Well, the desperate [eg in the opening post] dont really care whether its Canada or the USA they end up, as long as they get out of where they are.
I remember seeing on some border billboards between Mexico and the US which state "Dont try to cross, its not worth your life". I remember thinking that that reflected how little understanding there was of the desperation involved in illegal immigration.

Originally posted by wolfgang59If my memory serves, the amount of syrians fleeing the fighting into Lebanon almost doubled it's population. Gonna have to work hard to beat that. Also, did you rule out Mexicans in your figures? I mean, most of the south west was a Land grab form Mexico so can you really call them immigrants?
Can you give per capita examples?

Because that is what I politely asked for.
How is that relevant by the way. Per capita data is not always important in every discussion. I lived and worked in the Cayman Islands for some time and I remember the population there was roughly half expats and half locals. The Govt could mistakenly be the viewed as the most tolerant govts re immigration policy [due to the very high immigrant ratio] but they dont like foreigners and make every effort to keep them at bay rather that allow them to settle down in their country. I remember there was one 'law' which banned expats from fishing. Only locals were allowed that privilege.
