Probably with your concern for not just the thousands of desperate people with applications in progress, but also for the millions around the world facing truly horrific abuses and deadly circumstances, you will support an expansion and escalation of Canada's refugee program so that we can both deal with those that are here, and expedite the safe transport of those from around the globe most in need of sanctuary. 

Canada is a huge country that needs to invest in people in order to grow and develop. We can only benefit from our investment in these people, as we have from past investments in waves of immigrants.

Many people claim that past immigrants never got any support or help, but a great many got land grants, or subsidized land for their troubles. We don't have land to give away anymore, but we should recognize the importance of augmenting our population with good people and families from around the world.

(by the way I have no idea why your previous comment was deemed uncivil)
