Some Americans are ready to attempt to move to Canada, apparently more afraid of Syrian refugees than socialist single-payer healthcare. Surprise! They’ll have only a few weeks until Canada accepts even more than what the US has promised to settle, so maybe it’s time to stick around and learn Spanish, eh?
US GOP governors have threatened to refuse settlement to Syrian refugees implying that interstate border controls might be erected, but those pronouncements may be as viable as the actual emigration process necessary for the Tweet-Courageous to move to Canada.
Some Americans have taken to Twitter and threatened to move to Canada if the U.S. welcomes Syrian refugees. Perhaps they haven't been paying attention to news north of the border.
Justin Trudeau's campaign pledge to resettle refugees in Canada helped sweep him into the prime minister's office last month. His new government is adamant it will go through with an ambitious plan to bring in 25,000 Syrian refugees before the end of the year — just six weeks away…
As for the Americans who hope to move to Canada, they'll find it's not so easy: The bar for legal immigration is high. And they certainly would not qualify for asylum.
Have “they” already come over the border or
are they “home-grown”
ANTLER, N.D. (CBSNewYork) — A white supremacist is trying to establish an enclave in North Dakota, and he wants to name it after Donald Trump.
Craig Cobb wants to rename Antler, a city of 20-something people near the Canadian border, either “Trump Creativity” or “Creativity Trump,” the Grand Forks Herald reported.
Cobb, reportedly a hate crimes fugitive from Canada, said he bought $10,000 worth of property in the center of Antler ND, where he planned to convert an old bank into a Creativity Movement church and allow his followers to start a community.
The city then swooped in with a better offer for the seller.
Cobb insisted to the Grand Forks Herald that his community would not exclude nonwhites. But when asked if he would welcome black people, he answered: “‘Welcome’ is a strong word.”
Cobb also launched a failed bid to take over the tiny city of Leith, North Dakota, in 2013
