If you live in Canada, it is vital that you respond and speak up. You are encouraged to read a background paper on-line before answering the survey. The CIC website explains: The consultations will explore a number of issues related to three main questions: 1 What is the appropriate level of immigration for Canada? Should the number of immigrants per year change? 2 What is the appropriate distribution – or mix – between the number of economic immigrants, family class immigrants and refugees? 3 Economic immigration is recognized as a key immigration objective for Canada’s long-term economic growth. What role can immigration play to support Canada’s economy? Go on the CIC website, peruse the background report and fill in the questionnaire. We strongly urge you to recommend zero immigration for 2013. With 7.2 per cent official unemployment -- real unemployment levels are much higher as the official figure counts only those still receiving Employment Insurance benefits -- there is no justification for any immigration at all. A newcomer will do one of two things; take an existing job that should go to a Canadian, thus throwing that person on to EI or welfare, or be unable to find a job and become a charge on the Canadian taxpayer. Either way, Canada loses. The future "labour shortage" is speculative. Jobs should go to the unemployed and only when we have full employment and should there actually be a labour shortage in the future, ought there to be any consideration of further immigration intake. Canada's founding/settler people are being replaced by government policy. With present immigration levels (85 per cent from the Third World), people of European descent will be a minority by 2050. This ethnic replacement is unacceptable. One way to slow it down is to demand that, at least in this present era of high unemployment, no further immigration be considered at this time. The on-line consultation closes at the end of August.

This survey does not adequately allow us to express ourselves. With 7.2% official unemployment -- the real figures are far higher -- there should be NO immigration allowed into Canada at all. We need a five-year moratorium. Only when the vast majority of the unemployed have found work should we even consider any immigration intake. Mass immigration keeps unemployment levels high and wages low. This is a special burden on young people entering the work force. They are faced with low wages and stiff competition from newcomers. For many, these pressures and uncertainty make it difficult to set down roots and begin family formation. The billions spent on immigrant vetting, refugee processing and support and immigrant settlement programmes should be directed toward young Canadians to assist them to have more children. For instance, if women could draw the equivalent of EI until their child was in full-time classes (about age 6), there would be a strong incentive to have more children. Such incentives would also take many women out of the work force and reduce our unemployment levels. _____________________________ Unsubscribe / Change Profile: http://ymlp289.net/ugmjhqsqgsgbbqgjywgguewwmw Powered by YourMailingListProvider

 

Greece: 6,000 detained during raids on immigrants

We should round up, detain and then deport all illegals. Employers hiring illegals, an act which deprives our citizens of jobs and screws down wages, should be charged, fIned and jailed. It's time to put OUR people and OUR countries first! Paul Fromm Director CANADA FIRST IMMIGRATION REFORM COMMITTEE NICHOLAS PAPHITIS - The Associated Press ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Authorities in Greece are rounding up thousands of suspected illegal immigrants in a large-scale deportation drive to combat what a government official compared to a prehistoric invasion. Greece has long been Europe's main entry point for illegal immigrants from Asia and Africa seeking a better life in the West. But Greece's severe economic problems and high unemployment are making the problem worse than ever. Police said Monday that 6,000 people were detained over the weekend in Athens in a massive operation incongruously named after the ancient Greek god of hospitality, Zeus Xenios. Officers across the city were seen stopping mostly African and Asian people in the street for identification checks. Most were only briefly detained, but about 1,600 were arrested for illegally entering Greece and sent to holding centers pending deportation. Left-wing opposition parties criticized the crackdown, while the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees voiced concern that migrants from war-torn countries and genuine asylum-seekers could be denied the right of protection. Some 100,000 illegal immigrants are estimated to slip into Greece every year, mostly from neighboring Turkey, and up to a million are believed to live in Greece, which has an official population of about 10 million. The uncontrolled influx, which coincided with a recent spike in crime, contributed to the sharp rise of an extreme-right political party which uses aggressive rhetoric against immigrants. Once beyond the pale of Greek politics, the extreme right Golden Dawn gained nearly 7 percent of the vote in parliamentary elections six weeks ago. Mainstream parties also pledged to curtail immigrant flows. Public Order Minister Nikos Dendias said Monday the rounding-up of illegal immigrants would continue, arguing that their unchecked entry has brought Greece "to the brink of collapse." "The country is being lost," he told private Skai TV. "What is happening now is (Greece's) greatest invasion ever. Since the Dorian invasion some 3,000 years ago, the country has never received such a flow of immigration." Ancient tradition linked the invasion of Greek-speaking Dorian tribes with the end of the heroic Mycenaean age, although historians believe that the Mycenaean palatial civilization was brought down by financial and social unrest. Dendias said arrested immigrants will be temporarily held at police academy buildings in northern Greece, which are closed for the summer, and at a detention center outside Athens. He claimed that by the end of the year Greece will be able to detain up to 10,000 people. "Whoever is arrested will be held and then deported," he said. The Greek office of the U.N. High Commission for refugees said that while Greece has the right to carry out checks on immigrants, it should ensure that vulnerable groups do not suffer. "People who truly need protection must be able to request it," said Petros Mastakas, associate protection officer at the UNHCR office in Athens. "It is very difficult, practically impossible, for asylum seekers to apply for protected status, and we are concerned that among those arrested there may be people who want protection but were unable to submit their requests because access to the relevant authorities is practically impossible," he said. http://home.core.com/home/article.php?category=breaking&article=17534292aee440dba0e6de1636a6be7a ( http://home.core.com/home/article.php?category=breaking&article=17534292aee440dba0e6de1636a6be7a ) _____________________________ Unsubscribe / Change Profile: http://ymlp289.net/ugmjhqsqgsgbbqgjyhgguewwmw Powered by YourMailingListProvider
