Do you seriously think that white Canadian born citizens never rape or murder? Hello - does the name David Snow ring any bells? Clifford Olson? Robert Picton? Russell Davies?
Did I say white Canadians don't somewhere? No? Oh, well, then I guess I can respond with something equally asinine?
There's nothing wrong with wanting immigrants to Canada to respect Canadian laws / systems / culture. And to leave their stupid baggage back in their home country. Having a vetting system / screens in place to try and ensure that's the case is not a bad thing, even if there are already issues in the country.
Oh, right, the asinine part -- I guess you're the sort of person who's totally cool with letting ISIS people, people who kept slaves and murdered folks for religious reasons, come back to Canada like no big deal. You seem keen to allow every murderer there is in, and to give em free tax-payer funded health care etc. No, wait, you likely aren't that much of an idiot, and it isn't hard to imagine that you aren't, but by god let's make sure we take the most extreme dumbarse perspective possible online!
Did I say I was keen to allow ISIS people who keep slaves and murder for religious reasons to come in? No, I did not. You specifically mentioned rape and murder of children, which immigrants are not any more likely than Canadians to do. You seem to be a very frightened little man, scared of anyone the least bit different.
Holy hell you have the reading comprehension of a gnat. I used that example specifically to highlight how YOU were bringing in shit that wasn't stated in the post, ie "White people commit crimes too, don't you realise that?". Like no shit sherlock, both of us can play the "lets ignore the other persons actual comments and draw absurd conclusions based on totally unrelated biases and then lob some personal attacks against them" game.
Go read a book.
