Carribbean/Canadian immigration...

 
Ayenmol 2019-06-27 18:44:12 

Hey El moron...knew you would show...

Caribbean Canadians based on the 2011 census:

1: Canadians of Caribbean origin belong to one of the largest non-European ethnic groups in Canada.

2: Caribbean nationals presence in Canada dates back to 1796 when a group of 556 Jamaicans arrived in Canada after an unsuccessful British attempt to enslave them in Jamaica. Between 1800 and 1920 a small number of Jamaicans and Barbadians immigrated as labourers to work in the Cape Breton and Sydney mines but immigration from the Caribbean to Canada really began in the 1960s, and by 1973 accounted for almost 13 per cent of all immigration to Canada.

3: According to data from the 2011 National Household Survey, the majority of the Caribbean population living in Canada were born outside the country and are largely concentrated in Ontario and Quebec. The vast majority of Canadians of Caribbean origin live in either Toronto or Montreal.

4: They are put at an estimated half a million or almost 2% of the total population of Canada.

5: The largest group of Canadians of Caribbean origin is Jamaicans. Of all those who reported they had Caribbean origins in 2001, 42% said they were Jamaican, while 16% were Haitian, 12% said they were West Indian, 10% were Guyanese, 10% came from Trinidad and Tobago and 5% were from Barbados.

6: The Caribbean community in Canada is relatively young. Children under the age of 15 make up some 27% of all those who reported Caribbean origin, compared with 19% of the overall population. At the same time, 17% of people of Caribbean origin were between the ages of 15 and 24, versus 13% of the overall population. The large majority of Canadians of Caribbean origin report they belong to a Christian religious group. Women make up the majority of Canadians of Caribbean origin with some 54% o compared with 51% of the overall population.

The 2000 Census results showed that over 500,000 Caribbeans are living in New York City with Jamaicans and Haitians as the largest groups. The top boroughs with heavy representation of Jamaicans are: Queens, Brooklyn, and the Bronx.

There are more Caribbean immigrants living in New York than their are in all of Canada!

There are almost as many Trinidadians living in the US than there are Caribbean migrants living in Canada.

Caribbean Governments on a whole should be forever gracious and appreciative of the US...lest we all be shipped out!

 
Ayenmol 2019-06-27 18:51:06 

No wonder some people hate the Bronx after living in Sweden...too many Island folk there...

And we are taking over also ?

Help yourself..

You comparing over 50 years of migration history with the rate that Venezuelans and others have been coming here and overstaying ? At least T&T's been receiving them with open arms and trying to regulate their status and giving them dignity..no kids in cages or kids dying at the border here..


This is where we're at as a country in 2019,this is success,at these rates we shouldn't require a US visa..it is lower than some who don't require visas..in fact over the last two decades Trinis have been selling out and returning home at a very high rate also..

The report said a total of 180,415 Trinidad and Tobago citizens visited the USA in 2018 – the number of overstays therefore represents 0.4% of the total number of Trinidadian visitors to the US

You just quick to defend with no real basis to do so....

What you are talking about is not the issue that is being addressed...

You have posted that stuff before as if it overshadows the amount of Trinidadians who actually LEGALLY calls the US home!

.in fact over the last two decades Trinis have been returning home at a very high rate also..


Are they going back to make a living or to spend and elevate you Country with their treasures from the US?

Dont be a moron.

Ayenmol 2019-06-27 19:26:47 

Also you do understand that these are census numbers and not simply an accumulative number over the lifespan of immigration?

so this statement...

You comparing over 50 years of migration history with the rate that Venezuelans and others have been coming here and overstaying ?


Is silly... you know what a census is?

 
Ayenmol 2019-06-27 19:29:45 

In reply to bravos

Over my head with what?... with your forever argument that just because less than a thousand Trinis have been documented to overstay their visas in one year (2018} it means that Trinis do not stay in the US illegally?

This is just your National pride putting the gnat before the camel!

There are close to a third of your Countries' population living in the US...And that is LEGALLY!!!!!

 
Ayenmol 2019-06-27 19:34:05 

What was the number of Venezuelans seeking reprive in Trinidad before the unrest began in their homeland?

How many Trinis would flee if the same issues plagued their homeland?

In reply to Ayenmol

You singled out T&T although not the highest group and brought the Vene comparison with your cc link ok...as to say 'what goes around comes around'...no it's different and now you unwittingly admitting it..

So don't try to twist it..Census or not West-Indians have been migrating to the US for over 50 years and a huge % of your vague census report are born Americans and people who 'identify' as West-Indians and all kinda crap..

The basis of your position is being supported by ambiguous results as fact in a very vague conclusion,typical Uncle Tom Sheep..

of course bye, you shoulda never showed up because you have no legitimate argument...

TALKING ABOUT 50 YEARS OF MIGRATION...cENCUS COUNTS THE MIGRANTS...YOU THINK THE MIGRANTS FROM 50 PLUS YEARS ARE ALL ALIVE?

You trying to retake the crown of el moron?

 
Ayenmol 2019-06-27 19:44:22 

Immigrants and their U.S.-born children now number approximately 89.4 million people, or 28 percent of the overall U.S. population, according to the 2018 Current Population Survey (CPS). Pew Research Center projects that the immigrant-origin share will rise to about 36 percent by 2065.Mar 14, 2019


Maybe now you see the difference!

 
Ayenmol 2019-06-27 19:53:42 

BTW aren't you the same person arguing how Man does not need God?

How man is figuring stuff out and will make the World a better place?

Now you crying and bawling because 40000 people came to your shores for a break from tyranny?

That's all it took for you to get your panties in a bunch...

You realize Bobbolee father came from your island.

Dont be surprised, if you and Bobolee are related.
Similar traits exist.

Bobolee noted that his father had 5 acres of land in Dominica that was overlooking the ocean but didn't want
it. It wasnt good land.

Of course I never called your name...but apparently you identify with el moron.

Live on el moron.

Go take a look at the numbers again...El moron...and share with us how the masses are choosing Canada...the masses of Caribbean folk who can't come to the US...

The majority of migrants in Canada are from the Caribbean. ..literally no one else cares!



By the way, all the time you spend in the people place and you ehh know a lick of french...go learn what ayen means and see how dopey your use of it is...

USA: 350 million

Canada: 35 million

Let us know if you think Canada can hold 350 million people.

Also, tell us why more people eat/buy McDonalds than a healthier option. Is it all so simple...like you? All that glitters...


Yep, that's why you signed your last post with your birth name.

Yes, it was during your Lebron-obessed phase.

Oh wait, that never ended.

And my point has everything to do with the discussion. Yu juss too chupidee to see it.

America is just a shiny object. West Indians love their shiny objects.

Like I said previously: All that glitters...

Take care.

Geez, did it fly over your head? The McD quip had nothing to do with population size. DWL!

And what does land mass have to do with anything. Every piece of land is livable? So you're saying Canada should have 400 mil then? Dey slacking? lol lol rolleyes

Sweden has 9 million people. Look how big that land mass is compared to the UK!!!!!!!! To London (pretty much the same population), even.

You know what, I can't keep on conversing with a bag of rocks.

Dude you are arguing nonsense, as usual...you are missing the point..

Are you not the one who was touting quality of life in Canada over the US?

Are you not the one who claimed the masses choose Canada over the US...

So please, drop the foolish arguments about land mass and livable land...all Countries have 'livable' and 'unliveable' land!

Why do you think a Country like the US can support 350 million while Canada cannot come close to that? Even with it's size?

And before you talk about unlikeable land go see Dubhai...UAE.

Moron...always muddying the issue then losing touch with the point then claiming the water is muddied.

You are the one missing the point!

Shit up and stick to celebrating injury decided championships...ok el moron?

Duh! How about you tell us why it is there...because I think we are all confused...beyond the 'quip' there is literally nothing there to make sense of...

USA: 350 million

Canada: 35 million


Yeah, I already said that...and it is 37 mill...just so you know...plus.

Let us know if you think Canada can hold 350 million people.


So can it?

What is your argument? Tell me what else can be gleaned from that inaccurate nonsense?

You certainly aren't being presumptuous and speaking for everyone, are you? Personality defect then?

Yeah, I already said that...and it is 37 mill...just so you know...plus.


And the USA is 330 mil. POint still stands, doesn't it? Or are you getting all 'semantic' as your way of admitting defeat? big grin

So can it?


You tell me. You're the one lamenting how big the land mass is, as if to say Canada is joking around and not able to get more people to leave there. big grin


What is your argument? Tell me what else can be gleaned from that inaccurate nonsense?


Inaccurate? Nonsense?

lol. Neither of these happened. Only in your mind as you look back and see your thread's angle die a slow death.
