    Greetings;

    This country Britain only wants to rule itself. Britain should exit.

    Shame on the Stock Market for re-acting this way. There is no need of it. Nothing has changed except the Brits will have their country back and they will control there own immigration policy.

    I think they should be more worried about their economy than immigration. I doubt the Kirkman family is native American...immigrant!

    Larry;

    In due time we will run Canada's immigration policy. We will tell you how many immigrants you must take in each month. Actually, Canada is a huge country. You should be able to take in 100,000 people per month. You belong to North America, South America and Central America's union so you will have no say in who we send you and how many. And, don't forget, once there they are your responsibility and you have to pay for them. I'm sure your government will have these foreigners assimilate into Canada's way of life and rules of law.

    Britain's economy will do just fine in time and if not, they will emigrate to Canada. I wish Hillary would do that.

    P.S. Did you notice the stock market south of your border today?

    Very true, and it's a shame. I hope they weather the storm and leave the EU, it would be best in the long run. This is just a typical knee-jerk market swing, it'll calm down.

    Immigration is a huge economic concern. This push for open borders strains resources to the breaking point. Not to mention the security issues, with large ethnic communities who show little to no desire to acclimate to their country of choice. If you don't want to become part of the fabric of the country you legally immigrated to, don't even bother to pack your bags. Stay in your mud hut, drink the bad water and call it good.
    By the way, if you think "native American" is synonymous with American Indians, you may want to re-think that.
    According to many anthropologists today, Indians are no more "native" than we are.
    Those dang open borders, right? :roll:

    I said their economy, not yours or ours.

    When it comes to immigration, it comes down to what kind of hats people wear. Fedoras are welcome. Turbans and Hijabs need not apply.

    When I was growing up we had all these ladies dressed from head to toe in black and wearing veils. Very strange and concerning. Turns out it was nothing more than mourning clothing worn by recent widows of Italian decent.

    Immigration has an impact on every economy. Selective immigration, based on what an individual can contribute, can be a great thing.
    Mass immigration of unskilled refugees can be an unsustainable burden, and dangerous to counter-terrorism efforts.
    I don't think it comes down to what hats they wear, more like what vests they wear. Leather and denim are good choices, as long as they don't have wires and detonators.

    Just a thought...but, let's say 100,000 italians came to Canada in the 50s. Say. 05 percent were mafia. Would that have negated the overall benefit

    Larry, Larry, Larry -

    Bad analogy - You are beginning to sound like Hillary, Obama, Kerry, Left Wing Liberals - All one would have to do is call Eliot Ness and the Untouchables and problem solved. No tanks, planes, bombs etc. just good ole Tommy Guns.

    Capt capt capt. It's a perfect analogy. There is no difference at all. A percentage of any population is bad. The majority just want to get along

    I am surprised you left out the Irish terrorists. Being a caddie on the Westside of Chicago in the 60's I can't tell you if they were in the mafia but those Italians who took to golf were great tippers. Maybe we should restrict immigration to golfers only. I bet "The Donald" could get behind that (tongue firmly in cheek).

    Sean, the Italian immigration was in my era. I'll have to leave the 30s and 40s to you. You may well be right. Maybe we limit Muslim immigration to those with a 10 handicap or better.

    The Brexit vote was a triumph of old people voting for a future the young people don't want. 75% of people under 24 years of age voted to stay.

    Much like Trump supporters, the majority of Brits voting to leave the EU were the old, uneducated, white people.

    What a creep. Typical liberal elitist. Blame it on the old white guys. They're too stupid to know what us elitist snobs know is better for them.

    Why would anyone in his or her right mind want to go along with 75% of people under age 24? If those under 24 are thinking of a future - any future - it's a personal future of free things, not what's best for the country as a whole.

    Ok so then why not phrase it as a triumph of the poor over the upper class?

    the older generation voted to put the uk into the european common market many years ago, which is not what the EU now is, so maybe they are trying to right their wrongs as england/uk was a prosperous country before the common market and we are were not whilst in the EU.
    it doesn't matter what age people are who vote as everyone is entitled to their one vote!
    people vote for what they think is right surely??

    And that has led us to a Trump/Clinton decision. (sorry just having fun with that)

    Actually in my opinion, it is the lack of voters who have led us to these choices. Especially during the most import part of the process, during the primaries, and that goes for all offices. The hard core right and left go out and vote in primaries, and choose hard core candidates that will not work with the other side to govern, and when it comes to the general, people tend to stick to their party, because there is no way they will vote for other person, (even if they are a moderate)
