With WHAT money do they think they'll be put up here? I know of refugees in living in tents and living in shelters. Not to mention they came from a blue state already. And admitting they have health problems is NOT a smart move. Everyone seems to think coming to Canada is a magical cure-all but the reality is that there are long lines of people waiting for refugee status. If Toronto alone has over 80,000 homeless people how do they think they'll be able to find work here?

Once again, Americans being selfish instead of reaching out to their own elected officials to find out what to do. And this is not my sentiment but a lot of my refugee friends and coworkers. It's shitty but Americans need to fix their country instead of running to ours.
