MY OPINION ON IMMIGRATION AND REFUGEES
Look around you. If not all, almost everyone is a descendant of an immigrant or a refugee. Provided that this is true, then why is it that so many people are still hesitant and unaccepting of these newcomers? Canada is recognized as one of the most diverse countries, and this reputation would not be possible if we closed our borders and stopped our friendly welcomes. We are capable of helping others. As the second largest country in the world, our population does not come close to the ratio of its size. We have the space and resources necessary to give people a second chance, so why oppose it? With this opportunity, these immigrants and refugees will work extremely hard to make something out of themselves. They migrate with the goal to live a better life, and this determination is what pushes them to achieve what they strive for. They're more likely to start their own businesses or even work the smaller jobs that go unnoticed, but either way, this is going to help our economy prosper. Immigrants and refugees are hard working, responsible people just like anybody else, and they play a huge role in making Canada the remarkable country that it is. This is applicable to many other countries worldwide as well; if you are able to help, you should not be holding back. Everyone needs to start somewhere, and these welcoming countries can give them the foundation that they need to build themselves up.
