You mentioned Canada as doing as well as the States, without doing
it on the backs of anybody.  As a history major, let me set some
facts straight about Canada.
Until only 30 years ago, Canada was a racist country when it cames
to immigration policy. We let in any group which could "help"
our economy in farming or building railroads. But if those groups
took manufacturing jobs away from the Anglo-Saxon peoples, did they
ever get some bad print! 
Also, for you of the Irish descent; people, because of the famine,
were kicked out of Ireland, brought over on disease-infested ships,
and dumped into Canada, with no land available and no jobs.
The Irish were left to build the canals, with abysmal wages and
high prices, plus an often large family to feed.
  

Sincerely yours,
