Has anyone thought about seriously illegally immigrating to Canada?

[Ginto]

I'm considering it.

[Brickbat]

1. ROFLMAO.

Knock yourself out.

[Ginto]

3. Why is it so funny?

?

[Brickbat]

11. You say it would be worth it.

Why not explain why. After all, if you've "seriously" considered it, let's hear your plan.

[Ginto]

27. No plan.

And my rational side will probably override my impetuous side. But I wonder why Mexicans have the guts to try to brave crossing the border for a better life, but Americans do not. Sometimes I really do think that we're just too fat, lazy, and stupid(content to be ruled).

[Brickbat]

28. I really doubt that your circumstances are comparable to the majority of people who come to the U.S.

from Mexico looking for work.

I could be wrong, though. :shrug:

[Codeine]

35. If you want to know why Mexicans illegally enter the US but we don't illegally enter Canada

go be poor in Mexico for a while. You could do with some perspective, I think.

[blondeatlast]

43. +1 and then some. nt

[End Of The Road]

2. Illegally? Good luck - you'll need it.

Too cold for me.

[Ginto]

4. Too cold for me too, but may be worth it. nt

[FSogol]

5. Screw that, let the Freepers leave.

[lpbk2713]

6. Too cold for me.

If I were to emigrate I would choose Andalucia (Spain).

[arcane1]

7. What on Earth for?

:shrug:

[Hawkowl]

8. Legally, yes.

Illegally, what would be the point? Go talk to a Canadian consultate about rules and requirements. There generally is a labor shortage up in the far north and west.

[End Of The Road]

14. We can all get jobs as Ice Road Truckers!! nt

[Smarmie Doofus]

9. Too cold. I'm semi-seriously considering transplanting to western Europe...

... whan I retire.

Depends on the $$ involved. Right now... Ireland , among other places, is looking good to someone with a fixed ( US-based ) income.

But what if the corporatists decide to raid public employee pensions not to mention SS?


Lots of variables here.

[slackmaster]

10. I think we should annex the southern part of Canada up to the southern tip of Alaska

Fifty-four forty or fight.

[marmar]

19. I think Canada should annex the border states....The sanity is on the other side of the border.

[RC]

32. I can go for that.

Won't need my passport to go to Winnipeg for some culture. This republican state sure has a shortage.

[Canuckistanian]

34. People from ND go to Winnipeg for CULTURE?

Wow. :rofl:

[RC]

36. I used to know someone up there.

Spend the weekends at her 'hoooose' She went to university too. Her friends had cottages we went to in the summer.
What was missing were the billboards. Much easier to get lost up there.










I miss Canada. The people were more laid back, grounded in reality. Sensible.

[Canuckistanian]

49. That second pic is VERY familiar.

It's from the little town of Perth, Ontario, near where I live. I've photographed that very same building several times.

[bluedigger]

69. You've never been to North Dakota, have you?

Me either.:rofl:

[tanyev]

12. I thank my lucky stars every day that I am married to a Canadian citizen.

We may just end up there.

[Barack_America]

13. My husband is Canadian, so yes, we have seriously considered it.

But it has more to do with getting away from this country's media and intolerance than the results of any election.

[Lil Missy]

15. No.

[uncle ray]

16. no, i plan on doing it in the most humorous legal way possible.

i'm seriously considering not doing it.

[Ted_White]

17. I think the Northeast, the West Coast, and Great Lakes region should

secede and merge with Canada. Maybe take a few other states, but leave TX and the Southeast for the Cons.

[Barack_America]

20. The old "United States of Canada" vs. "Jesusland" distinction?

[HughMoran]

18. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Every election without fail

:rofl:

I see somebody even rec'd it :rofl:

[dionysus]

21. .

:spray:

[Edweird]

22. Those mean facist racist Canadians actually ENFORCE their immigration laws.

I'm working on emigrating legally.

[kath]

39. enforcing immigration laws - what a concept!

The Europeans enforce theirs too.

[Edweird]

41. Blue collar jobs that pay a living wage and healthcare! The horror!

[Megahurtz]

53. Enforcing Immigration Laws - Yes, What a Concept!

Every single country other than the U.S. enforces their own Immigration Laws. Even Mexico!

:crazy:

[AnArmyVeteran]

23. If you do it I know of a secret underground network to sneak you in.

I have contacts. Btw, can you pronounce 'house' like 'hoooose'? It will make it easier.

[SidDithers]

42. If you say "hoooose" and "abooot"...

Canadians will know you're an American pretending to be a Canadian :)

Sid

[and-justice-for-all]

24. I have thought about immigrating to Germany..nt

[mstinamotorcity]

25. Don't leave Get some popcorn

Cause when dem Patriots find out what their leaders are doing,it won't be nice.And trust me they are going to find out. We will make sure of that!!!!! Then watch the fireworks!!!!!! When they need our help.....Well, I like butter on my popcorn!!!!:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[lumberjack_jeff]

26. My mom was a Canadian citizen.

I am therefore a Canadian citizen, but alas my kids are not.

I have to prove it though. Getting a copy of her birth certificate is surprisingly difficult.

[MilesColtrane]

57. "Getting a copy of her birth certificate is surprisingly difficult."

Are you sure she's not from Kenya?

[lumberjack_jeff]

62. LOL, pretty sure. n/t

[RadicalTexan]

29. Yes, but I don't have any savings because I am a debt slave to student loans

It's all SO IRONIC.

[Mkap]

30. Move here

Hey you can always moved to Northern Ohio. We re-elected both Betty Sutton and Dennis Kuicinch, we are the only patch of Blue in a mostly Red mid west. Cleveland still Rocks even without Lebron!!

[tech9413]

31. Not since 1970

I was considering joining my ex-BIL in Saskatchewan. My # in the draft lottery was 7 and I just really didn't want to play that game. Fortunately they killed the draft shortly after that.

[treestar]

33. No

do you meet the qualifications under their laws?

And some Canadians have told me they have conservatives, too. Fancy that.

[ProudDad]

37. Not Canada...too cold ... But a great health care system... (n/t)

[Renew Deal]

38. Bye

:hi:

[Warren DeMontague]

40. Thank you for your concern.

Welcome to DU.

[blondeatlast]

44. You just go right ahead; I hope your entrance is more graceful

than your entrance to DU.

[socialshockwave]

45. You'd all

Be welcome here. Trust me, Canadian progressives such as I are as sad as you lot are.

I've got room on my couch. :)

[PBS Poll-435]

46. But they don't have internet or TV in Canada.

No thanks.

[Canuckistanian]

51. They say we're going to get TV next spring

After the thaw when the ground isn't frozen.

And we have special high power antennas to steal WiFi from the people in upstate New York.

[PBS Poll-435]

56. Snarff

:rofl:

:D

[JVS]

47. I only emmigrate in a silly fashion.

[blondeatlast]

48. If I go, I go for laughs. Your serious concern has been duly noted, though. nt

[Peacetrain]

50. Lord NO..they have their own right wing nut jobs..We are all in this

right wing mess together..

[raven42]

52. I mentioned in a thread a couple of days ago

that the only way I would do it is if Palin ever became president. That would be the last straw for me. I would certainly leave in that case. I'd probably return once she was gone, however.

[Naturyl]

54. No, I have ties here.

Otherwise quite possibly. But it wouldn't be Canada. Why go halfway? I'd go for the gold and head for Scandinavia.

[hughee99]

55. I believe the term is "undocumented". n/t

[MilesColtrane]

58. Not unless the U.S. starts drafting doughy, forty year olds.

[PeaceNikki]

59. Or do like the Quaids and seek asylum

Say some creeps are trying to teabag you.

[arthritisR_US]

60. can you drive a Zamboni? ;-) n/t

[OneGrassRoot]

61. "Canada Reports Huge Jump in Immigration"

;)

:hi:

http://www.borowitzreport.com/2010/11/03/canada-reports-huge-jump-in-immigration/

[lunamagica]

63. Move to FL......

What this country needs is for Democrats to move in droves here, in enough numbers to turn it blue.

Such move could still save the nation.

And it never gets too cold in here!

[KatyaR]

64. I want to immigrate to Vermont (because it would be immigration to leave Oklahoma),

but no one will adopt a 53-year-old woman...because that's the only way I could get there....

[Stevenmarc]

65. The Canadians owe us automatic citizenship after inflicting Celine Dion on us

[lunasun]

66. My hubby keeps mentioning new zealand any one know anything about that place??

I do not know where he got the idea pretty pictures somewhere I think
Canada has issues but looks better than here now
and HC do any t partiers go there for meds anymore?-used to be big thing along the border
ya hey

[StreetKnowledge]

67. How about you guys all move to a few states and then bring them into Canada.

Oh, say, CA, HI, WA, OR, MI, MN, IL, WI, FL, MA and VT. ;)

We'll be happy to have ya.

You can keep your state legislatures until the next elections, which you have to do by November 2, 2015. We'll allot you House of Commons seats based on population, with one every roughly 100,000 people. You'll be subject to legal changes to make your states compliant with Canadian laws, which include no discrimination based on race, gender, sexual orientation, national origin or anything else determined by genetics. We don't even demand that you enact single-payer healthcare systems, but without them your economies are gonna be somewhat compromised. ;)

But, as part of this, we will be requiring a few people be sent out. You know, Michelle Bachmann, Marco Rubio, the usual suspects. You are more than welcome to bring Bernie Sanders, Russ Feingold, Al Franken, Michael Moore and Alan Grayson, though. :)

[kath]

68. I posted this about obtaining Irish citizenship - once you're a citizen, you can get an Irish

passport, and having an EU passport can be a very handy thing to have.

[bluedigger]

70. And to all you "It's too cold" whiners -

Where would we be today if our guests from the south had such a piss poor attitude?

Oh. Right.

[sohndrsmith]

71. Um... no. Moving to Sweden or Canada or the US (all countries

with which I have genealogical affiliation) - are wonderful daydreams....

Oh right - the US... well... some of us are fenced in by "reservations", which the white US defines as sovereign nations, and they are, but - the whole deal is wimpy and massively unfair. The forgotten "camps" almost...

I just looked up and watched Obama talk about being beaten down. I support this man. He has the integrity all others lack.
