Hopefully they don't make it here and make Toronto another LA. Canadians are very nice and forgiving but we cannot take a load of illegals and
support them, we are having a hard time supporting the legals. We pay alot of taxes already.
Most Canadians agree that immigration reform is necessary and overdue. Canada has long had an “open door” policy to foreign refugees and is now considered home to many who are seeking a safe haven. While many of these immigrants are considered beneficial to the Canadian society, the increasing number of immigrants on the country’s waiting list is becoming a problem.
Special interest groups such as the Immigration Bar have long been known to fight against immigration reform and even support extreme cases and abuses of current law. These groups have shown that they are willing to do whatever it takes to accuse Ottawa’s conservatives of racism and bigotry in order to force their own ideology and practices on others. Canada is facing a similar scenario as the United States in dealing with immigration reform and should look to southern states such as Arizona when reforming law.
Most immigrants enter Canada’s borders legally and are valuable assets to the country. They provide excellent work and are capable of bringing in new ideas and innovations. Recent signs, however, point to a large number of immigrants entering the country illegally and creating a poor reputation for all foreign immigrants.

Okay, I worked for Honeywell Global Businesses for 7 years in the US, and my job was moved to Canada. Does that qualify me? They didn't offer any of us a relocate!
Edit to add:
And my job was in finance!
