      I am the descendant of immigrants.

      Where would I be sent if deported?

      I only have one citizenship.

        Being a citizen does not make you any less of an immigrant. Being a descendant of immigrants also, surprisingly still makes you an immigrant. So perhaps we should stop talking about punishing immigrants as if it’s some new novel thing that’s causing all our ills. Immigration evidently worked for all of us, so let’s try not to sh*t all over the people that follow us. Immigration built Canada and, if you’ve noticed our birth rate over the past decade, without immigration, Canada will die. Frankly we need them more than they need us.

          Oh, so several generations of my family were born here, we don’t have a single country of origin, (even if we knew it) doesn’t make me a natural born resident of my geographic area?

          Fuck off with that racist idea.

          Edit: please point out where being born in a country makes you an immigrant there.
