fair lol. gotta know the right people I guess to get advice on that. my thinking was that immigration "crimes" are not really the same as other crimes (in some countries at least). Pursued by different authorities, openly tolerated by most people, etc.
Like i said, Canadians view immigrants as the root of all ills. They super will not be chill if they learn you're an illegal immigrant regardless of race
I find that the racist shitbags tend to be the loudest. I don't think that most Canadians feel this way, we just hear the bigots most frequently because they won't shut the fuck up for five god damned minutes.
But you are correct, immigrants have been scapegoated a lot. Apparently the fact that the Canadian government hasn't been funding social services enough for decades is their fault.
I live in a racist small town so it's good to hear not everyone is like that lmao
