If Canada isn't going down the crapper fast enough for you, move to Detroit!

We're lucky in that we have the English Channel to protect us , I don't see how illegal immigrant numbers would rise significantly as to cause concern , that doesn't mean that they aren't getting in but we don't have the problem the rest of Europe has.
I am only advocating that these claims be vetted completely before accepting them all into your country
They are , but as with any bureaucratic system the wheels turn slowly.

Who said anything about Europe"disappearing"? All I am saying is that the uncontrolled influx into England could have a devastating effect that is coming, if Miami is any indicator (and some parts of Canada now form some of the replies here). But, if you do not think it's a problem, may I ask you one important question?
Have you, personally, welcomed any of these immigrants (legal or illegal) into you own home, offering a room in the house, and money out of your pocket to care and feed them?
If not, I do not think you can adequately assess any potential impact of this influx of refugees. Once they start making the long and dangerous voyage across the channel, it is a sign that desperation is growing, and will not abate if history can be believed.
This has been occurring in the U.S. for at least 50 years (the modern "boat people" influx)...so I believe we have an insight that cannot be dismissed.

After seeing a recent thread regarding the increase in illegal immigrants being rescued from overloaded sinking boats in the channel, it made me think a warning is due.

To sacrifice your own space, food, money to support them without question. If your answer is no, or is a hesitation, then that speaks volumes regarding you true feelings on the matter.
