As an immigrant I highly agree…IF YOU CAME TO ANOTHER COUNTRY FOR A BETTER AND PEACEFUL LIFE YOU SHOULD EMIGRATE, RESPECT AND BECOME PART OF THAT COUNTRYS’ CULTURE AND NOT TRY TO DESTROY IT. Cause I’m sure that tourist who visit certain countries are expected to do the same . For example if I wanted to travel to a Middle Eastern Country I would have to wear a Burka or another form of head covering even though that’s not what I’m use to. So yea…If you can’t respect Canada for its culture STAY IN YOUR COUNTRY OF BIRTH AND STOP TRYING TO CONFORM CANADA INTO SUCH.
Appeals to fairness and reciprocal respect for host country culture; immigrant perspective arguing that newcomers have ethical obligation to assimilate and respect Canadian values.

If you are an immigrant and you consciously decide to break the law, then you should be deported. If your family has issues with that decision, then you can go with them. If I were to break the law in another country, they wouldn’t hesitate to ship me back to where I came from. Just to be clear, I’m not conservative. In my eyes there is more to loose going that route. I feel I’m far more productive to put pressure on my representatives than to vote conservative and become the 51st state. Besides, their whining irritates me.
Appeals to fairness and equal treatment under law while articulating a principled stance on immigrant deportation for criminal conduct.

Omg...what a Freudian slip...getting Mike Spence's name mixed up with JD Vance...one was brave in the face of evil who wouldn't cave into bullying to accept an undeserved victory...the other is a boot-licking, ring-kissing pathetic excuse for a man who even when his Indian-born wife and half-Indian kids were subjected to rank racism...did absolutely nothing...privately Mrs Vance & her side of the family .. had to have been so let down when there was no push back from the VP.

I feel sympathetic but this is God’s judgement for allowing all kind of depravity to be legalized in your country. God always, always give you over to evil men.
