Canada is only 2% Hispanic while the US is 18% (it was only 6.5% during the 80s, that is a nearly 300% growth in population) few know this fact-- Canada does not take in almost any south and Central Americans. (why should they have that luxury, while the world leans on us?)
Canada's leadership's attitude is they can point their fingers at us, saying "take more in" while they hypocritically take in virtually none. Their justification is that we are "the first country they arrived to" so we should take them. That is flimsy at best.
We should lean on Canada to take in their "fair share" of central and south Americans. if they say yes, they reduce the burden upon us. if they refuse, it will be known throughout the world, thus making it easier for us to say no as well.
I think this would be a very good strategy in helping us reduce the pressure on our country to take in immigrants from these countries.
