CLOSE BORDER TO REFUGEES

I saw Lloyd Axworthy interviewed and he said there are 60 million refugees looking for a country to emigrate to. Not likely all Muslims, still, once you start, where do you stop, b/c that would be discrimination.

I'm just considering the logistics of letting in only women and children. Coming from a province where men outnumber women, it sounds like a great plan. But on the other end, I would assume it is much easier to recruit a young single man, mad at the world because he can't find a lady, especially when you promise him virgins in heaven. Take away a disproportionate # of women, and make that problem worse, no?

Considering the way women are treated, it is unlikely that they will be educated or have and career skills, so we would likely be condemning them to live on social assistance with no one to support them.

The outcomes of raising children without a father are well documented, and not good.

I am told some families that come here as intact families don't stay intact and they quickly learn that if they call Social Services and say their husband has left them with several children, their payments skyrocket. It is very difficult to confirm or reject their claims.

25000 Refugee only costs the tax payer 1.2 billion. Your Federal Government requested that anyone who has nice accommodations that are free or cheap please give them to our new refugees. Here is where I am coming from - all those that think this is a great idea - are you providing a home for these new refugees. Honestly what are their chances of success, never seen winter, no money; no education; no English and they are coming from what I assume has been 2 to 4 years of hell. What percentage of them become productive members here 5%, 25%, 50%... I am very fortunate I make small tax deductible donations to charities because I hate saying no... But when I see someone who needs a break to get ahead and I believe it will truly help then I am willing to step up...
