Exactly the people I thought would chirp up and precisely the type of responses/comments I thought I'd get. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
The fact that some people do not possess the intellectual capacity to understand that a person can be a conservative, yet socially accepting and tolerant (not a ignorant bigot), shouldn't surprise me.
The bottom line is this (migration) isn't something that I am pleased is happening. But if those people who are seeking refuge in Canada, who are determined, after proper vetting, as prescribed under our laws, and subsequently are accepted into Canada, then what can we do except try our best to help them become the Canadians just like us. I bet most of us not more than a few generations removed from being immigrants ourselves.
