This peace only serves to to perpetuate the myths both pro and con immigration. First the real reason we take in 250,000 immigrants a year is not because we are kind, generous and tolerant people it because we do not have enough babies to keep our population growing and if we stop taking in immigrants our population would begin to fall and our economy would collapse. If the population starts to fall the value of everyone's  house would start to fall to the point that you would not be able to give it away because there would be 2 or 3 empty ones on the street. Second the reason so few immigrants come from Europe is because the 2nd World War and the Potato Famine was a long time ago. I have been to Italy, Germany and Ireland it's really nice there they just not going to come in the numbers they once did. So we are not going to limit immigration or get them from Europe (fine with me) In fact we are probably going to  increase it and any politician  that tells you otherwise is lying to you
