Imigration! Why Not let Americans Do It!

[ColevilleH2S]

Hey Burbs, why did your ancestors move
to western Canada. Surely they weren't
the "greedy" moving type? Ya know, the
kind that dreams of a better life, and
does something about it.

Half the solution would never cross the 49th.

Immigration - well, the cross the border without permission type - is a bad word for US republicans on their home turf. Could you imagine the soul searching it would take for Republicans to consider working in Canada even if they came legally? A republican and an immigrant just does not roll off the tongue together, which is a surprise since were they not church conditioned to invite a stranger into their homes.

Daylate touches on it but also part of the problem in the US is that in the old heartland of industry many own thier homes and and don't want to leave them to venture off and start over in a booming area where prices are much higher.
Those are the areas that were hit hardest by sub-prime.
Much the same problem as living out on the rez. Why move when you have no payments were you are?
A society in decline?
