Illegal immigration: much ado 'aboot' nothing
Tyler Vogler
Issue date: 1/28/09 Section: Opinion


I agree with my colleague, Nick Maurus (see Monday, Jan. 26 editorial of the Western Courier). We are in the midst of an invasion. America, our beautiful country built on freedom, liberty, tolerance and acceptance, is under siege.

With so much attention unfairly focused on America's southern border, I believe it is important to shift focus to the north.

No one knows exactly how many illegal Canadian immigrants are living within our borders. It is safe to assume the numbers are in the tens of hundreds.

The illegal Canadians are a drain on our resources. They do not pay taxes, but drive on our roads, rent our library books and take advantage of our obviously superior, non-universal, privatized healthcare.

The illegal Canadians are more dangerous than their Mexican counterparts because illegal Canadians take jobs Americans actually want. They are stealing wages from Joe the Plumber.

Look at the statistics: one industry hit especially hard by Canadian immigration is American radio. American-born recording artists have been forced out of the business by the likes of Celine Dion, Shania Twain and Avril Lavigne.

They are living among us. They could be your coworker, your roommate, your grandmother - anyone. Beware, Macomb citizens, because they have invaded the small towns, too! Their ease of assimilation makes them an even greater threat to the fabric of our American culture.

That being said, there are a few ways to spot an illegal Canadian. You must be smart and vigilant to protect against the Maple Leaf.

Most illegal Canadians use their native dialect and refuse to speak decent, understandable American like the rest of us. Be mindful of the accent. One of the easiest ways to spot it is the telltale "about," which becomes "aboot." Think Sarah Palin, only less patriotic. In addition, most illegal Canadians have been noted to use a colloquial phrase "eh," at the end of their sentences.

Illegal Canadians also have been known to have a fond love of hockey instead of American sports like baseball and soccer.

Most dangerous of all is Canada's potential destructive effect on the conservative, Christian values that America stands for. Canada is notoriously liberal, being home to countless Vietnam draft dodgers. They have socialized medicine. Some of them have even been known to speak French! I won't even start about their bizarre custom of pairing french fries with white vinegar.

The problem of Canadian illegal immigration is difficult to solve. Hopefully, President Obama can form some kind of task force to develop tests to identify Canadians from Americans. He should also author strict deportation laws to ensure that no illegal Canadian criminals are left inside our borders.

In fact, there may be only one sure way to fix the problem of Canadian illegal immigration: construct a giant concrete fence spanning the width of the American-Canadian border. Unfortunately, Alaska (and Sarah Palin, as well) must be let go, because their separation from the Union is an extreme vulnerability. America will always consider our Alaskans silent heroes of the cause.

I have faith that President Obama's administration will keep the problem of illegal immigration high on his task list and, in time, our country will develop a solution to handle the problem.

Until then, be alert and be aware, eh.

Tyler Vogler is an idiot.

While we do have an illegal immigration problem with our Northern border, we do not have 4-6 thousand rushing across that border each and every night!

There's nothing worse than an idiot that thinks he's being funny.

Sorry this sounds like BS to me

Seriously what kind of an article is this? Americans are escaping the United States and going to Canada and other areas (LEGALLY)

so this stupid idiot mentions three canadian singers who are making americans stop singing??
surely he is JOKING because that is a stupid comment

Okay, I have to agree with everyone else, this guy Tyler, is a complete idiot. I had to read his blog twice to see if he was joking or not, and i asume he was not. So first off how could anyone believe that the American healthcare system is better than the Canadian healthcare system? Do you even KNOW what Universal Healthcare is??? Also, how can 3 horrible, past there prime Canadian pop singers have ANY effect on the American economy or even the American music economy? That makes NO sense, especially considering in Canada only 30% of what is played on radio or tv is actually Canadian content, the other 70% is American music, so if anything, American music has ruined the Canadian music economy. LOOK IT UP, DO SOME RESEARCH! Also, yes Canadians do speak French, but what the hell does that have to do with anything? How many different languages are spoken in America by AMERICAN CITIZENS? Probably more than two. And white vinegar on French Fries? Is that supposed to be a strong argument or a joke? I believe that custom was originated in England! Canadians DON'T pronounce 'about' as 'aboot', where are you getting your facts? From the South Park movie? Also, if they are SOOO Liberal, why the hell is the Prime Minister a part of the Conservative Party? AGAIN, DO SOME RESEARCH before running your mouth. You are the reason Americans are labeled as "Dumb Redneck Americans". I personally don't believe that Americans are dumb rednecks, but you sure are the mold for that stereotype. Also, I am pretty sure Soccer is NOT an American sport!
I think President Obama should build a concrete wall around YOUR house to save themselves from your stupidity! And you blame CANADA for people dodging the Vietnam Draft??? I think that that is America's fault not Canada's!
Anyways, you are an idiot, do some research!

And yes I AM Canadian!

oldsoul welcome to Alipac

Welcome to Alipac oldsoul. I had to read it about 3 times before I posted it. Sometimes you have illustrate the mentality of the opposition and this article was one of the times.

I think this guy is just being tongue-in-cheek. I don't think he believes anything he is saying. He is obviously for the illegal invasion of the U.S by Mexico, and is trying to accuse us of not making the same arguments about the northern border.

If we are ever invaded by Canada in the same numbers, with the same kinds of ethnocentric entitlements and attempts to dramatically alter our culture, we will say the same things. Why do I think we won't be saying those things about the northern border anytime soon?
