has almost no illegal immigration, I’d assume they are here legally. I am in favour of stopping all immigration from India, but until that’s done, and assuming they are here legally, there’s nothing we can do. This is why we need to stop Indian immigration to Canada.
What is the rate per capita?

Here’s what the credible studies say:
- In Texas (2012–2018), undocumented immigrants had substantially lower felony arrest rates (including violent crimes) than native-born citizens. Office of Justice Programs+2migrationpolicy.org+2
- In that same Texas dataset, U.S.-born citizens were over twice as likely to be arrested for violent crimes compared to undocumented immigrants. Office of Justice Programs
- A study of criminal conviction rates in Texas found:
• Illegal immigrants: ~ 782 convictions per 100,000
• Native-born Americans: ~ 1,422 per 100,000 Cato Institute - In California, foreign-born adults have lower incarceration rates: 297 per 100,000 vs 813 per 100,000 for U.S.-born adults. Public Policy Institute of California
Conclusion: The best evidence suggests that illegal or undocumented immigrants commit violent crimes at lower rates than native-born Americans, at least in jurisdictions where data allows that comparison.
