Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Canada has much stricter immigration than the US. You may want to find a better example
No, not anymore, not for Hindus. 2 million in two years is a verifiable number.
Yes it still is, we use a point system
Having a job we want already lined up (health care) and being single in your late 20s/early 30s gives you your best chance. The country you’re from also plays into your score
You were probably listening to our Conservative Party leader because he was promising to cut the Liberal red tape that was keeping immigrants out back in 22 but he’s not in charge

(Looks at immigration numbers) yeah, whatever. What it says on paper isn't what's happening in practise. Remember near the end of Covid where suddenly the Canadian government decided truckers from both nations suddenly weren't essential workers and that caused the convoy and all that? Well if they had actually tried the border as a trucker, they'd have found these rules were not being enforced. I was never once asked for any of that vaccine proof, didn't have it anyways. Arrive can yes. I would have been required to quarantine if I crossed in a car, but not in my semi. I wasn't vaccinated cause I already had had covid, if that's not enough of a vaccine nothing is.
