I know a lot of immigrants, mostly latinos but many asians etc, and i think it is a myth that they all vote Liberal ... federally i mean ... we're on the wet coast here, i think i relate above how we had a Cinco de Mayo celebration and all males present were going to vote Liberal provincially, which is pretty much like Reform or whatever federally ... another myth - this idea that immigrants are a net drain on the tax/welfare system ... friend of mine from Monterrey originally can get quite vocal on debunking this - 'look around you, look at what these people do, look at what they pay in, what they draw out' ... [this at our 16 september celebration last month] [and we do have one single mother on welfare, whose born-canehjun PoS of a 'husband' shames all males while she is one of the finest canadians i know - newly documented, so friggin what, she is going to pay a lot of taxes real soon, genuine entrepreneurial personality] ... if the inmigrants i know are representative this nation is better off for welcoming them ... much better off - the more mexicanos you have the more you bring up your work-ethic and family-values averages

You have to pick them carefully of course ... and admittedly, the people i know are probably not representative, they're heavy to the latino component ... there are new latinos i don't know, from personal choice, that must be said ... but not so many, probably less than in an average born-canehjun slice of population ..... and of some classes of asians, or of middle-eastern etc, i am quite ignorant ... overall however i think the principle of welcoming inmigrants invigourates the country, it just has to be controlled rationally, and yes definitely cull the terrorist scum .... cheers
