Immigration Levels: Hard Thinking

Immigration Dept: There are increasing signs that hard thinking is beginning to play out in Canada, which has the highest immigration rate per capita in the world - and which is now, along with the rest of the globe, undergoing financial strains, according to Vancouver Sun. But signs of wariness are appearing. A recent Nanos poll found four out of five Canadians either want immigration levels to stay the same or decrease and the common wisdom, from Italy to the United States, is that resistance to immigration magnifies in direct correlation to how much a country's citizens struggle economically. Polls have long shown that Canadians, more than residents of any other country, believe that high immigration is "good for the economy." (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
