363. Did you know that Canada has 200,000 illegal immigrants, but they
grant asylum to half of applicants (many of whom are from countries that aren't engaged in civil wars and are democracies) and they give out 800,000 entry visas a year, and many people, including union leaders want to legalize the 200,000 illegals.

That's almost like having no walls at all, and it's like treating wall-jumpers as having done nothing wrong.

Countries can have radically differnt perspectives on immigration than the ones expressed by Hackett and by a lot of posters here (one of whom is using the Weekly Standard to support her point of view).
