    First, aside from literal war-torn countries there’s nowhere where being homeless is a “huge upgrade” (or even a small upgrade) over not being homeless. That’s just not how that fucking works. Second, in the past (and present) poor Chinese people did in fact enter the US in large numbers looking for opportunity, and what you’re implying didn’t happen in the slightest. I’m not sure where you got this idea from, but this is completely unrealistic fearmongering.

        Uh… you think 66% of India’s population is going to pack up and move to the US? Do you seriously believe what you’re saying?

          Do we also give out pensions and free medical to everybody that comes in? Do they have to pay into the system for a period first? We can barely keep up with the people we have in Canada. Few million more and we’re swamped.
