History. Jews always need to be thinking of the next place to go. How about Canada?

Canada is cutting back on immigration. People who are already here may not get their PR status.

Thanks MAGA cult of can not do math, understand econ or live in reality. This is your fault don't you dare complain about how the economy is going to tank to the likes of the great depression, food scarcity is coming and healthcare and jobs will be destroyed by 2026. It is all your fault 100%

While you may be right, blame the democrats for destroying education in the US and then allowing US corporations that US graduates are not qualified to work in tech and other fields. (Dismantling DoEd is a different issue and doesn’t explain why schools are not preparing students from childhood to young adulthood.)

Work visas are also supported by Rs. https://migrantinsider.com/p/lawmakers-urge-state-department-to

NAFTA was started by Reagan. https://www.heritage.org/trade/report/the-north-american-free-trade-agreement-ronald-reagans-vision-realized

Bush Jr started No Child Left Behind. https://www.edweek.org/policy-politics/no-child-left-behind-an-overview/2015/04

Nixon started the EPA. https://19january2017snapshot.epa.gov/history/origins-epa_.html

Reagan and Bush both provided amnesty. https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/fact-sheet/reagan-bush-family-fairness-chronological-history/

Now we have MAGAs who:

1. don't want any foreign workers because they think Americans will fill all those jobs, including the harsh farm jobs
2. want isolationism and hate free trade
3. hate higher ed and want everyone to be blue collar workers
4. deny climate change and want to rape the land
5. want to deport even law abiding visa holders because they think, again, America is for Americans (mostly white), and medicaid recipients should be able to do the jobs that foreigners and other Americans don't want to do

Not to mention that Rs just ballooned the deficit to an all time high, on the backs of the poorest of the poor.

I left the R party during the debacle of the Iraq war, but I don't even recognize this party anymore.

Dem president's have deported more than Republican ones

We just got back from visiting friends working in Japan. Kyoto, Osaka, and Tokyo all had considerably less costly drinks, restaurants, groceries, train tickets, site admissions, etc. than in DC and other cities here in America.

We were getting three course meals for lunch in a Saturday in Tokyo for $12 all in.

The Japanese yen is at an all-time low against the USD,so it was cheap for you. Now compare those costs to a typical Japanese salary.

No it wasn’t. And isn’t

To live what used to be a middle class lifestyle 20 years ago you need to make at least $250k now. The cities look like garbage and almost everywhere looks the same with the same stop mall stores. People are becoming angrier and more aggressive and I’ve never seen so many homeless people begging in my life. The birth rate in the us is plummeting. That’s not a sign of a healthy society. People aren’t having kids because it will financially crush them. The us is on track to make the movie idiocracy a reality.

Well, it’s mostly due to how they count “deportations”, and they certainly let a ton more in though.

They stopped recruiting or hiring highly skilled migrants in 2023. Ask me how my Toronto headhunter and I found out mid-process.
